Best Friends

Well here is my first video upload. I've been wanting to do video for a while now.
I gave up but I thought I'd give it one more try.
Anyway I thought this was pretty cute.
I keep saying Masaru and Yuki are best mates, and now you can see some of what I see every day.
I love them.
Don't you just love when a baby is hysterically laughing?
She was laughing a bunch more so I'm sad I didn't catch a better footage of it. But this is the best I could do.

Father's Day

So this is what Dru got for Father's Day. I'd say it's the perfect gift. It's so he can nap all sneaky like, and no one will no the wiser!!
So here he is, trying them on for size. Do you think you'd be fooled? For starters they're blue not brown so unless Dru's wearing coloured contacts there's something fishy going on.

This is the card above and the instructions of how to use them.

He got to sleep in, in the morning and I think he slept a bit at church, and then had a nap after church and then we went to bed at regular time at night. So I'm pretty sure if Dru was to tell you his perfect day........................it'd be sleeping around 3 times in that day.

We love you babe, there's no one around who can sleep better than you!!!

Happy Father's Day

My dad, Myles Papa, is the best dad in the whole world. Just like Kristin paid tribute to him on her blog, dido. I love that he taught me how to work hard, and not complain(too much). I love that he taught me how to do anything I needed. He has taught me to Lay tile, paint, general carpentry skills, change a tire, check and fix minor mechanical problems and many many more things. I'm lucky to have worked with a man who is so meticulous about the kind of work he does. I'm blessed to have been able to go on many road trips cross country with my dad. It was there that I talked, and talked and he listened. We are a good team, my dad and I. Happy Father's Day Dad and Papa.

Happy First Father's Day, Daddy

Happy 1st Father's Day daddy! Thanks for always being my built in playmate. I love getting a free ride all over the country. Your back provides the best place for me to see the world! I love you! Myles

Mylo and Mommy

I've just discovered how to make a picasa collage. I thought these were fun pictures of our journey together. We've come a long way baby! From the first night in the hospital to our big trip to the East Coast we are never far apart. Man I love this kid!

It's beautiful out

It's been so nice out these last few days that I have been inspired to work a little in the yard. I finally bought flowers for my pots on the porch, trimmed back the bushes in the front yard so that you can see Myles swing in his tree swing from the chairs on the porch and I'm even planning a brick patio in the side yard. There has been a big pile of bricks there since we moved in and I think it's time to do something with them. It's going to take some time and a little money( I will need a few more bricks and some sand), but I figure if I plan to stay even one more summer I am tiered of looking at the dirt over there. It would be really nice to get a table and chairs to sit and have dinner outside. It's a perfect spot that's always in the shade of the huge fig tree.

I have a beautiful box garden than is now doing really well after just two weeks. I hope to see some "fruits" of my labor by the end of July. Square foot gardening has been really fun and easy. For those who don't have a place in the yard to garden this is the way to go. All you need is a spot that gets about 6-8 hours of sunlight and a few 2x8's. Even my beans are coming in well, and I had to plant them from seeds. After the patio is in I think grass and a fence to keep the dog in are next on my list. Hopefully by the end of the summer.


I'd also like to plant some rose bushes on the side of the house by the mailbox, but there are no sprinklers there and I don't know if I really want to hand water them. So...I'm still thinking about that. I do hate the dirt there however. Maybe some ground cover will do....

The last thing on the list is to get a citrus tree to plant in the huge pot on the front porch. I have a tree of sorts there, but it doesn't do well in the heat of the summer and I just can't look at it any longer. It's REALLY sad looking and I just don't think it is going to get any better with time so a Lemon tree might be nice. Everyone has lemons here, except me. I know it won't get any fruit for many years, but if we move I can take it with me. How great it that!

Like I said before, It's beautiful out, and getting even better!

Confused?!?

So this morning Masaru took all his clothes off to go potty. Whatever, that's fine. So he was running around the house naked and wanted to go outside.
I told him he couldn't go outside unless he had a top on and at least some undies.
I had a shower and have been going through our house either throwing things out or putting them in the 'yard sale' pile.
I go outside to check on him and this is what I find.
I think he feels like the rest of us.
Should to dress for snow or sun?
Oh well, what the hey, I'll dress for both.
