GRANDMA AND GRANDPA'S BACK YARD!!!!

We have had so much Fun this Summer Playing at Grandpa's and Grandma's House with Cousins and Friends! Back around 1993-94 My Dad built the Best and Biggest Tree House! Equipped with Super Yellow slide, Swing, a rope wooden swing (that was the Best, Stacey Weston Eastman and I had so much fun on it) a hammock hung inside the tree house and a roof over head made out of an old trampoline mat! My family and my little friends enjoyed and had lots of fun in this special tree house made by my DaddyO. Kayla 3 and Brookell 2 also loved it but as time passed Kayla thought the tree house needed a face lift. So early in the mornings until late in the evenings any time she got she worked her little HEART out she put so much energy into making this Great Tree House even better! but being only around 9 or 10 years old she ran out of the drive and there fore left the tree house with a lot less wood and boards then it started. NO More Lattice, No more siding so the little kids didn't fall down Pretty much a face lift gone bad! So for years now we have teased and laughed about it. Well this year Grandma Paulers had it first on the Honey TO-DO List and Grandpa Willie got it done! Yeah the Grand kids gave them a New Drive to make it Great and Wonderful once again! New Wood, New Stain, New Tire Swing and Soon to Come a 2nd New Tire Swing (I think hung on its side like at the school playgrounds) yeah! The Grand kids Love It! They spend 99.9% of their time outside running in the beautifully kept yard(Thanks Grandpa) Swings, Tramp, Slide, Bikes, Power Wheels, Slippen Slide and Sprinklers! Nothing better Your the Best Grandma Paulers and Grandpa Willie!!!!!!! Oh and we always thought our yellow slide was super fast and crazy BUT WE WERE WRONG the Neighbors just added a new tree house too so you can see by the pictures that THEY ARE EXTREME SLIDING!

Hi Candace!!
Its so fun to see those sweet little boys of yours and that beautiful little girl. What a darling family! I saw that your little girl is 11 months, 2 weeks... my little boy will be one on August 1st, so they must be very close in age! That tree house is so cool, your dad is such a great grandpa. Its so great to see your familiar face even if it is almost 10 years later!!

Love,
Nicole Martin (Cox)

Hey Candice,

I have been awaiting a new post. Looks like your kiddos are as happy and energetic as ever. Hope you are having a great summer. FYI we are coming up for a few days in August around Raspberry days so we should try to plan a day at the beach or park of something. Anyways take care.
