Most of the time we play with this adorable little guy. Wouldn't you?
Besides trips to the park and heated pool with the boys we begged my mom for a "TO DO" list.
Look at this sexy man getting ready to climb and trim my parent's palm trees. I love it when he wears his tool belt! He was such a good sport when I talked him into doing this.
The biggest problem were the big seed pods. We (when I say "we" I mean Johnny did it while I took pictures) bagged them first then hacked them down so they would not explode all over the yard when they hit the ground.
In my defense I had clean-up duty. I piled and moved everything he cut down. And of course I had to entertain the baby! The other two boys were sleeping. Yeah for nap time!
Such a sweetie! I love this kid. I think it is so awesome the way the light shins through his floppy ears. Today he started blowing raspberries at me. Amazing. OK! Back to work.
I am feeling better about the investment in Johnny's new tools after all the work today. They did come in handy and it was the first time I had ever seen him climb. He usually practices climbing multiple times per week, but I have never gone with him to watch.
See the massive tree on the left? I cut that down too. Hacked it to bits. The darn thing was growing through the fence. I took out all my frustration over the "sitting and waiting" rut we are in on the poor rose bushes.
So that is what you do when you have nothing else to do...yard work! Ugh! Tomorrow we finish our taxes and tackle the upstairs bathroom. Exciting stuff, I know!

Johnny looks great! He has really trimmed down. Go Johnny! How nice to have some mean climbing skills for crazy palms and the like. Hope that list moves quickly for you though I am sure you are enjoying having him around more.
I sure miss you guys. I bet it is bitter sweet having Johnny home right now. I partly wish that is where we were at(but not really). We are so blessed to have Matt working so much but he gets off late and then its straight to homework but its all a blessing. Wesley is so big now and still think of him as a tiny baby cause I dont get to see you guys. Well we miss you and pray that Johnny gets a some work soon.
I almost didn't recognize Johnny, and your baby is adorable! Hope all is well. You sound very happy in your blog.
