Ryker's New Bed!



It is with great excitement that I introduce you to Ryker's new bed! This is a very special bed because his Dad made it for him. Todd spent 3weeks making this beautiful bed. I thought that it turned out amazing! There is a cool story about the wood that this bed was made out of. In our old apartment our landlord cut down an English Walnut tree. The landlord was just going to throw it away. Todd thought well if he's just going to throw it away than I'm going to keep it. So he hired a guy from Logan, UT to come and cut the wood into boards with a portable band saw. THen we took the wood to Idaho in Todd 's parents house to let it dry for a year (thanks Craig and Carla for letting us do that) Now that its been a year.. Todd cut up the wood and made this beautiful bed! So now, Ryker always has a piece of his first home, Pretty cool.

Ryker is very proud of his, what he calls "slide bed"



As you can tell from this picture it makes him very happy ! :)




Both Ryker have been playing on the bed ever since. Sadie loves it just as much as Ryker does. Everytime we have any visitor over Ryker shows them his new bed. The best part about this bed is that alot of times Ryker will take off his clothes down to his underwear and then he will try to slide down the slide but his skin sticks to the slide and he says "look mom, I'm stuck" everytime he does it, I die of laughter its so funny.

It is an incredible bed. Genius idea about the slide. Now in the winter you can stick him in his room and he'll have fun for hours. Todd is super talented.

NICE bed! That looks awesome! Can Todd make one of those for grown ups?? :)

Can Tom and I come over and go down the slide butt naked?? haha, jk...but seriously...

The slide looks so good! Todd did an amazing job. I bet he could sell beds like that and make a pretty penny.

Also love the Olympus pictures! Add some explorer hats and you guys are hard to the core!
