the south has risen

i was totally impressed with the effort put into this monstrosity. it reminds me of mississippi.

boating trip

sunday we went to the lake and mario took his boat out. we all went on a short ride to copper canyon and the kids all got out to swim ( and mario). it was fun and marios boat is finally running great. we went home early (about 5ish) and i was taking a nap by 5:30. rare, but i was so tired from the week. the boys go to erics for the weekend then jule and owen come back monday. ian gets to stay for the whole summer. the other two will get to go if diane makes it full time while still on vacation. jule bug is climbing the ladder, ian has on the red vest and owen is sitting with the blue vest.

mothers day

in stead of doing something, i opted to stay home and clean for mothers day. the boys swam all day and i changed out ians bed (twice, yes, we broke 2) . i cleaned and cleaned then cooked for a few days and it was nice, but now i need to do it again as is to be expected with a crew the size i have.

the top to a cool rhino job i did.

custom seat covers to match the top. this job was really nice looking

my very cool zebra toenails. i love summer nails!

we are alive.

jule bug doing a flip into the pool. he totally rocks

o dogs being the crazy boy he is.

i-nez trying to do a little grilling. he is trying to get into cooking more and wants to work for his aunt rachel really badly. it is what he is planning when he grows up.

jule dougas as dirty as he can get, shoeless from forgetting them at martial arts and just a total and complete mess. i love these boys more than anything.
