From Beginning To End--To A New Beginning

I meant to post this blog a week ago but have been doing my other blogging stuff, that I am just now getting around to doing. (watch, I will be struggling this weekend to find a post to write.)


Anyway last week my husband decided to make a surprise for me. He went and bought the lumber and I kept guessing and guessing but he never would tell me. When we got home from his Lowes trip I had to lay down and take a nap because I was wiped out.

When I woke up this is what he had done. Well he had it a bit more put together. He asked me to help him put it up on some saw horses so he could work on it some more. I honestly can not remember what he said for me to pose this question but I said "Why, its just a bench?" His reply was.."Yeah and?" Ha Ha he told on himself! I knew what my surprise was. Well not so much of a surprise now.


So here is the work of my bench in progress.

 Logan had to help too!

 Then of course I had to help also. 

Here it is! My hand-built, custom made 8ft. bench. Trust me it has gotten great use just this one week of its new life. Its nice having a place to sit outside and watch my son play or watch the birds. I have been getting up in the mornings when my husband comes home from work and sitting, just me and him outside watching the birds and just chatting. This is the beginning of new memories for us. It is amazing how such a small thing can play such a role in our everyday life. Especially an 8ft. bench.

Linking up with some weekend blog hops

Splash Pad

The husband and myself took our little one out to the splash pad today. It was his first time ever going and sadly enough, my first time. I had never even heard of such a place until this summer and I seen it by accident when we were driving around. 

I meant to take all the kids when they were all here but never seemed to get around to doing so. Today I decided it was the day to take sweet little Logan. The husband thought for sure he would not enjoy it. In the bath tub Logan does not like his face to be wet at all. 

I put together a collage of his time there. All I had on me was my camera phone. Yes I did bring my camera but the husband forgot to put the memory card in it. The built in memory just SUCKS! So its his fault I did not get the best of pictures I wanted, but that just leaves an excuse to go back out and redo it all over with the real camera. 

Logan had a wonderful time. It took him a minute to get brave enough to get out there but once he did he had a blast! I will post some individuals that are my favorites. 

After he got all dried off and changed we had to make a trip to wal-mart

He is such a happy sweet little boy

Our evening was filled with the splash park and working on a project my husband is making just for me :-) So he says. It just gives him something to do, so he says its for me so I will let him spend the money to make it. 

Here is a sneak peek

And of course baby boy has to help too

The project is almost finished and I can not wait to post pictures of the final result! Have a great weekend my fellow readers and bloggers!
