Evan and Sadie havin a drink

we are playing in the water in Hernando and wishing it would go away in the delta.

Adam has spent the night here..

for a couple of nights and this morning when Evan woke up he walked through the living room at 6:15 and said "dad,there's Adam's backpack, hey there's Adam on the couch" (very Goldilocks like). then " Hey Adam, let's watch us some Duke boys"

The boys got matching shirts..

from Grandma and Natalie has been trying to get their picture together with them on. Here is the closest that she has gotten. Both boys saying "hurry up mom, the sun is in our eyes".

On our way to the...

2nd T-ball practice I told Evan to go get his glove and he came back with a little John Deere and I said "no,go get your glove". He said "I'm gonna take this tractor instead". "no, go get the glove". " but Daddy, there is really good dirt there". Now, we still haven't played a game, but we got our uniforms just for something to do and he insisted on wearing the hat to bed. And as you know, Dad says whatever...just go to bed.

Boys in the Yard

Whisker Bassick

we have a little wicker basket in the pantry with gummy bears, little debbies, etc.. in it. Evan will say that he is hungry and you ask him what he wants and he'll say"hmmmm maybe something from the whisker bassick.

Henry is eating veggies now

He really likes squash.
Peas,,not so much...

Shady Shaved

Try saying that 3 times. If you see her don't laugh, I don't want her to get a complex.

All of this rain....

is doing more than keeping us from T-ball. It is flooding the delta.

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.
