So it's been a while....


Yes, it has been a while. (Thanks Jeanne for the reminder and the little guilt trip.) I feel like the summer is rushing by and we are now trying to catch up. It did feel a little like Seattle here for the beginning of the summer, rain every day. Now we are enjoying Florida weather, rain every afternoon.... But, my grass is green and I am not having to water it. So there are positives. The kids and I have been doing so many things and with working, we are busy all of the time. We have been enjoying our time though. Splash parks, swimming pools and playing with friends have all been on the agenda in the last couple of weeks. Little Otis is growing so big and beginning to mature some. Payton will be 1 tomorrow. I will post pictures of his big birthday and of the party on Saturday...
If you have been around us for any amount of time, you are familiar with the Geo, or little red car as Little O calls it. Well, it has died. Yes, 220,000 miles later, dead. This has been coming and you would have thought we were more prepared, 220,000 miles and all, but not so much. Now we will have to find another car for Otis to drive to death. Yipee!!! (Sarcasm of course) Oh well, all good things must come to an end. I have had that car for 10 years. It has been very very good to me. We are considering mounting it for a sculpture here in the yard.... Here are some pics of my boys.

LOL, how sad about your little red car. I like the yard sculpture idea. I bet Lil' O would love his very one life size car to play in and on! Like I said, the intrepid is sitting here collecting dust.........

I think the little red car would look nice sitting out front with flowers planted in it's trunk. LOL

The best I can offer is my bike. I have a wagon you can tie on and put the kids in. ROFL

Does the phrase "RED NECK" mean anything to you???? You have enough space that it could very well get lost in the feilds.... You will find it in 8 or 9 years while cutting the hay... Consider a greener end for the little red car... Recycle it or trade it in at a push pull or drag sale.... My dad had several cars that were rediscovered while clearing some trees.... Somthing to consider. 479 days and counting.
