July

I had a feeling I would not be good at keeping up with the blog and I was right.  We have had a lot go on in the past month, but it is all behind us now for the most part and moving forward.

The most exciting thing for us is Landon's new playset in the backyard.  The manufacturer's directions said 10-12 hours and then another 2-3 for the slide for 2 people.  Well, all in all there were 5 different pairs of hands working on it for almost a month.  Tazz did most of the work in the mornings on the weekends before it got too hot.  I think he guessed it ended up taking about 40 hours.  The good news is Landon loves it and that makes all the hard work worth it!!!  Here are just a few of the pictures I took during construction and the final project.

One of the first pieces done...backward, but done.

Landon thinking about all the fun he will have and all the trouble he can cause.

Tazz, Papa and Grandma working hard.

Getting closer...

Everything but the slide, Landon loves to swing and hang on the rings.

Finally completed!!!

Now we will be focused on getting our outdoor fountain done and the sitting area.  Here is what it looks like now after a couple of hours of moving rock and dirt.  We have a long way to go, but it will be a nice addition to the backyard so we can relax while Landon plays.

Next week will be Landon's last week at his current Day Care and we are excited to see the end in sight!  Then it is party planning and a new "school".  Lots of stuff to look forward to!!!
