I walked out into the front yard one Saturday morning to find this sweet picture above. Jade sure loves to help her Daddy with everything. She had found her little wooden hammer so she could pound nails just like Daddy. They were building this...for our new dog...
HA! HA! Just kidding...no new dog at our house. We already have 2 little people to take care of! But...Ben thought he was pretty funny writing Rex on his new lawn mower cover. It kind of looks like a dog house, huh? Anyway, long story short on this one was that he was storing the lawn mower in our shed and it was making all of the girls clothes, toys, and our books smell like gasoline. So Ben built this little beauty for his friend REX!
Next project involved our front tree. Jade was super sad when she got too big to ride in her pink swing in the backyard. So Daddy built her a new one for big girls in our front yard tree. It is much sturdier and she loves, loves, loves (did I mention loves) it!
Way too high for me!
The Proud Papa with his Happy Jadee Lady!
She gets this happy little grin on her face when she swings. It make it all worth it, thanks Papa! Her favorite thing to do is get a running start, jump in the swing belly first and then let herself go. She looks like Superman!
The last "little" project Ben has been working on is digging the holes for some posts for our backyard Pergola. He planted the grape vines last year but they need something to grown up on. So Jade is helping by making mud pies out of the lovely dirt he digs up. She was quite enjoying herself...feeding her mud pies to the worms!
Here is a picture of the posts he put in. Now onto cutting all the wood for the Pergola part! Hopefully it will provide some nice shade for the backyard when it is finished.
Your backyard looks beautiful! I love seeing how big your girls are getting! Hope all is well for your family!
