For: Guy

I am posting this story here, because I think my father-in-law will get a kick out of it and I don't have his email address!!


Blond Handywoman

A blond, wanting to earn some extra money, decided to hire
herself out as a "handywoman" and started canvassing the
neighborhoods. She went to the front door of the first house
and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do.

"Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch," he
said. "How much will you charge me?"

The blond quickly responded, "How about $50?"

The man agreed and told her that the paint and everything
she would need was in the garage. The man's wife, hearing
the conversation, said to her husband, "Does she realize
that our porch goes all the way around the house?"

He responded, "That's a bit cynical, isn't it?"

The wife replied, "You're right. I guess I'm starting to
believe all those dumb blond jokes we've been getting by
e-mail lately."

A short time later, the blond handywoman came to the door to
collect her money.

"You finished already?" the husband asked.

"Yes," the blond replied, "and I had paint left over, so I
gave it two coats - no extra charge."

Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50 and
handed it to her.

"And by the way," the blond added, "it's not a Porch -- it's
a Lexus."

Easter

Coop got to do 2 Egg Hunts. The first was at a nature center here in town.
The eggs were hidden out in the brush and dirt, but he thought it was great fun.(Green Shirt)
Then Saturday i hid eggs in our backyard for him. It was perfect for the hunt, all the shrbs and big boulders. He looked so handsome in his little church outfit too!

My Parents were here for the weekend. It was so nice. So I figured we would get a family pic unfortunately they did not turn out so good
I think maybe I talk too much.
I hope everyone had a marvelous Easter!!!!

"DAY"CATION

On Saturday The Boys and I decided to ditch out and take a
"day"cation.
We drove down to "Valley of Fire" and had some adventures.
Coop loved climbing around the rocks.
At one point he got really frustrated because
he couldn't climb up where the Big Kids were!
Although he tried really hard.

And he got to see his first Snake. (In a Cage) He loved it!!

He was completly wasted by the end of the day.

Vegas Baby

Nicks Birthday was the week of Spring Break.
We ended up paying for the entire week at Daycare so we dropped Coop off in the morning and went to Vegas.
We love Ceasars Palace and went to the forum shops and galleries. FAO Shwartz is always fun and then we had lunch at THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY! YUMMY!

Then Nick in all his gallantry took me to a ceramic store to but stuff for school. What a good guy!
Here are 29 Things you might not know about Nick, or just that I love about him! (because he is now 29)

He loves Coop
Coop is just as crazy about him
His red devil goatee
He is so Stinkin Genius
He works really hard
He likes to build with Legos
He likes to play video games
He knows everything there is to know about Microsoft Excel
He always has to have a "Project"
He takes really good care of everything he owns
He tries really hard at his calling (with the Young Men)
He is super ticklish
He thinks that I can do more with my Art skills than I do now
He is VERY detail oriented
He has amazing aesthetic taste
He loves me most days
He let me convince him to marry me
He secretly covets every Shelbi GT he sees
He loves his parents
He worries about his siblings
He cut Coops umbilical cord ( When I asked him why he said "because he handed me the scissors!!")
He has no problem letting Coop "Help" (see previous post)
He loves to chase Coop around and around and around the couch,
and throw him up in the air
(He told me "If I throw Coop up in the air Every Day, I will still be able to do it when he is like 19!")
He loves "This Old House"
He is completely incomunicado if he is reading a new book
He has really thick toenails
He is a really good Driver
His favorite restaurant is Applebees.


So that's it, I found out the other day that Nick DOES read my blog (he let it slip).
So Nickolas I love you and I am glad we had this last year together and many more to come.
