William is almost one!  I've been taking pictures of him every week in the same chair to watch as he grows.  Here's a video I made of all the pictures.

Fence Staining!

This weekend we spent many many hours staining our fence. 

First we power washed it... the part on the left is after the power wash, the part on the right is pre-power wash.  It was exhausting, but fairly easy.  We also cleaned the whole fence first with a TSP/Bleach mixture found on the box of the TSP powder.  It worked well on the mildew.


This is after Rob stained it!  Left is before stain, right is after stain!

 

This is me power washing.  Oh yeah!


We are about 1/2 way done I'd say... alas...

Will and the dots.

I know it has been a while, but we've been busy around here.  We got back from a great trip to California.  One of the things we brought with us was the Microsoft tablet, the Surface.  On the Surface, Will has learned to play a new game.  We are so proud of him!  I know, it's silly, but fun!

 

Mother's Day

Rob bought me a hammock for my very first Mother's Day.  It is perfect, and we got to spend today relaxing in the hammock.  All three of us can fit in the hammock at the same time, and Irene comes next to us and drops her ball into the hammock.  A true family bonding time!


 

 

Dancing William

Will has learned to shake his head/dance!

 

Happy Cinco De Mayo

I had fun dressing Will up for Cinco De Mayo!  We went to a Kentucky Derby/Cinco De Mayo party yesterday and he was a star of the party with his maracas and sombrero.
