Summer Fun

We have been trying to find as many ways to cool off as we can. So we decided it was time for some Slippin' Slidin'. Not just Spencer and Preston, Nate and I joined in as well.

We got some pretty good action shots.



You're never too old for a Slippin' Slide!

So we have this wooden bench right next to our door that goes out to the garage. We use it A LOT for putting on, and taking off shoes. And it's the "Time Out Bench." So it has been getting a lot of wear and tear. Plus all of our shoes were just shoved under the bench and it was always in disarray. I decided to fix it up a bit and it looks so much better now. I wanted to share my joy. It's so fulfilling to organize something and make it more functional, and look better.

The bench looks way to cozy to be a timeout bench now... now it can be the "nap bench".

Where are the pics of you on the slip n' slide? If I come over can we bust out the slip n' slide? You think I'm jokin', but I really do love them!

That looks so nice! You are so good at home decor! Yes, I too want to see you slidin' the slide!

That bench looks hot! Good job! I wish you could come give me a consult at my house and help me throw some color around.

The slip n slide looks fun. I need to get me one of those.

What great memories you are making for your boys. Looks like a lot of fun. I like the bench too. You will have to give me tips whenever I buy a house.
