Riddin' the Tractor
My parents have a John Deere lawn mower. Now living in farm country Jonathan knows a John Deere when he sees one so the moment he laid eyes on my parents lawn mower he was memorized. Several times while we were there my dad took Jonathan on a ride around the yard on the lawn mower. He even let Jonathan steer, which almost gave me a heart attack. Both boys enjoyed sitting on the lawn mower while it was parked. They made car noises and of course wore the protective ear phones.
Have you ever seen a cuter lawn mower driver?

Oh wait here's one!
Whatever will we do with such handsome lawn care workers?Thursday, September 3, 2009
My Bathroom
One of the reasons we bought the house we did was because of the bathroom. We looked at another house that had a walk-in closet but the bathroom was smaller. We decided that it was much more important to have a large and comfortable bathroom than a large closet. After all my clothes aren't going to complain if they are squished but my husband will complain when we bump elbows while he's shaving.
We have always planned on painting the bathroom but have never found a color that we really liked with the towels and shower curtain that we had. For the last year or so our towels have been slowly falling apart. Finally this past Saturday, while we had company visiting, I'd had enough and we headed off to find new towels, rugs and a shower curtain. And we can't just have one thing going on in our house so while my friend and I hung out, played with the kids, and made dinner, Dan painted our bathroom. I LOVE IT!
The colors compliment each other so well and it is so absolutely calming. The color is soothing in the evening but doesn't seem dark when we are getting ready in the morning. The blue towels are my new favorite color. And oh my gosh are they soft. The rugs are super soft and feel amazing on my feet. The aren't non-slip so we need to get some carpet sticky stuff to hold them in place but for now we just walk carefully.
We also got brown towels to use when the blue ones are dirty. You can kind of see them up in the right hand corner of the picture above.
And we decided to purchase this cute toothbrush holder that matches the towels we got. Before we had our toothbrushes in a cup that I got when I moved into the dorms 8 years ago. It won't come clean anymore and just looked disgusting, this is so much better.
I LOVE my new bathroom! And I love my husband for being willing to paint our bathroom on a whim!

A Budding Artist
Before I post about our trip, which I promise is coming, I have something more recent to share.
Pullman is home to the National Lentil Festival. Every August, on the same weekend our town is flooded with returning college students, there is a street carnival, a cook off, and a parade all dedicated to the lentil. As part of the festivities there is a coloring contest. Apparently while Jonathan was doing summer camp with Pullman Parks and Recreation he colored the entry picture and his camp teacher sent it in to the lentil festival. I knew nothing of this contest entry so I was very surprised to receive a call on Thursday informing me that Jonathan was a finalist and we needed to be at the stage on Saturday to receive his certificate. I was so proud of him! Jonathan was super excited to get a certificate. He ended up getting 3rd and we are so proud. We were even able to get his winning picture to take home with us. It was such a positive experience for him and the memories will last forever. Needles to say I will treasure this picture and his certificate forever. And now I present our artist with his masterpiece.

Remember Me?
Hello, is anyone out there? I've been guilty of some serious blog neglect recently. I'm back from vacation and I promise I'll get back to writing. I'm looking at pictures and trying to tell the story of our trip to Alaska. We had a lot of fun and I do hope that when I finally write the story y'all will have fun too!
