Too much time with Mom?

I guess I like to think of it as creative curiosity!!! If Dad saw this he would probably have a fit though. He was just trying to be helpful and get Mom's shoes for her. I'm sure he'll hate me for this picture someday, but I couldn't resist!!!

Tribute Day

First of all, I know we all were affected by this day in history five years ago, but today I would like to pay special tribute and remebrance (especially in prayer) to those families who were affected tragically. The men and women who lost their lives in the plane crashes as well as the twin towers, the police officers and fire fighters who gave their lives courageously to try to save someone else's life, and last but not least, the military men and women who have been fighting since then allowing us to continue enjoying the freedoms we have. I know we get busy in our every day things and do forget to think of them let alone pray for them, but on this anniversary, let us take at least a minute to think of all those who were impacted by that fateful day.





Secondly, I would like to pay tribute to my grandpa Gwynn. He passed away just over two months ago now, and today is his birthday. What a special man who taught so much, and really didn't talk very much at all. He had Parkinson's Disease for over 30 years, yet he never complained about anything really and if he did it was something pretty serious. He was a very strong man (even if it was just his will) who never ever stopped trying. Thank you grandpa for living a life who anyone would like to emulate. I love you grandpa!

Finally Done

Here Aaron is helping Dad clear a spot for our new shed. He wanted to help in every little process as you will see. We were blessed to have a cement slab already here. There actually used to be a shed already here, but hurricane Ivan took care of that for us.

Aaron, again, was trying his best to help Dad build that shed. It was so cute!!!

Here he was actually more of a hindrance than a help, but Dad didn't mind too much.

Here is a picture of progress!!! Just waiting for the roof.

Here is the final product, complete with stuff in it and everything!!! What a blessing already!!! What a project too though. I guess there is a reason why the directions suggest at least two people to build this thing. Pretty much a one (and a half I guess) man product, so it took just a little bit longer. Hopefully no more hurricanes come anytime soon because I highly doubt it could stand a beating like they give!!!

Great Weekend

Our friend's dad owns a 1930 something street rod, and it still runs too. Aaron thought he should be able to drive it. He couldn't quite reach the pedals. We all got to take a ride in it later. It was definitely one of the highlights of the weekend!!! Aaron even gave a big ol' smile when he tried burning out!!! Thanks dad Switzer!!!

We also got to play in our friend's backyard. Aaron, again, thinks he should be able to drive already. Not quite yet buddy boy!!!

























One day we took a picnic lunch to the park. Aaron got to play on all the playground equipment, which he thought was pretty fun!!!
He's swinging with his friend Gavin who we went up to visit (you too mom and dad!!!).

Over all we had a great weekend visiting our friends. We wish we lived closer so we could have times like that more often, but sometimes we have to go where life takes us. Hope everyone else had a great Labor Day weekend!!!!

We're back

We're back from our little trip. Sorry if we scared anybody about Aaron being so sick. He is doing much better now and pretty much on the mend. We decided to go ahead with our trip because we thought maybe it would even be better for him to sit still and sleep in the car rather than try to play around when he's not feeling well here at home. We had a great weekend - short, but very sweet. I'll post some pictures and tell more about it later.
