Touch a Truck and a Mimi Visit

I have a week to catch up on in the blog world! Last weekend, we took the boys to an event called "Touch-a-Truck." It was so fun for the boys, they could climb up in and explore all kinds of things on wheels. There were motorcycles, 18 wheelers, a SWAT truck, fire engines, ambulance, sheriff and police cars, disaster emergency units, a backhoe/digger, UPS truck, an electric co. truck, a huge Razorback 18 wheeler, a limosine, and I think that was about it along with bounce houses, give aways, and a project tent for Home Depot. We had a lot of fun!



Here are the boys in one of the trucks for disaster relief. This is a 4 bed/bunk part of the truck for the workers to get their rest when going to help a city affected by a natural disaster.

Here we are inside a limo...and not just any limo...a BMW one - this one was so spiffy it even had marbled tile flooring!






Here are the boys in back of the sheriff's car...I told that that was the only time I ever wanted to see them in the back of one of those!

Here is Carson with the cute little planter that he made at the Home Depot station...isn't the apron cute? He liked doing the project, Cal just wanted the apron, then we couldn't get him to put it on...oh well.













My mom came for a visit and would you believe the only pictures I took were these? I was awful about pulling out the camera when she was here. We had a great visit, as always, and she helped me pick out some pretty flowers from the nursery to plant in my front porch pots. Here she is watering them after she did all the work planting them. I'm so proud of them - thanks mom!!!
