Birthday Surprises

Today when Brent comes home he will be greeted with this. (the sign Colin is holding says Happy Birthday Brent) Yesterday was Brents birthday and since he was going to be in Northern VA for his football fantasy draft I recruited my parents to come over and help put this stand together. We had this swing on our front porch in West Va and wanted to still be able to go outside and swing here. So since we didnt have a front porch we have been talking about building this stand ever since we moved in. Isn't Colin so cute on the swing. Here it is in WVA
And here is is now.
The perfect place to stretch out and relax. I think we'll all be doing this a lot. Thanks Mom and Dad for helping. And thanks Dad for doing most of the work. We love it and the boys and I have been outside swinging a lot already so it will be greatly used. And now we just wait for Brent to come home. I printed the picture at the top out and Colin is going to give it to him at the door when he walks in. Should be fun and hopefully he doesnt suspect anything.
