We are loving the good weather and taking advantage of it. We went outside the other day and played on Hailey's powerwheel. She just likes to play the radio and talk on the phone, she is understanding that you have to push the pedal to go, but doesn't steer very well. We ran over the neighbors flowers and my back was a bit sore trying to bend over and steer for her, but she loved it. (as you can see from the pics she is all smiles.)
I have also been driving my Grandma lots of places lately(the mall, fabric shops, gas station, etc) and really loving it. I told Dave there are times that I feel that I spend more time with her than anyone else, but it is so nice to live close to family again. Today I taught her how to pump gas, she asked me the other day about learning how to do it, she is a true lady and has never had to do it for herself her entire life! SHe didn't learn to drive until she was 20, her family didn't need a car and so they just didn't own one. It cost 15 cents to do public transit and they lived in the Avenues and public transportation was readily available. Today we also got fabric and I made curtains for Preston's room. It is fulfilling to get something accomplished in one day. (I will post pics later.) In the mean time I am loving my grandparents, they are so much fun to be with and are so good to my kids, they love them. Today my Grandpa was putting a small stuffed animal on top on a wind-up ferris wheel and then letting it fall off on its head, Hailey thought it was hilarious, even though it breaks my heart that he is starting to lose his memory, he is still a kid at heart!

Crusin' around in my automobile

Hey Michelle! I found your blog! How are you guys doing? (I stink at keeping up at facebook--I am only slightly better with my blogging)
What a great life! I always wanted a Barbie jeep when I was little. My dad had a real go-kart that we could drive, but it was too fast for me. The first time I drove it I crashed it into my aunt's roses. I didn't really get the whole concept of braking. If only I'd have had a pink Barbie jeep. I would probably be a better driver today.
