(the reason the USA can't lower its carbon emissions, 80,000 people who don't recycle watching too many cars waste insane amount of fuel and tires)Patrick has traveled to Phoenix, LA and San Francisco. First he went to a NASCAR race to "experience the culture" for a Coke Zero assignment. Experience it he did and at the 50th lap he was bored out of his mind so he left...but not before he got a pit tour, met a driver, watched the flag be parachuted in by a sponsor (and watched the flag get dropped by the sponsoring parachuter), listened to a random say-hello-to-your-neighbor-during-the-prayer prayer and gather lots of new comedy material from hairstyle, back hair, implants and obesity.
(no idea who this driver is!)Afton has been maturing her prayers with phrases like "Eternal Father" and "we bless thine" this week. Mom is grateful for a dark room during her night prayers so she can't see my biting lip laughter. It's so cute and sweet. Afton has been memorizing the bones in her body and loves to point out her pelvis or metatarsals at random. Afton is super excited for her 4 cousins (3 kids and one dog) to visit this week. Or at least she was until I told her she had to give up her bed when they are here.
Abel is a blur of cuteness. He has been asking for me to hold him lately which is nice. And he even held my hand twice this week! Abel is mastered the art of playing with PlayDoh without eating it this week. Now I need to get him to stop licking it as well.
(patrick took the camera on his trips so no new kid pictures this weekend.)

We miss you guys! Christian went to a NASCAR race too. He still can't figure out why it is the most popular sport to watch. I can't believe how much Afton and Abel are growing up! You should post some pictures of all the projects you have been doing. I need some home improvement ideas!
That's #16 Greg Biffle. Duh.
I would die laughing too if I was there for Afton's prayers. That is hilarious! And Abel just needs to be squeezed and hugged even if he doesn't want it, he's just too cute! I can imagine him sneaking little licks of the play-doh. How funny!
Ooh that's an awesome prayer...I've got another one for ya. Saying a prayer to the theme of superman. Yep, with the arm movements like your flying as well....
"thank you god for giving us food..." really, it's infectious and you'll never forget it...
...I still get the itch to lick play-doh...so I say let the boy be ;)
