Just a truckin....& playin

I think we all know by now that we (Brady, Kellan, the dogs & I) love the outside. If we are home, we are typically working on some sort of outdoor project. Last weekend was no exception. Thank goodness for cooler weather !! While Brady worked of fixing up a Craig's List truck toolbox find, I sat on my pregnant rear, taking pictures and watched as Kellan does what he does, which is play with his toys. His cousin Spencer passed down his battery operated Chevy Silverado Truck. Unfortunately we can't seem to make it work, but who cares. Its still a fav of Kellan's. He gets hours of entertainment from it. He looks under the hood, checks the tires, climbs in, by himself, quite gracefully I might add and is off to driving.

While Kellan happily plays with his truck, the dogs (minus Chuck) decide to enjoy the great outdoors as well. I think Bella and Beau are quite happy with their new home and backyard. They love to run, play and eat each other. Margo of course is just happy with a ball or frisbee. She has yet to really engage in the Bella and Beau fun.

Looks rough, but I promise they having a ball and not hurting one another a bit.

A few more swingin pictures

I personal didn't want Kellan to know the top fort of the swing set existed. I figured once he knows its there, he will always want to go up there, and lets face it, I'm not a s young as he is, I can't be going up there all day long. Leave it to Daddy to show him the cool fort.

I think it clear, they both like it !!

Just a swingin

We decided to suggest, if we were asked, that people give Kellan money for this birthday. We had a plan of getting him a swing set. To be honest, we wanted one last summer, but couldn't make it happen. Some people aren't into the whole money givin thing and I get that. But we did get quite a bit, enough to pay for almost half of the the swing set we'd been longing for. Now that we had the set, its time to put it together. Luckily we have the most awesome friends that were willing and ready to help. So I cooked Friday night, gotta feed the help, and Sat afternoon was the big swing set party . Brady's friend Mark came over and stayed most of the day. Jay, Alison & the twins Willa & Dovie came and pretty much stayed the rest of the weekend, with only a short break to go home and sleep for the night. Pa came over Saturday also to help, he loves that kinda stuff. All and all it was not the hardest project I'd ever watched, but very time consuming. Best part is, its done !!! Kellan loves it, with the first push in the swing he was laughing up a storm. The twins, not so much. I guess its a boy thing.
