The State Fair

The kids, Will and I went to the state fair Friday. They had the best time...well I can't lie, we all had a great time. It was a nice day and the kids loved the rides, of course.



This is a picture of Mary-Beth and Lane with their cousin Ian. Shaun, Heather and Ian came to visit this weekend. This is the only pic I got of all three of the kids. They always play so well together.

"Noah" is at it again

For those of you who do not know, Will has found a new hobby. (Like he needs another hobby) He built a boat, for duck hunting, about a year or two ago. Well he decided he needed a smaller boat to put in the back of his truck, when he did not feel like pulling a boat. Soooooo he started on it this past week. Here are the kids helping him paint the base coat on it.
Lane really took it serious and tried to get every little part painted for his daddy.




Lane got just about as much paint on him as he did the boat. It was not an easy task to get all of the paint off of him:)

The kids got a very early Christmas present from all of the grandparents. Our neighbors were moving this week and wanted to sell their swing set. Here is a picture of the kids when they first saw the swing set in our yard. They have always eyed it from afar. They were so excited to be able to get on it.

They have played on it none stop since Saturday. They have even found that they can drape blankets around the fort area to make a little club house. It brings back many childhood memories of my sisters an I playing.
Peek-A-Boo
They love to swing without the swing set rocking back and forth like our other one did.

Thank you Nana, Papa, Memaw, and Grandaddy!!!!!

Here is the children taking advantage of Grandaddy. They finished eating and asked me if they could get down. Well, they both know they usually have to wait until everyone is finished before getting up. They both turn to Grandaddy, who was sitting in the middle of them, and they asked him if they could sit in his lap. Well, he hardly ever tells them no. So, he then said well now how am I going to finish eating. Lane said, "We will feed you". Therefore, they both proceeded to feed Grandaddy. I hope some of the food made it to his mouth.

Fun, Fun, and More Fun

We went for a visit to Kathy and Toby's house this past week. Here is Gretta and Mary-Beth playing with polly pockets. They always have such a great time together.
Here Greyson and Gretta had some fun with some stamps. They found anywhere possilbe to stamp.

Here is Mary-Beth and Addison cooking for us some cookies. We stayed the night at Rachelle and Jefferey's house Friday night. The girls had a reaaly great time. They even surpised us and slept in the same room.

"Lilly the Turtle"

Here is a turtle that will found on his way home. Will nor I know anything about turtles, so if anyone knows what a snapping turtle looks like and if this is one, feel free to let me know! It, of course, hasn't snapped at us yet. The kids are really getting a kick out of it. They named it "Lilly". Well, Mary-Beth named it.

Some of my friends and I went to Mynelle Gardens today. We took our girl's fairy outfits and went crazy with picture taking. Here are a few from my camera (it is not the best but you can get the idea). This place is the best place to go for pictures. Sara will be showing me all of her pics soon.
