Oh Boys!

If one has it, they both want it...
So, apparently they decided to ride it together


The boys watching the Cubbies


Daddy & Charlie

So big!


Charlie Monkey in the tree...

"What??? I'm not stuck?!"


Sammie... getting lots of gray hairs


The boys chasing Sammie
Carson said Sammie's just too fast for him

Red Oleander
Everything is blooming here

The front yard "project"
A few weeks ago we finally put in a walking path in our front yard.
Each of those "pieces" is a good 35 lbs.!
The "before" on the front of the house
And "after"!
I'm excited for the shrubs and bogenvias to grow up and fill in the area... that is if I keep them alive long enough.



New walking path and all new shrubs and flowers...

Carson helping plant the new red oleanders in the yard

Pink Oleanders on the side of our house.
I love when everything is in bloom!

Charlie absolutely loves basketball...
He doesn't mind at all that the hoop is way too tall. He will still stand there forever throwing the ball at it!

Spring Things

A night out for a friend's birthday
I don't consider myself a green thumb by any means so I'm quite proud of my flowers I finally got around to planting. They're still alive so far!

Carson & Charlie




What else do you do with a big box? Make a clubhouse!

Charlie is always playing around this tree...



Snack Time!

We had to bring the clubhouse outside

Happy Easter!
Charlie was ecstatic to find a ball. You have no idea how much this kid LOVES balls - especially basketballs or orange balls!

Hunting Easter Eggs

Think he's excited??

Can't.... quite.... reach.

Grandpa Hammer & Lisa just had to send silly string :)

Carson admiring his mess!



Getting Dad!

This used to be just an old table with a broken top...

Some old plates from here & Goodwill and...
a number of patient hours...
Presto! a brand new mosaic table!

My "mark" on the mosaic.
(I had to carve it backwards on the backside of the piece of glass)
