A Good Day~

Abbey and Haley squeezing in as much as they could together.

Jacob whacking away at Uncle Fred with a very loud pirate sword. By the end of the day, Fred was begging for mercy :)

Intermission in the baseball game~ Karly, Jackson and Jordan
The three beautiful girlies~

Karly and Abbey tried to smuggle Haley into the back seat when they were getting ready to leave. They weren't ready to part.

If only we could have more time, more visits and more fun. We had a really good day together and I'm thankful for the time we did have.

Fred, Jody, Dell and I went for coffee the next morning and had more great fellowship. We'll always cherish those times together and look forward to more down the road.

And the Order Went...

.... Jackson the mixer, Haley the chopper, Jordan the flipper and last but most important, Jacob the taster.....

The Kitchen Help

When we were in Southport, we got these apron sets at the dollar store. After arriving home I put off going to the store for a few days. These are pics from one of our "make whatcha got" suppers~ Peach pancakes. We had fun , needless to say , but we ate a little later than normal. (I'm gonna go out on a limb and say its b/c we had too many chefs in the kitchen:)
There's never a dull moment in our household! ( just the way I like it!)

The First Rain

The first rain after months of not seeing any, brought great excitement (and a quiet house)

on Monday. The kids played outside in the torrential downpour and we could hear them from inside laughing, shouting and a chorus of "Watch this guys!"

I used to love playing in the rain when I was a kid and if I hadn't been in the middle of several things, I would've joined them. Next time I will.
