Before you look on for your viewing pleasure, a few details. At 8:00PM Fri., Nov. 17, 2006, I began downloading pictures from my internet lacking computer to CDs to transfer to the parent's computer. At 11:30, I couldn't keep my eyes open and the first CD I made still wasn't transfering completely to the computer: INVALID MSDOS FUNCTION......CRAP....CRAP IS WHAT IT IS! Anywho, starting again at 8:00AM this morning, I was still trying to make the CD's work, but to keep my sanity, however slow and painful it was, I switched to using my 128MB USBport thingy. Besides the hundred plus pictures I had the same amount of videos it seemed. So for those of you who might feel my pain.....at 2:00PM this afternoon I was nearly done transfering when Rob stopped by and fixed my computer. So...all that was for nothing, I'm on my computer now and it's just so easy.
A WRINKLE IN TIME: I last left of at Tucker's birthday and I believe the next big hoo rah was Mother's day. I'll be updating from that point in time, so we'll see how long that takes.....NO COMMENTS PLEASE...now that I'm have painless accessibility.
I like to call this picture,
CHILDREN OF THE CORN, Rob's corn was just getting going when we went out to his place for Mother's Day, and while we were watching the triplets get the remote control airplane out of the tree, we kept ourselves entertained in the corn.
For those of you who don't know Tucker that well, he is obsessed with bugs. Especially Lady Bugs.
This could quite possibly be their first lecture by Grandpop, I'm not quite sure. It could also be a conspiracy being born between his two little minions that do his dirty work for him. When I say dirty work, I mean, go push Grandma city in the pool, or go squirt__________ with this hose, or go pour this glass of water on....It doesn't really matter, any mischevious act will do.
The best part though is when they turn it back around on him. "Grandpop can I please have that water gun?"
"Only if you promise not to squirt me."
"I promise Grandpop, I won't squirt you...."
SCREAMS, RUNNING, LAUGHTER
"ABBY, you lied to me! You better run now, I'm gettin' the hose!"
THIS IS A LIKELY CONVERSATION YOU MIGHT WITNESS WHEN THOSE THREE AND WATER GET TOGETHER.
After the home made grapling hook, attached to the end of a rope, being slung around by the Powell men, didn't work in it's attempts to get the airplane out of the tree by simply tugging on it, someone got the brilliant idea to attached it to the underside of Dad's new truck. Who can see how bad this could go? Brand new truck, nice tight, taunt rope, attached to multiple large metal hooks stuck in a tree.... luckily nothing was embedded in the back of the truck, but the airplane remains in the tree. ANYWHO, Tucker wanted to go help the redneck men of my family and was invited to do so.
Then felt extremely special when allowed to wear the hat of his sire.
REDNECK IN TRAININ' is what I like to call this one.
Again, notice the squirt gun. There was a brief struggle over power...
To which Rob won. Unloaded all the water into a five year old's face, then very generously gave her back the gun.
It took Abby a minute to realize that she wasn't going to get her revenge and so when to fill up in the pool Rob had set up for the kids.
Here is Cherol in the middle of shaking her head at Rob for his antics. I believe she kept reminding him how old Abby and Tucker were.
Unfortunately for Tucker, he thought Kunkle Rob wouldn't be mean to him, so his attempt to get water on kunkle Rob landed him a head first dunking into the pool.
His reaction was the biggest shocker of them all. Why would he cry? It's not like that was mean to do to a three year old?
But no need to feel sorry for our little Tuck, for it was only two minutes later he had refilled a glass and was heading over to mom to get her wet. RASCALS I TELL YOU!
Tucker and "Grandpa Hat" inbetween water runs.
