Father's Day

Happy Father's Day ! These two men in the picture above are the two that made me the man I'm proud of ! One is I still have one I don't but I know he is with me . In my opinion men are not what they once was and I'm proud to lead by example for my boys like I did with them . 

My Father's Day was great look at my present 

I traded my little great on gas 2011 Kia forte coupe for a much more larger Kia 2012 optima I love it alot more room for the boys in the back . So back to today I started my day visiting my grandfathers grave with the boys and we all had a nice lunch ! Then we headed over to dads for present exchanging and a little fun at pawpaws here is my little one working on his police car with his pawpaw ! 

Funny guy ! 

Now kick back and watch a little basketball 

Have a wonderful evening

Strawberry cream pie

Can I get a drum roll please !!! I did it I'm officially a cook and I'm waiting on the food network to contact me ! Ok that's a little too much but hey I'm proud I'm not a cook and I know all you ladies are saying that its not real cooking but I did it and it is actually good ! 

A couple days ago I went to the patch and got a bucket and I've always enjoyed a cold strawberry cream pie but I wanted to do it without my wife's help ( k I had you on stand by ) 

 

I washed and started slicing ! I didn't cut one finger or needed no bandaids !

Then I mixed up the pie filling with the strawberries 

There you go my pie ! I'm so proud ! I bet you ladies are laughing right now HEY it's a start right !! If I lied and said I made homemade whip cream would you believe me ? I thought  so thanks cool whip ! 

Have a wonderful day

Randomness / neighbors

Good morning friends I hope you all are having a great week ! Very busy here the last week of school is here and we have 5th grade graduation Friday with a breakfast before and it's one of those weeks where there is something every day ! Were trying to get I 3 nights a week basketball practice , 5th grade pool party last night , graduation breakfast and graduation Friday , and a big basketball tournament Saturday oh did I'd mention 75 hr work week !!!!!! 

So I haven't had anytime for fun projects at home so I haven't had much to blog about ! Sorry I haven't commented on a lot of your blog it's just been so busy ! 

Ok so I will show you a sneak peak into one project I'm working on ! First I quick story I have been in my house for 13 years and the neighbors to the left of me down the street we have never associated with your typical lazy , drinking , sorry people BUT they keep to themselves and there really no bother except when we call the city to make them cut there lawn !!!! We haven't had to do that in awhile so that's good ! Now the neighbors to the right She was always been a great neighbor someone I have trusted even had a key to our house  when she had breast cancer last year my wife washed her hair , went to grocery store for her all different kind of things . To make a long story short her husband is a real jerk (that's being nice ) hates people and his self ! He decided a few weeks ago to put up the ugly most ridiculous fence between us that I can't describe . So we're trying to find away to put a nice privacy fence up but until then I'm planting some border trees and going to mix in I think some knockout roses bushes to add color ! 

I just don't understand why people want to waste the only time that we have being nasty to people and not enjoying life as best they can ! My grandfather told me " be good to people because everyone will need somebody one day " So my question is how is your relationships with your neighbors ? Thanks for listening to my venting this morning ! I hope you all have a great day !

Lantana

Good Friday friends ! What a busy week with preschool graduation this week and 5th grade graduation next week it's been a busy week here at the little White House ! Yesterday's high was 87 so it is feeling like summer and in the summer I start planting lantana . Do you guys have any or know about it ? 

Is a gorgeous fast growing plant that loves heat and I have several different places around that gets so hot that its difficult to get anything to grow ! So lantana is great and very easy to maintain.

So I went shopping 

On the back deck it gets so hot that lantana is about all that can grow there so I planted them in my wife's big tea cup planters lol ! 

 

Hope you all have a great weekend ours will be full of basketball but I'm off work I can't believe it !! Talk to you Monday !
