Visit to the Wood Shop

On our way to visit Mamaw & Papaw, we stopped by Papaw Carl's woodshop.  Reagan and Cooper got to see Papaw Carl make the ducks that they love to play with.  They also got to learn all about the tools and even got to use some of them!

 "It's too loud!"

 I wish I had gotten a picture of Cooper's face when his papaw drilled a hole in the piece of wood ~ priceless

Reagan told me she "was sorry Papaw Carl had to loose his leg, but he looks kind of cool!"

SWING

Bubba came for a short visit this afternoon and the kids couldn't wait to show him their new play set.

 whee!

 I think Bubba enjoyed playing too

 Look at that smile

 Bubba even climbed up in the fort to play with Cooper

Precious

We got Cooper's school pictures back today and he is just precious!

 



Totally Awesome

Reagan and Cooper came home to a big surprise after church today...a new play set.  We had it installed on Friday, but they both spent the night with Gigi & Bubba...and by the time we got home Saturday night, it was dark and they had fallen asleep in the car.  So, the big reveal was today.

 Reagan said this was "totally awesome and cool"

 her first time down the slide

 Cooper's favorite part is the spy glass (there are two to hopefully lessen the number of fights!)

 Greg likes it too!

 M.O.N.K.E.Y.

 going really high on the swings

 it even has a picnic table

 and that's where they ate lunch

They really enjoyed playing on the play set today, and we hope they have many more years of fun!
