Water Turn

This is what my Grandparents' backyard looks like when the irrigation water comes through.

And this is what the boys look like splashing through it...


...and then dunking in it!

Summer Rain

Does it matter if the kids are all ready for bed when a perfect summer rain storm hits? You can't see it in the video very well but it was POURING outside and it was too good to resist!

Song Lyrics

Michael and I always love it when we come across good songs that have great lyrics. Here's one I found yesterday:

"Congratulations" by Blue October

Is that seat taken?
Congratulations
Would you like to take a walk with me?
My mind it kinda goes fast
I'll try to slow it down for you
I think I'd love to take a drive
I want to give you something
I've been wanting to give to you for years
My heart

My heart, my pain won't cover up
You left me..
My heart
My heart won't take this cover up
You left me..

I came to see the light in my best friend
You seemed as happy as you'd ever been
My chance of being open was broken
And now you're Mrs. him.

My words they don't come out right
But I'll try to say I'm happy for you
I think I'm going to take that drive
I want to give you something
I've been wanting to give to you for years
My heart

My heart, my pain won't cover up
You left me..
My heart
My heart won't take this cover up
You left me..

And I can't change this
I can never take it back
But now I can't change your mind
(You left me)
And I can't take this
I can never take this back
But now I can't change your mind
can't change your mind
(You left me)
Can't change you mind
(You left me)
(You left me)
(You left me)

Just make it go away
Make it go away
Please.
