Peeps on Parade

Hey!  We're marching in SARGE'S PEEPS ON PARADE this Memorial Day Weekend.  And 'cause we love our peeps so much, we're gonna spend the whole post telling you about them.  Be warned, though, they are not nearly as exciting and fun as us.  We've tried to put lots of pics to keep you from falling asleep. 

Dad is a fun (and funny) guy.  Things are more exciting when he's around.  He's worked in construction for lots and lots of years. 

He wears one of these

BUT

These are his tools

NOT these

He's more of a project manager and makes sure the wooden things get put together right.  He still gets to use HBO words, just not while holding a hammer.  Dad actually likes to build things, but just for the family.

He put this together all by himself

Ha Ha.  Just kidding!  But he did make sure some of the woodwork inside that building got put together right.

Like this - Vegas, baby! 

Some of Dad's favorite things to do:

Traveling with us, especially in the mountains!

Playing fetch with us!

Hmmmm, an interesting serious thing about Dad.  That’s kinda hard ‘cause Dad’s a pretty funny guy.  But, we guess this could be serious – many years ago Dad trained for Search & Rescue with our brother Jake and Gracie. 

Now, something funny about Dad - well, there's lots of stuff, but most of it we can't really share here.  But here's something we can share - he's really good at imitating Carl from Sling Blade - you know, "I'd like me some more of them french-fried taters, um hm."  this cracks Mom up!

Okay, now for Mom.  Mom loves to make stuff and learn new stuff and has a short attention span.  She's had lots of jobs over the years and then found metalworking and she's been in love ever since.  She loves melting, hammering and sawing metal to make jewelry. It's one of her favorite ways to relax, too.

And, of course, she loves hanging out with us.  She also loves movies, especially romantic comedies.  If there's a dog or a horse init, that's even better - Must Love Dogs is one of her faves. 

She hates to cook and is not sure what this is or how to work it.

She loves the mountains but hates snow.  A tropical island with mountains would be her ideal place.  Um, as long as there was a restaurant close by, preferably Mexican or Italian.

 We think we could dig that, too!

See, even when we embellish, our peeps aren't very exciting!

PeeS - If anybody talks to Sarge, tell him our Peeps Post is up. Blogger still won't let us comment on his blog. We'll be away from the computer tomorrow, so we'll catch up with everybody next week. Have a great holiday weekend!
