Picnic lunch in new fort

Today Ethan and I had a picnic lunch outside on the new play set. Well, actually, I sat in a chair because I didn't think I'd be able to get back down. Anyway, he had a great time and would slide down the slide and run over to me saying "this is sooo delicious (which he pronounces "dewicious"). It was a lot of fun!

Ethan and his new friend

Today we were outside in the backyard and Ethan found this toad. He had such a great time playing with it! We had to tell him that it was time for the toad to go home because he kept dropping it on the pavement and I think the poor thing was brain damaged.

This past weekend, Scott, Stacy and Maddie came into town for a visit. Actually, Stacy was in a wedding so the whole family came with her and it was so much fun having them here! Ethan and Maddie have a great time together. It's so fun to see them interact with each other. Maddie is the little mother, making sure that my boys have their drinks and they are okay and Ethan is just all boy. I don't know how else to describe him around her. Loud, crazy... you get the point! Anyway, it was so good to have them here. I even got a few pictures with Maddie and she was so interested in baby Hudson. One day this week, she told Stacy that she had baby Hudson in her tummy. I thought that was pretty cute! These are just a few pictures I have from that weekend.

Rod's new project!

Well, we bought a playset and it came in 6 boxes with the heaviest box weighing 175 lbs. Rod was so excited! So, the project is coming along and not quite finished, but here are some pictures of the beginning.
