Shady is shedding...

more than ever this year. The hair is everywhere. Evan and I call the balls of it "Sadie Tumbleweeds" . I know it's gross but this is the vacume cannister from just two uses!!!we are getting her shaved this week.

Grandma got the boys ...

funny glasses. Henry got the monkey ones and unlike Evan , he can't take them off.

Just to kill some time

on a rainy saturday Evan and I drove through a car wash. He loved it.

We also went ...

"pretend" motor -home shopping for an hour and a half. Here is Evan talking on the CB "just like Bandit and the Snowman" in a 490,000 dollar one that we really liked.

Rained out again..

so Evan and I went to Waffle House for breakfast. Please don"t tell him that waffles aren't pancakes, because he loves pancakes but says that he doesn't like waffles. Again Dad doesn't care what you call it,,just eat it. We also don't go anywhere without a couple of trucks and trailers.

say "mac & CHEEEESE"

just us boys at supper in our matching truck shirts(Evan said "dad you need one too")

blue eyed Evan

Henry is looking more like Evan everyday,,eyes are probably gonna stay blue though.

On the way to school...

Evan and I saw these guys on our road picking up cans, so I turned around and followed them for a while and we had a long talk about recycling(instead of mule wagons, which I thought would have been his conversation of choice)

Enid Fish Hatchery

First we built sand castles at the swimming areaThen went over to the hatchery to see the breeding tanks,

Then we went to the aquarium that he thought was very interesting.

Turtle

Tony left his wheeler at the house for a while and now he's Evan's hero. We were riding it last weekend and found a turtle the size of a silver dollar(that sweet,sweet Georgia Brown put in her mouth, yes the whole turtle) But at least that didnt happen on my watch while the moms were at dinner and I was being the best "Manny" in the delta.

Long pasta

Evan doesn't say spaghetti, he says long pasta. Dad doesnt care what its called just have a seat and eat some supper.

---

Eat a Peach

not a very good picture of Henry, just wanted to show one of him in his Allman brothers T-shirt uncle adam made. he does have nice legs though.

---

Fireman

I hope that he is here to rescue us from Evan's mess in the living room.

---

PJ's

Mom found the boys some matching PJ's this week. Evan was excited. Henry was just Henry.

Rained out

Saturday Evan was supposed thave his first T-ball game. When he got up Saturday morning mom was leaving and he asked where she was goin. I said she is going to get her hair colored and he said"is she going to color it green? that's her favorite color." I told him they were just going to color it the same and he said "oh, yellow". Well the game got rained and and when I told him he started crying and said that mom had his water jug ready and everything. So he and I spent all morning in that garage drinking from the jug and playing with tractors.

Evan talking about Easter

Here are two videos of Evan talking about Easter. One was the day before while we were dyeing (sp??) eggs and then Easter morning after he had found his basket. He started off by saying that dogs can't eat chocolate then he said that Henry couldn't eat chocolate. Sadie joined Evan in the egg hunt.

Henry:Sunday morning easy

Since henry was born there has been a whole lot of Dad-Evan time,because Mom is feeding Henry . Lincoln Logs in the shop and spending the night at the lake. This afternoon Mom took Evan to a party at Chuck-E-Cheese and Dad stayed home with Henry. Very relaxing,,notice Uncle Adam helping in background.

What are y'all watching?

OLD PIC(but needed one for story)

(it's josh)Yesterday I was taking Evan to school and we got behind a fire truck. He said "catch'em Dad, where are they goin?"  So, since we were early (as always when dad takes him) we followed the fire truck to a house not far from school.  We circled the block and there was an ambulance there too.  He said "how did the ambulance get there?"  Somebody must have called 911.  "what's 911"  911 is what you call when you need help.  "Why?"  I don't know, that's just who you call when you need help.  He just sat there for a minute then said "I'd call Grandaddy"  I said, huh?......he said.."if I need help I call my Grandaddy"

Here are pictures of Evan and Henry at about the same age in the bath. Can you guess which one is which?

Baby Omart

Evan likes to watch Baby Mozart with Henry. Just now he said, "Mom, put on Baby Omart for me and Henry". I said, I will if you say it right. Can you say Mozart. "Mozart" Say Baby Mozart. "Baby Omart". Let's try again, say Mozart. "Mozart". Say Baby Mozart. "Baby Omart". Oh well!

LEAVES

We have so many trees in our front yard. They are beautiful most of the year except for December and January when they loose their leaves and they PILE up in the yard. It doesn't seem so bad when they are in the yard but when they are gone, it is a huge difference. We've got a leaf guy here today getting rid of them. Evan is enjoying it a lot! Here is a before and after of the backyard.

Oxford

My annual Chrimatime reunion with my college friends was moved to January this year. I was glad because Henry was old enough for me to go away for a night. We had a great time in Oxford! Here's a group picture of us at City Grocery before we had dinner that night.

Videos for the Grandparents

I'm posting some videos for the grandparents to enjoy. Two are of Evan enjoying two of his favorite gifts from Christmas - his froggy raingear and his John Deere backhoe tractor. He was a little concerned that his backhoe was getting wet in the rain, but he still wanted to ride it anyway! Then he had fun splashing in the puddles! Next is a video of Henry doing his "exercise" for the day - just a little tummy time! Then a video of the two hanging out early in the morning saying hey to Grandaddy who is away in China!

New Cousins

Here is Henry (right) with his new cousin Chase Frazer. Henry is 5
weeks older than Chase.

East Bound and Down

Evan got a guitar for Christmas from Grandma & Grandaddy. He has been having a lot of fun playing his guitar and singing his favorite songs. Sometimes he doesn't get all the words quite right. In the video above he says "watch old band-aid run"!

This week Grandma took Evan to see an I-Max christmas movie,,this is him and Grandaddy watching the at home 3-D version 

Under the Christmas tree

We had some friends stop by this morning and Evan was being shy. He got his pillow, blanket and "good dog" and crawled under the tree. He was hiding under his blanket. The next thing we knew, he was fast asleep. It was well before his normal naptime, so we couldn't believe it! He stayed there for about an hour. I hated to wake him because he looked so peaceful!
