Brian enjoyed using the power washer. Something about "men" and "more power". I tried to get him to explain but I was met with some grunts and gestures. (not obscence ones!)

You are never to young to start learning how to use a power tool! ( we tried to get Abby and Isabelle out here but Abby said it was to loud and Isabelle was watching Cinderella.)

I was finally able to wrestle the toy away from Brian and able to "feel the power" for myself. I will have to say it was quite fun! (yes, I did call washing the deck fun!)

It was such a beautiful day today that we decided to go outside and do some artwork. The kids always love to do things to surprise Brian before he comes home from work. The worked hard on this and by the end we had chalk on our faces, clothes, hands, feet, etc. Usually we drew the pictures and Isabelle followed us around coloring them (whether it needed it or not). When Brian got home he drove right over top of it and didn't even notice it!! Fortunately I was able to direct his attention to it before the kids saw him. Thanks to all for your prayers during the surgery, everything went well and I am feeling great!

The kids are very proud of their message. (well, so am I but there was no one else to take the picture.) Yes, I am a kid at heart.

It may not look like it but this actually doing a project TOGETHER.

Can we trade colors? Better yet, can I have all the chalk? No, can I draw on your picture? Never mind I will do my own picture. ~~ yes, the mind of two year old is quite complicated!!

Sometimes they actually play really well together!! If you can get them to both work on the same project it goes well.

Abby will always stop for a picture. She is loving her new outfit. Thanks Grammy!! It is tough to have such shy children.

Samuel is learning to play tennis. Does look like a natural or what!! (like father like son, or should I say like Uncle like Nephew! Depends on if you ask Scott or Brian.)
