Vince caught again

We are in the horrible phase one of South Beach again and decided that we maybe could have some sugar free pudding. Vince snuck some hershey syrup on his and got busted! He has lost the most of everybody though and he works out all day long for a living. I guess that is okay. He swears it was just a little.

workin' at the car wash

I caught Vince by surprise when he was washing his car. Look at the first picture and the scared look on his face. He thought it was lightening. Then check out the "cuteness" in his smile.

Maggie's Yellow Iris Blooms

Maggie, every time I look at these blooms I think of you. I have moved these from the last two houses and was not sure they would make it this year because they did not bloom. I know you are in heaven looking down and blessing these blooms. That is why they were so pretty this year. My little seeds are a growin'. I will take some pictures as they grow to compare.

chipmunks and bird feeders

I bought a little pair of binoculars yesterday just in time I suppose. The chipmunks had not been very active and I thought maybe they had moved on but no... They have been active at the feeder this morning. I watched at the flat hanging one this morning as the doves and blackbirds tried to no avail to scare one off. Then I looked out the window again and there another one was trying it's little best to steal seeds from the one hanging from the tree. Check out the very professional piling job I did with the rocks! Ha!

Mother's Day Flowers and watering can

Susan and Vince sent me flowers for Mother's Day and Gabe sent me a watering can and "game" shovel. He wrote the sweetest things on his card and the can. The card was the version of somewhere over the rainbow and What a wonderful world. Trav made me two CD's of his favorites from Iron and Wine. I loved everything and they made me feel so special.

Rocks!

I spent most of the day raiding the hill next to my house looking for rocks. There were many so I am a bit sore as I type. I used them to line a bed we are in the middle of planting and some trees that we just planted. I need more but got a litle tired pulling my little red wagon full of rocks all day. Our yard has been full of them and as we dig I have found many. We are on some sort of limestone ridge and along the road there are so many partially buried ones. I will be busy this summer finding as many as I can. Now if I could just perfect (ahem) learn the dry stone trade so my walls will stay together.

Happy Mother's Day

Thought this was hilarious but then again... I am the mother of boys!!!!!! Enjoy all you mamas of sons.

Dance lessons

One of the grandparents in my class is originally from India and she teaches dance lessons and sings. She is internationally known and was so great with the kids. The movements she taught them were really great and were good for them as far as having them listen to the beat of the music and crossing the midline. That is so good for brain development. Here are some pictures.

nashville

we went to Nashville to visit Gabe this weekend and I helped him plant his front yard flowers for his early birthday. I got so busy doing it that I did not take any pictures. Maybe as they grow he will take some pictures and send them to me to post. It started out raining Saturday morning as we left town, but the weather was beautiful. I did lots of baby holding and did take some pictures of Alex Trent. He is sooooo cute!
