Eric got us a beautiful shade tree "for Mother's Day". I was SO EXCITED, we've been dying for more shade in our backyard. It's an Autumn Blaze Maple, this is what it should look like in the fall! I've always wanted a beautiful tree!
Here's what it looks like now, the leaves are just coming out so it will be fuller. It's huge!! Comparatively- see pics below. At least I'll be able to sit in it's shade with the girls, barely. :)
I had Katelyn take pictures next to the other trees in our backyard just for some perspective. Our apple tree:

Exciting stuff that I never thought I'd get so excited about!
Such a thoughtful gift! Happy Mother's Day to you...hope your day is extra special!
ReplyDeleteThat was so thoughtful of Eric!
ReplyDeleteRebecca I know you like to run. We're training for a 5k. (Benjamin's going to run it and my Dr. says I can slowly walk it:) Do you want to run it with us? It's going to be here in Draper.
Here's the website with more info.
