"Daddy, can I use your staple gun?" - that is how my day started today and I love every minute of it!

How many dads get this question from their five year old?

Whenever I work around the house, Jacob is there to help. I know that I work at half speed when he is around because of all the questions I have to answer, and the curiousity he has that tends to get him in trouble - but it is also fun.

My favorite thing is when I ask, "Jacob, can you get me a screwdriver?"
and he says, "Do you want a philips or a flathead?"
I am so blessed!

I am the richest man in the world

I am down in Santa Maria enjoying my boyz. Jacob was just watching a cowboy movie and wanted to go to the park to rise te horses. His biggest desire: to be a cowboy.

Sexy Woman

The last week my wife has taken to several home improvement tasks:
Strippping two doors using potent paint remover chemials and a belt sander

Stripping paint for Nathan's soon-to-be new bed.

I find it very attractive when I see her use my air compressor, belt sander and chemical gloves for removing paint. A few weeks before that she was right along side me shoveling dirt back into the trench in our backyard tht I dug for a new sprinkler system.

So using tools is sexy - but when we work together I feel so connected.
