Summer Projects...

Haden is such a good little worker. Hes always taking stuff apart to see how it works then putting it back together wonderfully. A little mechanic like his daddy.
His newest project is redoing his and Treas old skateboards. they took the wheels and trucks off,They sanded them, with no help. Then with a little help painted them. I am so proud. Not having endless amounts of money ourselves, we are always trying to teach or kids to be happy with the things they have. These days I think its so easy for kids to be spoiled and become ungrateful. When their bikes have flats they fix them with patches and slime...when they break a toy we glue it or tape it. It might seem silly to some. But to us its important that our kids learn these life lessons rather then think something new will always be provided. Times are tough around the world and will probably only get tougher..I think these life lesson will be so valuable to them when they become adults.
I am a proud mama =)


Finishing the paint

Trea sanding. This was his dads old board..







Haden sanding his board.

Jordan got a skate board at a garage sale! Still had the price tag on it. Only $10. He used his weed pulling money.

Fathers Day 2011


Happy Fathers Day 2011, To my loving Hubby! He is the hardest working ever. So loving and So devoted. Thank you for teaching our children that it is not the material things in life that matter but the love and bond you share with your family. You could care less what others think of you (which does drive me crazy sometimes) and only aim to make your family happy. We love you!!! oxoxoxoxoxox

Playdays...

Lindy LOVES having playdays with girls. Its not like her brothers will do girlie stuff with her so if shes got a girlfriend to play with shes in heaven!! Cousin Brielle and Lindy have been having weekly playdays and the girls have such fun together. Sometime at our house and sometimes at Brielles. This time it was at our house and the girls played dress up and looked soooo cute! Then they had some ice cream and then played playdoh with some playdoh lindy and I had made earlier that day. (Cindy steal these pictures if you want )

Lindy looking so proud of the pink glitter playdoh she made. Her school teacher gave us the recipe!

Debs...This pictures is for you. Lindy and I modeling our OH SO CUTE matching aprons you got us. We love them and always wear them when we cook. Even the boys wear it, heehee =)
