Summer Project - Deck

Well... it's that time of year.  Time for projects.  I've had big plans for our kitchen for years.  The orange oak is killing me.  Ever so slowly.  BUT first we put some funds towards a new deck.  We've had a deck the whole time we have lived here (see below) but have never used it.  It was simply too small to put any furniture on and still be able to walk around.  There was also a cement pad at the bottom of the deck where we had our grill.



We hired to have most of the work done.  Kris dug out the concrete slab, dug up the flowers, dismantled the old deck and laid rock under the rest of it.  We kept it the same width, just continued it to the end of the house.





Pretty excited about it so far.  Kris is going to weld a metal railing to go around as the next step.

9 months old!

Lots of changes this past month.  He was sick every single week.  Two ear infections, nasty congestion that just won't give up.  Got his first two teeth (bottom)!  And doing the inchworm to get into everything! Loves the toy room and all of the "new" toys to explore.  Sleeping until 4am (on the nose).  Not a fan of going to bed or naps. But happy, happy otherwise :)











Day in the Life


Laying in the middle of the rug right where I stand to get ready!


No; I don't want my picture taken!


Stop mom!


I will just make a ridiculous face then...


Oh wait!  You want to take pictures of Chas now!  Here I come!



Let me lay my head down in the way...


Did you get that one mom?!?


OK; I'm in.  Let me squeeze him to pieces.






Fell asleep in time out


Chas made his way behind the couch when I corralled him to living room


Then out the other side! :)


These boys, they sure do make life interesting :)

Almost 5

Starting to get a little reminiscent wondering where the time has gone.
