Brandon decided to build a picnic table today out of wood he got from Bob the Builder (the builder guy that I clean houses for). So, he looked at a few online, got some ideas, and made it up! He is so good at building things. He had to figure out all the angles and everything. It made me tired to watch him. Or maybe it made me tired to help him lift the thing...
This thing is BIG (which is the way Brandon builds everything!) It's 8' long, and as heavy as a hippo. This thing is sturdy enough to withstand
our kids. I think it's going to last about 100 years or so. It seats plenty of people, so come on over for hamburgers, y'all! We grilled some hamburgers today, and they were delicious!! The picnic table worked great, although our family seems small sitting at it.
We've got blossoms like crazy on 4 trees. It's gorgeous!
Here's Tyler, attempting to enjoy the outdoors. Poor kid had to miss the Hit Pitch and Run competition today. Cooper participated... and he was very disappointed that he didn't get a ribbon. He thought he did better than the kids who won. When I told him that maybe they hit the target when they pitched, he said, "Yeah, but my throws were really good!" I don't think he quite got the point of the pitching part! Oh, and those crutches? $3 at DI. Not bad, eh? They're a little big, but he isn't going to be using them long. At least that's what I'm telling myself.
Here's Cooper's bike rodeo that he set up yesterday. He loves to ride his bike, but he has a problem with going out onto the street sometimes. He's been grounded a few times from his bike. Hopefully he'll learn!

i know you said before that your husband was handy, but wow!!! that is one awesome table!
Way to go Brandon. We cant wait to come this weekend and have you help with the grandfather clock. Maybe you can make me a fireplace mantel while you are at it.
Wow! TRULY AMAZED! That is TOTALLY awesome that he is so handy like that! Seriously!
And honestly, who just pulls all that stuff out and whips up a table in one day?
Yes, he IS amazing!
love the picnic table.
don't you love having a handy husband? i always knew i had a handy husband, but didn't realize HOW handy until things having started falling apart around me.
it is a blessing to have someone handy around.
Love the table and totally wish we could come for hamburgers...you guys make some amazing burgers.
Love you
Wow- Good job Brandon, I want one too, can I put my order in now? JK Hey Mindy we missed you in Kick boxing today, Jann kicked out butts as usual.
Janice, I would've really loved some butt kicking today, but I ran early this morning, since I had to go clean a house at 9:00. Hopefully I can come next week!
Very cool table. Well done!
I wish I was amazing.
okay i need one of those. real bad, can i take that one off your hands and then he can just make you a new one?
I sent this post to John. I've been looking on ksl for a picnic table. But how great would this be. haven't heard from him yet. We'll see if he's up to the challenge. But then we're tlaking about john....he's always up for a challenge.
by the way...i thought of the eyre's. i remember hearing that they take their kids on a special date at 8 and tell them all about it!!
So I computed...a little late...that you blog after you gave me that sweet compliment....so I figured I'd look on Janice's...she's always up to date....I added yours to mine, which i hope is okay. I LOVE LOVE your background...which I'm sure you can see I've gotten on THAT bandwagon! I had to laugh, my husband does the SAME thing when building....bigger is better. That and heavier! So fun!
