Labor Day Camping

Porter and Max

Porter has been randomly building things.  He gathers wood and just hammers and screws things together.  His latest project was this bench he made.  He decided to give it to Barry.  He called it a rest bench.  So he could rest while he was working on his truck.

While Porter was building Max decided to stick his hand in the exhaust pipe of the truck.

Just chillin' in the backyard with the dog.

Look, I found Chad!

It was good to see Chad!

Boys and the sled

So I came outside to this,  These boys are so funny!  And creative.  This slide has been the best purchase ever.  It is used all the time!  Who knew sleds were for the summer too!

Boys

What's a boy to do with tie-downs and a tree?  Climb of course.  These boys have been doing this lately.  I love that they think tie-downs are some sort of harness.  One of them yelled out, "safety first!"  I got a good laugh.

Porter, Logan, Sawyer, and Alex

Porter drew this, I thought it was cute.

Dad's Police picnic party

Started with swimming, of course.  The kids love this.

Porter going off the low dive over and over and over.

Next...face painting. But for my boys, its hand painting.  They love this a lot more.  Porter has Never had it on his face.  He never wanted it.  

Camille won the shaker...WOW!

Max's new hiding place

I found this at a yard sale and painted it up.  It's the boys new favorite hiding place.

This is our game..."where is Max?" repeat, repeat, repeat!

Outside fun

Porter's new thing is to hook up the bike trailer to his bike.  He puts his friends in there or Max and gives them a ride.  They all love it.

Happy baby Shawn just enjoying the outside.

Max wasn't ready for me to take this.  He always puts his hand out like that if he doesn't want a picture or doesn't want me to look at him.

Ta-Da!!! His new trick!  

London (neighbor friend) and Porter just had to be a part of the picture.

Picking up Porter from school.

Max is so cute when we pick up Porter.  He will help yell his name, if he is playing at the park.  It is so cute!

Shawn...7 months old

He is just one stinking happy baby!  Best baby ever.  Seriously, he is genuinely always happy. 

And he is off.  Shawn, we love, love, love you!

Shawn

This little munchkin is so stinking cute!  We all love him so so much!

Painting our yard sale treasures

Max with his amazing skills.

Porter sanding...He did a great job!

Painting.

Ta-da!!! the desk once was a sewing desk.  He loved that you could put your body through it.

Finished product.  He did it all by himself and chose the colors too.  He did a great job!

Washing off all the paint.
