These are a few of our favorite things.....

Do you have that song in your head now? I do...

Patrick -

For the life of me, I cannot figure out why this is one of his favorite things....

Pat really takes such good care of both of our cars, my car is a 98 and we always get comments about how nice it is. Once, at Jiffy Lube, the mechanic actually asked Pat if he would sell it to him. I am so ready for a new car, but it's nice that I have such a good guy to keep the one I have now in such good shape. If you can't tell, this is a picture of him cleaning my engine... I have a hard time cleaning it period. Which Pat likes to tell me I don't do enough of. But the way I see it... If I let it get dirty enough, he does it for me :).

editors note: I took these pictures yesterday... this morning Pat washed both of our cars... see he just does it for me, I don't need to ;)

These have become my babies! Pat built me these fabulous flower boxes for mother's day this year. Aren't they cute? I told him he should build more and sell them... We did a veggie garden in one of the big ones. The tomato plants are going CRAZY! We tried some strawberry plants, but I think I'm going to move them out and plant some peppers... the strawberries that do start to grow, just get eat in by bugs. I am so proud of my green thumb this year, I use to have a hard time keeping house plants alive, but all of my plants (even my indoor ones) are really thriving. It has become one of my most favorite times of the day... to water and check on them. We are gonna have more tomatoes then we know what to do with soon!

Brooks -

What can I say, he gets a 99 cent car when ever we go to Walmart... by the looks of things, we go to Walmart WAY too much!

Then there are his Disney cars, which I'm afraid to say is the result of his mother's collector itch. I always look for a character we don't have when we are in the toy section... He loves his cars, he has to have them to sleep, to take a bath, to take with us when ever we go anywhere... I always find them in my purse and in the diaper bag. He puts them there, not me. I think it's because if we forget to bring them, mom always has some on hand. This is his major "sharing issue" the one thing I cannot get him to share. Hopefully he grows out of that!
