Our New Improved Backyard

Here Greysen is being the pilot on the airplane teeter-totter and the next door neighbors' kids.
Had to have this. Luckily I had my brother-in-law and sister Shana help me assemble this huge hunk of metal. It holds 7 kids and holds up to 600 pounds. It has made Greysen slightly more popular in the neighborhood which works out great.
This is Greysen on his "belly swing." I bought him the bucket swing but that requires mommy to put him in and push. So I told him that this is the belly swing when mommy can't be with you. It took him a week or so but he eventually caught on. The yellow bucket swing is the favorite of all the kids his age.

I was shocked that he could hold onto the rings. He said he wanted to be a monkey and swing from them. Then he did his monkey noises and was cracking us up.
Here he is on the top story of his "treehouse" he likes to climb up the ladder and look into the neighbors yards and yell, "Hi! Hi!" over and over again. It took him a few days to go down the slide but he now loves it.
Here Greysen is in his "yellow swing." The higher the better. He was really afraid of swings before and would only go on them for 5 minutes but he has since moved on and loves the swing. Swing has not quite sprung, but we have had a few nice days and have spent them outdoors on the swings. Thank goodness for our new fence that was installed mid February. It has been a dream come true. Not the best babysitter but it does allow me a couple minutes to run inside or make dinner. It sure will be a dream this summer with a new baby.
