play house...

For about 7 months my dad and the boys have been building "the dream" play house of all play houses.



Years back our family built a play house, but as my brothers got older they grew out of the old play house and wanted a new one. So they came up with the design and of course my dad was happy to help. They used the old wood from our fence and the play house turned out amazing. It pretty much has everything you can think of... well for boys. From trapped doors, to a secert door, and to a swinging door, perfect for nerf wars and whatever boys do :)

The boys have been out there for hours, even in the worst weather, they go till they can't keep going. All the boys friends were cheering as Bryant hammered in the last nail. I think everyone is a little excited to spend a lot of their time in the new hut.



Since its so big I can't just get one picture of the whole thing so I had to take a couple on each side. Good job dad and boys, it looks great :)

  Here is a couple of the inside, I could only get the two walls cause the other two have big windows and nothing would really show up. I teased my brothers that I was going to put curtains up on the windows, they were strongly against that idea. They made sure to tell me that, "its a guys hut, nothing girly can be in there."





Best Friends

This quote is so true and I love it. There is nothing greater to have then best friends, I'm lucky to have some of the best friends in the whole wide world.
This week has been a great week getting to spend time with my best friends. Tuesday night Natalie, Kelsey and I got together and made no bake cookies and watched Step Up 3. We were having such a great time that they decided to spend the night.



Wednesday morning my mom made us a big breakfast. Later that night Kelsey invited me to her family friends house for dinner. She made all these Albanian dishes from her mission, that were really good :)  I haven't seen the Hardcastles since Kelsey left so it was great to hang out and visit with them. We later went country swing dancing. Natalie met us there and after dancing we stuck with the tradition to go to Taco Bell and get nachos. We ended up getting actual meals and just sat and laughed the whole time.  Thanks Nat and Kels for being such great friends and for all the great memories we have had.
