The Pad That David Built

After much deliberation as to what it should be, David decided that the proper thing to put beneath the future playhouse was a wood deck/pad. It turned out great!

He painted it with outdoor porch paint instead of staining it so that it would be less upkeep (no annual re-staining) and no slivers for the kids. He did an AMAZING job, as always!!

The House That David Built

After 4 months of rain and weather delays David is proud to announce that our Isaac and Briana now have a house all their own in the backyard!!!

It has a a cute front door, a little bar with 2 stools, A little garden box, and a cover porch with a pull-out storage box. Thank you Sam's Club!!

(And thanks to Alisa and Gary for letting us use your Sam's membership to buy it!)

Pathway Paving

Before, during and a little after Mamita and Andrea visited over the 4th David worked tirelessly on paving our pathway. We had these little rocks there, but the kids just seemed to trow them everywhere, so he thought a solution to the problem would be to place stones in it to deter them from digging. It looks great, and he hopes to finish the path before the end of the summer.

The Planter Box

After our vacation we tried to use the beautiful planter box that David built and get our garden in as soon as we could.

We have:

Zucchini, Cucumber, & Pumpkin here,

Tomatoes, Cherry Tomatoes, & Green Peppers,

Watermelon, and 4 Strawberries.

Our pepper isn't doing well, and the cucumber isn't doing well either, but we'll see how it turns out!
