yup, this is what we hicks do fer fun

When Jake got home from Salt Lake and his car was filthy dirty, I offered, out of personal sacrifice on my part, to drive it to the car wash for him. Alex, who loves the Bullitt to the extent that he caresses it every time he sees it, came with me.

I love to spend quality time with Alex. It seems like ever since little sister came along we don't get near enough of that, and whenever we hang out I am amazed at how much he's grown--even though I'm with him every day.

So I took Jake's point and shoot with me so we could play with it while the car was being cleaned.

I'm not sure who he is playing peek-a-boo with here...but whatever.

And pay no attention to how precariously his booster seat is situated. I think it's safe, but it looks so unstable. Megan, just don't look...

I love watching my kids in the automatic car wash. I think it's so hilarious.

And while the car is getting the inside cleaned we have to go to Orange Peel. I don't take the car in that often to be washed, but when I do this is our little tradition.

I asked him to look at me and smile, and this is what he gave me. Does it not look like he's about to give me the finger?? What are the kids teaching him at that pre-school?

When I got up to pick up our smoothies he snagged the camera...And here we are together. That boy is a sweetheart. I love how excited he gets over the littlest things.

Speaking of excited, while we were there I asked him what his favorite things were and I had to hurry and write them down because they were so funny...I mean AWESOME!

1. Bullets

2. Fire

3. guns

4. steam

5. power wheels

6. the road

7. rocks

8. sticks

I guess I should be worried about some of them. If I'd read this list before I had kids I would have been filled with such fear for that boy and his future.

Now I'm all, "RIGHT ON BUDDY! STEAM! YA!"
