Safety First!

I mentioned a couple posts ago how much Hunter loves to be wherever her daddy is....this weekend was no exception.  Brian has been working feverishly on his trailer in the back yard. By 'working,' I mean cutting, welding, painting, etc. It needs to be ready in time for Hunting, you know. 

Good thing he had two helpers! (Actually, he did have three, but Colton somehow stepped out of this photo op. )

Pretty confident when I say the kids could've cared less about the actual 'work', they were simply thrilled to be wearing their Safety Equipment! (Good thing Dad keeps eight thousand pairs of ear protectors around here.) 










 Watching from the safety of the nearby chair. 








 And this little monster, fresh from the tub made me think of a new funny 'Colton-ism' that has been heard quite frequently lately....
As you might imagine, when they get out of the tub, I often say something like, "Look at you! All nice and clean and soaking wet!" 

I NOW realize that he has overgeneralized what is, in fact, proper usage of this phrase. For instance, he can often be heard proclaiming something to the effect of: 

Mommy, I'm 'soaking' tired! 

or 

I'm 'soaking' hungry!

or  better yet

Mom? I'm 'soaking' sad. 



Man, kids say the funniest stuff. I wish I could keep them small forever.

Father's Day weekend...part 1

So he only waited 4+years to be a dad...what does he choose to do on his Father's Day weekend?? Pull weeds! I guess you have to be a guy to fully understand that! I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm all for pulling weeds, when it's cool out and after it's rained so the ground is soft...not when it's 100 degrees out! But-being the good little supporters that we are, I brought the babies and the dog out to "supervise". Here we are watching Dad work hard!

Mom and Colton...the heat made him droopy!

How cute is this kid? He's sleeping in his Coleman Chair! He's ready to go camping!

So we got a little warm in our clothes...so we took them off! (Well, the babies did!)
The Babies!



Brian picked up his chair and brought him in the house....still asleep!
Father's Day morning, we went to our usual hangout...Starbucks!
