New cheap toy!

We have been frequenting garage sales this spring and have found quite a few toys for Seth. Some of them are older toys we both played with as kids that you can't buy in stores anymore. The one pictured here Seth absolutely went crazy over the first time we gave it to him. He has since enjoyed it lots.





There have been lots of laughs with this toy. It is really nothing special in my book, but if Seth likes it, it is well worth the 25 cents we paid for it!!!

The shed

I know this blog is about Seth, but wanted to share these pictures too. Jason is currently building a shed in our back yard, a much needed thing since we have very limited garage space. He started a couple Saturdays ago, but since it has gotten rained on quite a bit so he hasn't made as much progress as he would have liked by this time. I think the shed looks great.
Wall #1 is up!!

The first wall we decided to put the siding on before placing the wall verticle because it would be harder to paint once it was up. So, we painted it too, it did not take long.

Just to show, I did help out a little, even if I couldn't do all the construction stuff that Jason has done. Painting is fun when you only have a little to do at a time.

Becoming more brave...

Seth has started to explore our backyard more and more recently. Just lately we haven't been able to be out there much b/c it's just been too wet. We have gotten a lot of rain lately. But, a few weeks ago Seth crawled all over the yard. He had a good time.
These leaves look tasty, mom, can I eat them? He managed to just play with them which was good, he had lots of fun looking for things to "play" with.

One night stop

Jason's family stopped by for one night as they had to attend a funeral in the family. 4 of Ruth's kids were also here though they did not stay with us. We had a BBQ on Memorial Day in the living room since it was rainy and cool outside.
Here are Sam and Grace, all the kids seemed to be glad to be out of the car, it isn't a horrible long trip, but just long enough with that many in the vehicle.
Sam and Seth are so cute together. They had alot of fun playing with Seth's different balls. And, they are both pretty accurate "throwers" too!!

The girls hanging out!

It was a houseful since we couldn't be outside much because of the weather, but we all had a good time anyway. Maybe next time they come it will be nice out and we can be outside more.
