Great Weather

 We have been blessed with some fantastic weather in the last week.  70's and sunny!  We took full advantage of the nice weather and spent most of the weekend outdoors at the park, on the swings, yard work, wagon rides, gator rides, kicking the soccer ball, coloring on the driveway and playing in the sandbox.  We even got to see GrAndi, Papa, Lily and Josephine this weekend.

A good artist is always a mess...

See bucket... See dirt...

 Grab dirt to put in bucket...

 Hutson and Lily eating lunch together...

 "I'll give you a grape if you give me your ham and cheese..."  (they traded food until they had a plate full of what they wanted...)

 Sunday afternoon drive...

 See Lily's terrified face looking back?  Hut put the gator in second gear and took off!

 Papa and Wheeler.  Wheeler is currently obsessed with his Papa Tim.  You can't even mention the P-A-P-A word without him freaking out and looking around to find him.  I won't even tell him tonight that we are going to the ranch tomorrow for fear he will be so distraught he won't sleep.

 Look at that smile...

Hutson's birthday is only a couple weeks away and we have lots of things to do to get ready for it...  but he is really only excited about the cupcakes!

Wheeler is a clone...

 ...of his daddy.  You can't look at this picture and tell me that expression on his face isn't Jerry's.  I love it!  (Sorry the photo is a little blurry, but I couldn't not post this picture)

 

 my blue-eyed baby...

 Hutson likes to stand on the rocks and jump off and see how far away he can land.  Maybe I have a future long jumper on my hands...?

 

 The Wagon.  It has been getting a lot of play this week.  Our backyard is a bit of a hill and goes straight down in the back.  Hutson likes to load up Wheeler and run down the hill full speed over all the bumps.  Wheeler loves it.  Hutson loves it.  Mama, well I don't love it so much.  I have visions of them hitting a bump with one wheel and sending Wheeler flying into the nearest tree and Hutson tripping and the wagon rolling right over the top of him... but I'm not dramatic or anything.  The other reason I don't love it so much... I have to pull them up the hill every time.  They get to the bottom, Hut climbs in and starts yelling at me to pull them back up... they want to do it about 50 times in a row... did I mention its a hill?  Did I mention that combined they weigh 65 lbs, plus the 30 lb wagon?  ugh.  But they have fun and they haven't gotten hurt yet and I guess that is good.

 

 

Happy Birthday Iris!

Our little buddy Iris turned 2 this week and we were happy to be able to help her celebrate today.
