			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.gearlog.com/images/11247.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 135px; height: 175px;" src="http://www.gearlog.com/images/11247.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>For those of you unfamiliar with the awesomeness that is Bob Ross, you might want to go <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Ross">here</a> to learn more about him.  I <span style="font-size:85%;">(Shelly) </span>have a t-shirt with him on it that I wear a lot around the house and the boys love it.  They usually ask me questions about Bob Ross and sometimes even tell him hi.  One night this week we showed them <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6859685789527792160&amp;q=Bob+Ross&amp;total=1392&amp;start=0&amp;num=10&amp;so=0&amp;type=search&amp;plindex=8">a video</a> of Bob Ross online and they, Will in particular, were mesmerized.</p>
<p>So the other night I broke out our possibility box and decided we could do Bob Ross painting.  Unfortunately I failed to take pictures of their artwork before putting them in an envelope to send to Pop (Eric&#8217;s grandpa) who also is a Bob Ross fan.  However, once Walker lost interest in painting (about five minutes into it) Will and I turned to each other as canvasses.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;">It started with me painting one fan on Will&#8217;s face:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bennionland.bennionz.com/uploaded_images/IMG_7297-733321.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bennionland.bennionz.com/uploaded_images/IMG_7297-733279.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">and then another:</div>
<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bennionland.bennionz.com/uploaded_images/IMG_7296-733166.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 168px; height: 126px;" src="http://bennionland.bennionz.com/uploaded_images/IMG_7296-733152.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<div style="text-align: center;">and then a goatee:</div>
<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bennionland.bennionz.com/uploaded_images/IMG_7305-782846.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bennionland.bennionz.com/uploaded_images/IMG_7305-782835.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<div style="text-align: center;">He retaliated by painting my entire face.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bennionland.bennionz.com/uploaded_images/IMG_7289-756094.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bennionland.bennionz.com/uploaded_images/IMG_7289-756080.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">(he told me I had to hold still and not smile)</span></div>
<p>
<div style="text-align: center;">A view of him as he&#8217;s painting my face &#8211; so intense:</div>
<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bennionland.bennionz.com/uploaded_images/IMG_7293-756154.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bennionland.bennionz.com/uploaded_images/IMG_7293-756139.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<div style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;m going to ignore any possible symbolism from the red slash on my throat.<br />He loves me &#8211; right?</div>
<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bennionland.bennionz.com/uploaded_images/IMG_7300-782977.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 173px; height: 130px;" src="http://bennionland.bennionz.com/uploaded_images/IMG_7300-782943.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a>
<div style="text-align: center;">Voila!  An artist is born!!</div>
<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bennionland.bennionz.com/uploaded_images/IMG_7304-783017.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 179px; height: 133px;" src="http://bennionland.bennionz.com/uploaded_images/IMG_7304-783004.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />We did try to paint Walker&#8217;s face &#8211; but he wasn&#8217;t as fond of it.  I got 1/2 way through a balloon and he was out of his chair.  He came back for a minute and I was able to get a red &#8216;T&#8217; (for trouble) in Scarlet Letter form.  That was about it for him though!</p>

<p>Happy Father&#8217;s Day to:</p>
<p>Eric &#8211; I am so glad that we get to experience this journey of parenthood together.  Our boys love you, as do I.</p>
<p>Grandpa Karl, Papa Paul- the two best grandfathers two boys could ever have!</p>
<p>GreatGrandpa Ted &#8216;Pop&#8217; and Robert &#8216;Bob&#8217; &#8211; who act like the world exists if only for Will and Walker</p>
<p>And all of the wonderful other men who are part of the lives of William and Walker.</p>
<p>With appreciation,<br />Shelly</p>
<p>Here is a picture from our Father&#8217;s Day celebration in So. Cal with the Ekstrand clan.<br /><img src="http://bennionz.com/BennionsBoysLJPics/June2006/palmdesert060601.JPG" /></p>
