THE MAKING OF A SWING SET

So Mommy and Daddy gave me my Birthday present a couple of weeks early and at first I had no idea what it was......to me it looked like a bunch of sticks!!!! But as you look through the pictures you will see what it ends up to be....... Thank you soooo much mommy and daddy I love it and to my big brother for giving up an entire weekend to help daddy make this!!!!!

This is what was in the boxes when they started opening them up....... You should have seen the instruction book that came with it.....daddy said it is the biggest book he has read in a long time....

They first started to build it on the grass and then they realized that they better move it to its spot before it got to heavy.....look at daddy and Daniel high five each other after they moved it.

Opening of box number 2......

If you notice I thought that it would be a good idea if I stepped in and started to help after all you can never have to many helpers....RIGHT????? I got my hammer daddy where should I start banging????

OOOHHH you need me to drill instead.....OK I got it....

Daddy step back I got this one.......

Well I decided I would play around for a while before getting back to work.....

OH great Sissy is here to play with me........

Enough playing back to work.........

Now where did I put those pliers??????

Time to start leveling out the land.......

Wow do I love to dig and this shovel is way better than my green shovel....

Good idea Sissy we probably should rest a little bit......

I'M BACK...........

Oh this is starting to look pretty nice....

Look what happened I went to bed last night and when I woke up this morning I thought that my daddy had gone to work BUT when I looked out the window this is what I saw!!!!!!

Finally my swing set is done. It took 14 hours to build and here is Daniel I let him swing on it for the first time after all he deserved it!!!

Daniel was helping across the monkey bars!!!!

I am checking out the picnic table and if you look in that window it is my secret club house...

Here I go sliding down the slide for the first time......he daddy how is that swing?????

OK daddy you keep swinging I am going back up on that slide...

HAHAHAHA....daddy you are on the monkey bars!!!!!!!

This is the best slide EVER!!!!! I think this is the biggest slide I was ever on.

Thank you so much Daddy for building this for me. I love it and I love you!!!!!

HAPPY 16TH BIRTHDAY DANIEL JOHN

WOW is all I can say about the fact that Daniel is 16 years old.......for all of you that are reading this I don't have to tell you how fast time goes......of course it makes me sad to see my little boy turn 16 BUT it makes me so proud to see the man he is becoming right before my eyes....people dream about a son like this and I am lucky to say he is MINE!!!!


Well Daniel decided he wanted to go to the Melting Pot for his birthday dinner all of you that have been there know that it is NOT a place that you can eat and get out...we were there 3 1/2 hours and with a 23 month old you may think I am crazy BUT maybe Michael is learning from his big brother because he was PERFECT the entire time.....



Having a little snack before we eat.....

HUMMMMMM what do I want everything looks sooo yummmy.....

WOW this menu is HEAVY!!!!!!!

AWWWWE....look at these two......

Here they are fondue-ing it up!!!!!!

Back at home we had cake and again if you have ever been to the melting pot the last thing you want to do when you leave is eat anything else BUT we had to have cake!!!!!

The birthday boy cutting his cake.........The cake is a seven layer Reese's Peanut Butter Cake........

We all managed to have a piece........a very little piece HAHAHAHA

I LOVE A GOOD BIKE RIDE!!!

One of my FAVORITE things to do is to go on a long bike ride with my mommy and daddy....the other day we went on a 10 mile bike ride we had the best time!!!!

I have the best seat........ OK dad...are you getting on or not?????

Last year daddy had to ride with me BUT this year I am pretty sure I can do it on my own!

Just waiting for my daddy to fix my helmet.....I guess my head got bigger since last year...must be all my smarts!!!!!

Hair-cut Day!!!

This was my 3rd hair cut and I love to get it done. This time mommy and daddy decided to get my hair cut really short....Mommy calls it my "summer cut"

This place lets Mommy blow bubbles inside~ I am very ticklish .....hey stop that tickles!

My turn to blow the bubbles..

I am being such a good boy.....

ALL DONE!!!!!

Enjoying a little beverage in the car after my haircut.

What we are going to toys r us now??? YES I love hair cut day. I hope my hair grows really really fast!

Playground FUN!!!

Well we really have not had very many sunny days lately, but mommy and daddy decided to take me to the BIG playground yesterday and we had a really fun time.....the bad part was that we could only stay 30 minutes because it started to rain......daddy said that we could go back again real soon!

WOW this is a really big playground...

This is my new "trick" I am learning how to skip.....

Where should I go first????

YES the big boy slide....last year mommy would not let me go down it because I was to little.....Look out this year.....

It looks much higher from up top mommy......

WEEEEEEEEEE......this is pretty fast.......

Another slide not as fast but just as fun!!

Time to climb!!!!

This so much fun.............

Come on Mommy just come down the stairs with me.....

All I can say in this picture is WOW check out my HAIR....hahahahahaha

I have a secret girlfriend......

So it started off as any ordinary day.......but after I got up from my nap my mommy said that I had a package that the mail man delivered......I could not wait to open it!!!!

First I opened the card....
You should have seen it had a picture of a doggy on the front BUT the best part was the inside where "she" colored me a picture.......

OH MAN a new car......I love cars "she" said "she" likes them too.....WOW

It is the fastest car I have in my toy box!!!

I also got some really cool clothes.....including this hat...."she" must like her man to wear hats!!

Here is all that she gave me........

I am not going to tell anyone who my secret girlfriend is....BUT I just wanted to tell her THANK YOU and I LOVED IT ALL!
