HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THESE TWO!

Happy Birthday!

These two always manage to come up with the most unique (strange) gifts for each other. One year was a hose nozzle with a light on the end for Warren. Wayne got a bug zapper that looked like a tennis racket. Warren got Monkey Butt powder for Christmas this year. Now Wayne is wondering about the unknown he is to get from Warren this year! Keeps life most interesting!

He just can't wait to get "on the road again"!.....

Tonight is Carlin's last night of Driver's Training! Not only do I wonder where the last four weeks have gone so quickly, but how on earth did he get to this age so fast!!!!! It seems like we should still be in the stages of fastening him in a car seat--but I will admit I really like this age! (most of the time!)
It has been quite entertaining at times. After his first time of driving with an instructor he comes home and we ask him "where all did you get to drive?" and his response is "I have no idea!?" But he was on Interstate somewhere! Okay--were you headed North or South? Again--not sure! I asked his buddy that is also in the same class and find out Carlin drove quite a ways on Interstate! His one comment of driving on Interstate was about changing lanes, looking over your shoulder and making sure you don't turn the wheel while doing so!!!! The instructor helped hold the wheel on that one! (thank you very much!)
The second time out driving with the instructor, she had them drive down the street past the middle school while it was letting out! She must be one brave woman--or something! Carlin said "I went to step on the brake and it wasn't there!!!" Yeah, it was already down! (Again...Thank you very much!)
Actually, it hasn't been too hard riding with him--so far. I haven't had to attempt stepping on the brake on my side too much!
We will just hang on for the ride!

Collage Concert

This was such a fun concert. Carlin was playing in the Arts Center Orchestra here. The man on the right side is Kyle's music teacher at school. A little long but quite entertaining!

The Sixth Great Lake

I'll try to get these pictures up from last weeks flooding. We had four inches of rain is just a couple of days. We haven't seen this much water since we moved here. I guess we even made national news!

Happy Birthday, Mom! 87 Years Old!
