What's with that?

As Mark pointed out to me......do you think it is strange that coaches and such in baseball wear a uniform like the players even though they don't play the game? I mean, what other sport do the coaches wear uniforms like the players? What's with that?

Chris Tomlin pic

Here is the picture from when Steve and Mark went to the Chris Tomlin worship leader concert at Club 3 Degrees in September. According to Mark, he is bending at the knees to appear a little shorter.

Here's the birthday card I made for Mark. He calls me the inspector....because I'm always inspecting the walls when he's painting.

Color on the walls

I love having color in the house! We pretty much had each room painted in our house except our bedroom. So, last weekend, Mark was busy painting our bedroom. Here's the before and after photos. The walls were all white and now they are Brazilian Tan and Dusted Indigo.

Mark the master painter!

Off to a wedding

Our adventure to a wedding in Loyal, Wisconsin. It was a beautiful day for a wedding! I love weddings!

Makena wanted to wear 2 pairs of sunglasses.
We stopped at McDonald's/a convenience store for lunch on the way to the wedding. We were getting ready to leave and Makena asked what these bottles were. I said they have windshield washing fluid in them. She then asked if we'd take her picture with them. How can you turn down a request like that? Thank goodness for digital cameras! Here's Makena - the spokesmodel for Power Blast windshield fluid.
The red-neck get away vehicle.
Uncle Mark, Makena, & Skylar are ready for a ride in the horse-drawn wagon.

The wedding party. Everyone looked beautiful!
The beautiful wedding cake.
Skylar outside the church by some fall decorations. Makena wasn't in the mood to have her picture taken with the fall decorations. Oh well.....I guess the windshield washing fluid picture will have to do.
Makena after the wedding. The girls had very cute dresses on!

Horse-drawn wagon ride

The wedding party takes the 1st ride in the horse-drawn wagon. Then, they give rides to anyone who wants to go. Uncle Mark took Skylar and Makena for a ride.

The difference between Mark and Jonay

One of my (Jonay) favorite meals is Tuna Helper...the Chessy Pasta one. I guess I'm quite the plain Jane eater. Mark usually.....okay, always.....doctors up his meal with hot sauce, jalapenos, and cayenne pepper. Here's Mark's plate:
Here's Jonay's plate.
