Joshua's 4th Birthday

We helped Joshua celebrate his 4th birthday this afternoon at the park ~ too bad the weather couldn't hold out for one more day, but the kids didn't seem to mind the cold or the wind, they play hard no matter what!

Visit to the Wood Shop

On our way to visit Mamaw & Papaw, we stopped by Papaw Carl's woodshop.  Reagan and Cooper got to see Papaw Carl make the ducks that they love to play with.  They also got to learn all about the tools and even got to use some of them!

 "It's too loud!"

 I wish I had gotten a picture of Cooper's face when his papaw drilled a hole in the piece of wood ~ priceless
