Skater Dudes & Mother's Day

As many of you know, Wade has recently started skateboarding. He did this as a kid and is apparently interested in either killing himself or reliving his youth. I say killing himself, but he would disagree. Anyway, Andrew is not to be left out. He got a little skateboard for Easter and LOVES to go outside with his daddy and "skate". He actually isn't bad for a 4 year old and can stand on it with one foot and push off with the other. The shot above is from a few days ago - he is wearing his Daddy's helmet and it fits him perfectly!

Another shot of Andy "skateboarding."

Avery is wearing her brother's bike helmet and I'm not sure why! Andrew never lets her use his skateboard and she didn't even have her bike out!

I submit to you proof that white men can jump! Wade is doing what is called an "ollie". Please ask him for further explanation as I look at this and see danger!

Avery got a kid's digital camera for her birthday and is taking a picture of me taking her picture! One day soon we will load her software and see just what kind of pictures she has been taking. The quality is low for a digital camera, but it was $20 and perfect for her first camera I think.

I have 5 bushes in my front yard that had me puzzled. I did not know what they were until the other day when they started blooming. They are gardenias and they smell lovely! I have picked them and put them in my bedroom and bathroom.

On Saturday we went swimming at mom's and ate dinner in celebration of Mother's Day. Here is Sadie (and Rob underwater) in the pool.

And my little scaredy cat Andrew! He is so much like me at that age. I was terrified of the water and would dare anyone to come near me or splash me.

And my little daredevil! Avery is pretty fearless in the water and can't get enough of it :)

Just a picture of Mom opening a few gifts!
