On Friday evening while Beck and I waited for Daddy to come home, we spent some time in the front yard. We have a LOT of bunnies in our neighborhood and Beck loves to try and catch them. As he's running, he's yelling as loudly as he can, "BUNNY!"
On Sunday night, he saw two bunnies in our neighbors yard and chased them. The bunnies stayed together and Beck had them cornered at one point but they were too fast and got away. Les and Judy (our neighbors) came out and invited us to see their bunny they keep in a cage on their back patio. He's solid black and about seven years old. Their back yard is small but relaxing. They have several banana tress (with bananas!), a couple of water falls and no grass...they have ground cover instead. I think Beck thought he was in the jungle!
The picture is from Friday night and the video is from Sunday night.
My super hard-working husband works on our house every weekend and he has done so much to improve the looks of it! I'm so lucky that he has the skills to do this because it has saved us a ton of money. I'm also blessed that he wants to do this on the two days off from work.
This past weekend, he painted the trim on our house to match the trim on our windows and it looks awesome! Even our neighbor, Judy, came over and said she loved it and was jealous because she has the dark brown trim.
While Brent painted, Beck and I busted out the chalk and drew lots of pictures on the side walk, took a super long walk and Beck spent lots of time in his Little Tikes car. Regarding the super long walk...Beck was in his car pushing himself like Fred Flintstone and I thought we would come back when he got tired. Little did I know that it takes a long time for Beck to get tired. I asked him several times if he wanted to go back home and he said, "No" so we kept going. After going several blocks, Beck decided to ditch the car and walk. We ended up walking to the very end of our street (Stilwell) which is .5 mile so we walked a total of 1 mile! I didn't have a cell phone which didn't matter because Brent was outside painting and he didn't have his cell phone either. I was praying he would get worried about us and drive down the street looking for us. That didn't happened and of course Beck got super tired of walking and wanted me to carry him. So, I'm 8-months preggers, carrying a 35 pound boy AND pushing his car home. Needless to say, I was completely exhausted by the time we got home.
This is Brent taking a break to draw a picture on our sidewalk with Beck.
In this picture, you can see the difference between the old paint (dark brown/black shutters) and the new paint.
All done except for the door! I love it!!!
The little machine that cleans the bottom of the pool is known as, "Freddy" at our house and Brent explained to me why he's called that...When he was younger, he and his siblings loved to watch horror movies and Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street was a very scary character that always jumped out and scared you to death! His fingers were made of knives which resembles the tail on the pool sweep. So, he and his siblings decided to call the pool sweep, "Freddy" because he could sneak up on you while you are in the water and Get YOU! Or, sometimes, he pops out of the water and his tail will fling water at you.
Beck seems to think Freddy is his toy and always wants to play with it or get it out of the water. If we are near the pool, we can count on Beck to point to Freddy and say, "Mine!" On this particular evening, Beck was having a blast with Freddy's tail. But, before he started playing with Freddy, Beck wanted my camera so he charged at me with chocolate on his face and notice his fingers are crossed. Also, the broom is on the ground because Beck was using it to clean the pool! 
This is Beck pointing at Freddy saying, "Mine!" 
Saturday afternoon, we watched Marcus as Jeff and Jill attended a wedding. Beck woke up from his nap and was still a little sleepy so he crawled into daddy's lap while Brent was also holding Marcus. It was sweet to see Brent holding two little ones. And, this was a small hint of how our life will be with two little ones. Beck was very kind and gentle with little Marcus.
