New Table

I attempted to make my own table using a plan I found on a new favorite blog http://www.knock-offwood.com/

I haven't done the finishing touches yet but it is constructed and usable now and we are loving it so far! I still need to sand it down and stain it.

Rowen the Motorcycle Dude!

While we were in Lawrence today for our weekly lunch with Daddy, Brian put Rowen on the motorcycle of our friend Steve. Rowen thought it was pretty cool!

Little Boys and their toys

Rowen has been enthralled with Lawnmowers ever since we bought our new one. He expected Daddy to use it everyday immediately after he came home from work, many times to Rowen's disappointment.

Rowen was given a toy lawnmower by his Aunt Cathy and her kids and he has been in love with it ever since!

Last night Brian went out to finish mowing down the wild back yard and Rowen went out to mow with Daddy!

Another point about the pair of mowing men...Brian wears a ball cap when he mows to keep his hair back. Ro decided it was part of the uniform for the job and he insists on wearing a ball cap too (he just happens to have a couple)...it is just so cute!

I'm old!

Well...my eye sight has changed on me a bit since I turned 40/had Kelvin in October. My near vision is really blurry and it has been bothering me. So, I made an appointment with the eye Dr and had that appt. today (4/28). Come to find out it is common for this to happen once one turns 40 (the eye muscles start to get weak). My far sight is perfect!!

My options: to get "cheaters" as the doc calls them, the reader glasses you can get at the store (the granny glasses style...the 1/2 glasses that sit on your nose) or get bifocal glasses to wear all the time.

For the time being, I am going to try the "cheaters" and see how I do with those, and if those don't work for me (the switching back and forth) then I will see about the 2nd option.

I'll post pictures of my self in my "granny glasses" or "cheaters" once I pick up a pair.

My eyes have been dilated all day due to my exam so I haven't made it out to the store yet :)

a "Rowen-ator"

I was sitting on the bed with the boys and I called Kelvin "Kelvinator" as I sometimes do. Rowen proceeds to point to himself and say "I Rowenator". I just had to laugh!

Go right ahead and be the first three. You never know what you might get!

Camo Baby!

Yesterday I had Kelvin dressed all in camo. It was really cute. I was calling him my little army man, but as Brian points out he could be a hunter too (our little Elmer Fudd)! This is for you Uncle Lee and Grandpa Z!
