It's Finished!!

Well after three weeks of hard work, the weather constantly changing from hot to cold, windy to snowy, after pouring sweat and blood into it(yes blood, Nate accidentally drilled into the palm of my hand, just a little bit), the swing set/playhouse is finally complete! I have been so excited to have a little playground for my kids. Living in Las Vegas we had a park just around the corner that we walked to almost daily. Living in the country we live a good driving distance from a park, so I am so very happy to have a this swing set for our family. Now all I need is for it to warm up and stay warm (not hot) and I need for the wind to stop blowing so hard. Then we want to have some of our little friends over for a picnic to help break in the new play set. Thank you Pa Pa and Grandma for all your help with the swing set. Having a picnic break. I am never in our pictures because I am always the one taking them. So I ask Nate to take a picture and this is the best he got of me. The other one is worse than this one. Urggg! SSSHHHH! Kyle's sleeping. After we were all finished our neighbors (Ashlyn's friends) Austin(5)and Brooklyn(8) came over to play and help test the new swing set. We had so much fun, and yes, my building skills held up to the test. I am now a pro swing set builder.

You guys are gonna be a hit with the neighbor kids! Just like when we were growing up, the Losee's tramp was always the best!

I love the swingset! Great job building! It was fun making barrettes today! We will have to get together again sometime.

WOW!!! I can't believe the things you can do! That turned out awesome!

And...I know what you mean about never being in the pictures. When I take I picture, I at least TRY to make the people in it look good. Ben takes the most horrible pictures of me. It's not even worth being in them. :)

We'd love to help break your new playhouse in.

And thanks for the recipe!

Ang, hi there old friend. I found you from Melissa's blog. I've been watching the playhouse progress from week to week and I take Nanna to Sweet Pea's. Looks totally fun! Good job. We need to get the girls together to play since we didn't end up moving to UT. Nanna still says "there's Angela's and Ashlyn's house mom" when we drive by. Besides if the girls are playing we could play too with our cameras. I'm starting another class next mon. can't wait.
