Mom's Birthday Gift... that keeps giving... and giving... and giving...

For Mom's birthday we repainted both the porch and the arbor and bought her a wicker swing for the porch.  Here are our beginning efforts.

* we got the littlest involved... I see the makings of a master painter *

The arbor was a frightful sight... can't believe we weren't more embarrased to have our friends walk under it!  The boys had to scrape the old paint off before...

... the new could go on.

* we still managed to have smiles at the end of the day *

Happy Birthday Mom!  May you enjoy this gift for many months to come!

(The gifts that keep re-giving itself over and over are really the best!  You should try it sometime!)

Any Thoughts...

... on our fashion choice?!

Da Bestest

So we had a lot of fun on Sunday with our amazing Mom.

  * * Here's a little view of our presentation of gifts * * 

* * I think the little girls win the prize for "Most-Uniquely-Wrapped-Gift" * * 

(shoe and sweatshirt)

* * Gifts cards in cute wrapping are always a good deal * * 

* * Some gifts get accidently left behind at the store, so a picture has to do for the day! * * 

(We won't mention names to protect the guilty!)

* * The fav candy always brings a smile * * 

Mom, we love you so much.

Thanks for being ours!

That Time of Year...

* every cookout always ends with rides on the zipline *
