Tattoo worthy!

My boys are something else! First, Brian and I have decided that Blaine's artwork is tattoo worthy! We are so in-love with the little people he draws that we are willing to forever put it on our bodies! NEITHER of us taught him to draw this, which is why I claim he has mad skills that he gets from his daddy:

Drawn by Blaine on our shower wall with these which we LOVE! Brian and I leave little comments to one another all the time, LOL! Fun for mommy's and daddy's to! Although it might not be clean fun for us, ha ha! (DAD-SUE, just act like you didn't read that)HA!
This is just one of the many awesome things he draws - this being our most FAV!
As I stated before, Leelyn is a mover! Here he is in his pap-chair-swing which he almost has scooted his way out of!

Here is a short video of him LOL:

God - give me more patience and energy to keep up with my boys.

Down came the rain and washed my neighbors OUT!

My neighborhood has been in the news several times for a very serious problem:

As you may notice from this picture courtesy of Fox 2 News, several homes are close to falling into Fish Pot Creek. The storm runoff is in debate by many. With each storm that rolls through, more land, chunk by chunk is falling off and into the creek. This is right across the street from my house and effects approximately 5-6 houses in my neighborhood alone. It is literally feet from their homes. That "cliff" is approximately 25 feet high and a serious threat to the families that live in those homes. I do believe that every house has a family, meaning children! I am happy to say that MSD is finally going to fix the problem after a long road of debate (which I am a great debater myself) and many voices speaking out! A couple of fellow residents that reside in those homes have done an outstanding job having MSD finally fix the problem! We were on the news yet again last night which is excellent publicity for us! Being a trustee for my neighborhood this really has been top priority and very concerning for us - but in reality it has been the people that live there, one particular man that has really taken the lead and got things moving in the reconstruction process, Clay!
