A Bat, An Impromptu Photo Shoot and a Bench

Impromptu March Happenings.

This little bat lives in the pillar on our front porch.  He usually makes a little squeaking noise when he wakes up.  Then he climbs up and pokes his head out to see if the coast is clear.  If it's not clear he will squeak and duck back down.  He does this a few times before getting brave enough to take off.

  


He really is kind of cute and I love that he eats mosquitoes!

Josh is about 10 months in these pictures.  I haven't gotten his pictures taken since he was 6 months old so I thought I would try to get a few.  He was pretty tired and the wind was blowing.  He was pleasant for how tired he was.  I guess we really need Aunt Meghan to come visit!
Here are some of the pictures from the shoot.  He is still pretty cute even if I didn't get any real smiles.  You can still see his little personality coming out.

I have wanted Andy to make a bench to go with my table in the kitchen. He finally has time to work on it. :)  These are the only pictures of the building process I got.  He did a great job!
Getting the braces ready to attach to the legs of the bench.
We should also note that the garage floor is extremely slippery with saw dust on it!!


Getting everything lined up.


Nathan was his helper.  He may or may not have slipped on the floor!

Monster Truck Show 2016

Feb. 27, 2016

We decided that the Monster Truck show was so exciting last year with Grandma K. that we needed to go again.  We sat in the same spot again this year.  There was a banner hanging down in front of us that made it a little harder to see, but it was still fun.
Bradley and Daniel waiting patiently for the show to begin.

Eliza
I love this girl!
A friend kept Josh for us since it is so loud at these shows.

 
The trucks coming in.  Grave Digger was the first truck in.  He is one of our favorites.

 
 This Warrior Truck was new to the Monster Truck Show.  He rolled over twice during the show.


Also new to the show was Sonuva Digger.  He was pretty cool too!


 
Scooby Doo is new to Monster Truck Shows.  The driver is a woman.  She did really well and gave the guys a run for their money!

 

 
The Warrior Truck having another go at the wheelies.

 

Mo Hawk was another favorite.


Crush-station!
