summer project 2011

every summer my mom and dad do a big project. remember how last summer we got a new backyard? well, this summer i'm getting a new basement and a new room for my baby brother.

who ever knew we had so much stuff? we had to clean out the basement, and now we don't have any room for any cars in the garage!

how many toilets does it take to potty train a boy like me, anyway?

i've been working with my dad to help my mom...she's a little stressed out. here we are fixing the doors--so that they're all the same height.

i can hammer great. everyone at home depot and floor and decor sees me play with tools, trim, and tile, and they say i'm going to be an engineer one day...

this week we got lights, paint, and tile. i can't wait until my playroom is finished!

as if watching over the basement project isn't enough work, my dad is also making my baby brother's room perfect.

he put this wood up on the walls and painted, too.

hopefully all these projects are done soon!

backyard fun in the hot, hot sun

even though we've had weeks of temperatures in the 90s, i'm making the most of the great outdoors. i showed aunt molly how you can catch a cool breeze if you swing high enough.

i love racing my dad on the slip n' slide...

he's bigger and slower than i am, so i got the special prize every time.

one day my mom even turned our deck into a backyard beach.

nothing like a sprinkle of cool water on a hot summer day.
