Memorial Day Weekend

We enjoyed our Sunday evening with good friends...

yummy food, and going for a swim!

Thank you, Smith Family for inviting us to your home...

and for the wonderful fellowship!

Last June we had the honor of witnessing the return of a "Fallen Solider" with an escort of hundreds of Freedom Riders. This was a perfect opportunity to talk to our boys about the true cost of freedom. They had lots of questions and afterwards they were pretty much quiet the rest of our drive to Six Flags. We hung our American Flag on our tree today to honor the men and women who fought for our country and freedom. Thank you!

Hope you all enjoyed your Memorial Holiday weekend!

Our Garden...

Has grown so much since my last update on it. The picture above is just some of our Squash and Cucumbers. This is our first year to plant and we are very pleased that we have not yet killed our fruits & veggies. Actually...it has grown very large and we have had to replant some of the tomatoes... because we planted them too close together. (Thanks to Grace's help with the seeds on planting day) ;)

I took this picture on Friday of our very first Squash...almost ready. And...by today it was ready to pick. Yay! We are a sad sight to see, taking pictures of our vegetables...and hearing us say..."oh how cute - it's so pretty." Happy Gardening!

The one who works his land will be satisfied with food, but whoever chases daydreams will have his fill of poverty. Proverbs 28:19

Final Game of The Season

Caden hitting, scoring and tagging players out has been the way he has played these past several games. Last night Caden had a runner coming to third, he had the ball and was racing him to the base...neither child slowing down...both boys hit and fell to the ground. Caden on top still holding the ball in glove! The Ump calls...OUT! The runner walks away limping, Caden was okay, just a little shaken up. Other parents telling us..."he needs to play football!" I guess so...he did this one time last year in T-ball. His Nenaw asking me..."did you get a picture?!" Of course not...because that one would have been a good one! Caden has really enjoyed playing ball and he is sad that the season has come to an end. We love watching him play, but we will not miss the 3 game a week schedule. Until next year... ;)

Day after day I was there, with my joyful applause... Proverbs 8:31

What a Mess...

my little girl got herself into last weekend. When Papaw came over to help Jeff with the roofing project... The kids were running around playing...or watching Daddy and Papaw working. Grace was having a blast playing on Papaw's tractor trailer. We all thought nothing of it. Until...

(She's just a little ticklish) ;)

It was time to wash up for nap. As I'm washing her (legs and arms!) I notice that she's not coming clean. I said... "Girl what in the world did you get into?!" This was not dirt I was seeing on my daughter...this looks like tar!...that soap, water and alcohol will not touch. I then tell one of the boys (can't remember which) to go get your daddy! I need his help getting this stuff off of her. About a minute later the boys walk in with this tub of grease looking stuff..saying Papaw said to use this...this will get it off! Papaw was right, this greasy "Gojo" stuff was a lifesaver!
