Johnny found a bird nest in the yard

You could see some left over bird food in it.

"I love you Dad!" "You're the greatest!"

It's so easy to get these and so good to hear!!!

Something to rest my mind a bit today.

Somebody got a little carried away with a magic marker and my laundry...

But I love it! Wouldn't trade the world for this title, or the surprise in finding it where I did! Haha!

What the rapture will look like?

"I better be working on something!

Cody saw my camera and I heard him say, "I better be working on something!". So he grabs a crayon and quickly pretends.

Then Johnny gets up and throws 4 16s! They are one dart behind and Andy has one last turn... The little booger throws a double with his last dart to beat me 22 to 21! Needless to say, there was LOTS of cheering on their parts!

They are teaming up against me...

Andy even scored a bullseye with this shot!

I can remember dreaming of playing darts with them one day. Last night we were hanging out in the garage and having fun doing just that!

It was me against the two of them... We were playing cricket and just counting up the scoring darts. They were holding their own...!

I may be thinking ahead a bit... But I found these excerpts from a book I am reading with my weekly prayer partner. It is about stepping up as a Christian man. I hope I remember this long enough to implement it with my boys, their children and their cousins. :)

I remember doing the same thing at this age...

I used a magnetic letter T. He's using a guarded razor. :)

You may even have to zoom in to see them... Just to the left of the gray fence post.

They're getting better. They were hitting 50% of the 3 inch targets at 21 feet. Not bad. We're practicing trigger control and sight picture. ;)

The Earth from the Space Station

I came across this video a few days ago. It is pretty neat to see the city lights, storms, and Aurora from space... It is worth the 5 minutes. Although if you don't watch the whole thing, at least watch the first minute or two just to get a feel for it.

Andy made a Top Shot nomination range.

If you've ever seen the show, you'll know how clever he is. Haha

I look out the window and he's taken some branches and an old piece of fence and built a shelter.

Now it's Andy's turn

He's been saving for three months, for a Garter snake. He stumbled on a 50% moving sale yesterday and was able to get ALL he needed instead of only half of it. He got a nicer cage out of the deal too.

Now, all we need to do is find a snake!
