    I got my wife a certificate for a full detail for her birthday in March.
    Finally decided we should get it done before the certificate expired :eek:

    Looks like you're getting more sun than we are right now. It's been quite rainy these past few days.......

    You know what they say Marshall, best way to guarantee rain is to wash your car.
    Since we washed all of the vehicles it's now rained for two days straight :LOL::16suspect:

    And, Jeremiah, your oldest has had a growth spurt, hasn't he? Until tonight's trolley and car wash photos, he was just a bit taller than his brother; now he looks to be almost a head taller.

    You are right Andrew. He's definitely had a growth spurt. He's taller than his Mother now. She said the other day "won't be long and he'll be taller than you!"

    I had my first big growth spurt the Summer I turned ten, then my next big one the end of that year (1975). By the time I finished fifth grade that school year, I was 6'1".

    Dang!
    Nathaniel is going to be 12 next week, so I guess it was about time. He's gotten to the point where he can see over the steering wheel and touch the pedals. His Mom keeps saying he's going to drive the Freestyle when he turns 16. He keeps correcting her saying "No Mom, I'm going to be driving the Fury" :LOL:

    I have a feeling they like to wash those cars, that it wasn't some kind of punishment. Mom used to have cleaning the car as a form of punishment if we did something inappropriate but I used to like it too.

    The following might happen to be distant relatives of theirs

    You're right Jennifer, they do like to wash the cars. They enjoy tasks like this and they also know that the likelihood of shenanigans taking place is high as well.

    My 11 year old is 5'4" now and loves working on cars too. Must be something in the water!

    While he lusts after a couple of my cars, I solved that problem but getting him a car of his own. He has a '91 Camaro RS that we're fixing up for him. He knows he has a lot of work to do on it before he turns 16, but he's excited to get it done.
