Beautius

We purchased an RV. Upon entering for the first time, Shaylee and Emmie both said, "Beautius," and hence, the name. Eric and I like the nickname Butte, but Emmie does not.

Ironman - The Real Diehl

Doggie Diner

Shaylee and Emmie opened up a restaurant. Mom's favorite menu names were Totally Not Pee (Lemonade) and Compost (Green Pea Rotini with Spinach Pesto).

 

Lucky Ducks

Whistle While You Work

Mom helped to build a pergola and spent a week sheet rocking a basement in exchange for Winter renovation credits with Mike. For the record, the pergola later withstood the derecho!

Grandpa in CR = Banana Split

How do monkeys get down the stairs?

They slide down the banana-ster.

The Precursor

Mitch and his friend were sitting on his back porch when this happened and they said the sound it made was unbelievable. Little did we all know what was to come.....luckily, I had CHARLIE WOODCHUCK on speed dial in my phone prior to the Derecho.
