Time To Go Outside

Okay so this is happy post. I am so excited because our backyard if finally going to be totally complete. We got the actual landscaping done when we got our tax refund and today we started putting up Laiken's new swing set. We actually had a neighbor that was in his backyard finishing up the one that they just got for their son and when he got done he was actually nice enough to come and assist with ours. Now this swing set is so cool. Ryan and I decided to get on that is all wood and it came with 2 slides, a swing, a glider swing, a trapeze bar, a picnic table, a club house, monkey bars, and room for a little sandbox underneath. Now the sandbox really isnt necessary be when we got the yard done we decided to make approx. 55% of the yard a giant sandbox as it was. Anyways tomorrow we may actually get done putting it together so Laiken will have his own little playground in our backyard between that and the trampoline. I have pictures so that you can see the process that we have been working on for so long now.

Okay so I actually had pictures of the stages of what the yard started as to the finish product and it included a video of Ryan putting the playset together. But blogger is giving me a hard time tonight so I am going to put them on myspace probaby tomorrow. It works out though because there was other pictures and video that I had to put up anyways so all is well. Let it be known though that I am very happy with the say things have gone the past couple of weeks. Life is just so good right now and I wouldn't trade this time in our lives for anything.

Laiken Attended His First Birthday Party For A Friend Today!!!

This video was shot when I went back to visit the OB/GYN that delivered Laiken. I actually go back on a regular basis to see everyone and to show them how big he is getting. Well I guess that this day he really didnt want to be there.

Now on the up to date things. Today we went to Laiken's Godbrother's second birthday party and I have to say that I think that we had a really good time. I believe that Laiken is so blessed because he has people other than our family that really do care about him. He has Godbrothers and sisters that he is going to be able to know coming up and Godparents that dote on him. The party even gave me some ideas of things that I do and do not want to do for his first birthday as well. It was definitely worth it to go if for nothing other than that. So below are pictures that I took at the party and a video of Laiken just chilling in the living room entertaining himself as well.
