A Bird's Eye View

Dispute Between Neighbors - this is a true story...

A city councilman in Utah , Mark Easton, had a beautiful view of the east mountains, until a new neighbor purchased the lot below his house and built a new home. The new home was 18 inches higher than the ordinances would allow, so Mark Easton, mad about his lost view, went to the city to make sure they enforced the lower roof line ordinance.

The new neighbor had to drop the roof line, at great expense.

Recently, Mark Easton called the city, and informed them that his new neighbor had installed some vents on the side of his home. Mark didn't like the look of these vents and asked the city to investigate. When they went to Mark 's home to see what the vents looked like, this is what they found...

When I grow up...

Apparently this child's Mommy works at Home Depot and is shown selling a shovel in the picture. Now get your mind out of the gutter.

Pump-Keens

Henry calls this shirt his "Pump-Keen" shirt.

Waa!! Waaaa!!! Waaaaaa!!!!!!

Ben has figured out that this big blonde woman runs to him everytime he cries. Almost every time I put him down he starts. The urgency of his cry causes me to feel anxious and so I end up carrying him around ALL day. This gets to be a bit exhausting.

I laughed when my dad sent me an email of "useful inventions". I got a kick out of The Zacky.

"The Zaky is an ergonomic infant pillow designed by a mom to mimic the size, weight, touch, and feel of her hand and forearm to help her baby with comfort, support, protection, and development.. The Zaky can help calm your baby and help your baby sleep better through the night."
