All work and no play is okay with Cohen!

This post is mostly dedicated to Jeff, since he made the comment last week that he wanted some video proof  of Cohen begging to mow grass so that when it becomes the chore that he hates when he's a teenager, we can remind him how much he used to love it!  Although I've been posting pictures of Cohen riding the lawn mower with Jeff since he was five months old, it has recently become more of an obsession for him.  He used to only ask to ride the "tractor" when he saw Jeff mowing out in the yard...now he requests to "mow grass" on an almost daily basis.

Cohen and his true love!


It's official...my baby is a redneck!

I'll race you!

Cohen took the lead!


You might be a redneck if... (P.S. I dare you not to laugh at the minor accident Cohen has)!


Consequences of tailgating...a mouth full of grass!


Git r Done!


While his passion has always been mowing, Cohen is now branching out to other yardwork as well (pun intended)!!  Apparently some of these tree limbs were interfering with Jeff's ability to mow effectively so they had to be cut down.  Luckily he had me there to supervise to make sure that he didn't butcher these poor trees that the weather has been really hard on in the last few years.  We are down from three to two, or technically one and a half since they are both struggling.  Lucky for Jeff, he also had this muscle man to help him drag the limbs over to the riverbank!







He may not be the type of child prodigy that can read at age 2 and we haven't had much success with the alphabet or counting yet, but you can be sure he can name almost every power tool in the garage!  My sweet little redneck boy!




He's not afraid of a chainsaw, but he was not impressed with this tiny frog that momma rescued from the lawnmower!





Cohen has a bright future ahead that involves owning spotless, shiny vehicles.  He has a dad and a grandpa who will teach him their expert techniques.  There are not too many things that Jeff is very particular about, but I gave up washing cars with him before we even got married...I definately do not meet his high standards for proper car washing!  Fortunately, Cohen will be trained from a young age and he will get plenty of practice since I'm pretty sure his grandpa washes vehicles multiple times per week.  Here is one of Cohen's training sessions with his daddy:

"If there's bubbles involved, I'm in!"


"I'll just check them out for you..."

Good form son!


The funny part that I couldn't get on video is that the water was sometimes so strong that it knocked him down when he started spraying!!



Prouse men take pride in their rides!





This happened while daddy took a bathroom break...proper carwashing is way more serious than this!

Try to look past the really bad haircut we got yesterday!




Then the ice cream truck came by and daddy lost his little helper!



"Looking good dad...looking real good."



I don't know about his carwashing skills, but his shirt staining skills are amazing!
Not too sad about getting hosed off!
