Class of 1993 BHS Reunion

Last night was Jeff's 15 year class reunion, one of the girls he graduated with had it at her house. About 25 people came that graduated together, then you count the spouses so there were about 35 people. It was fun. Jill and I always give them a hard time because we can not believe we, as Mounties, go to a Tiger function. It is all in good fun. They made us put on name tags and they had a tiger head on them and we wanted to draw a little blue mountie head next to it. While the guys caught up with thier classmates we talked with one of their wives and it turned out we worked with her at the home office. What a small world it is. It was fun meeting the people that Jeff went to school with and hear stories of what they did, eventhough I already know most of the stories.

Busy as Bees

It has been a busy last two weeks. We have finished up baseball and Lindsey went to Vacation Bible school all last week. Lindsey had her last game yesterday. It was so hot. Jeff sat out and watched while Kaylin and I sat in the car with the AC running. It was just to hot to get her out for any length of time. I guess you can say that the Dog Days of Summer are finally upon us. Just be thankful for all the rain that we have had or it could be worse.
VBS started last Monday and ran through Friday. Lindsey's friend came on Tuesday and then she invited Cadyn to come on Thursday and Friday. Friday night all the groups sang a special song and then it was outside for fun, food and games. I would have taken some pictures but Jeff and I were to busy chasing after Kaylin. Yes, she just thinks she can go anywhere now that she is walking. She is so much fun.
We only have 4 more weeks until school starts. Lindsey is getting excited about being in the 1st grade.

Happy 4th of July

Hope everyone had a happy 4th and a safe one. We did not do much. We tried to go and watch fireworks but Lindsey does not like the noise so it was not much fun. She likes to look at them, but if they were just silent fireworks, she would like it much better. Maybe next year. Kaylin did not seem to mind. That was about the only time she was still, when the fireworks were going off.




Yesterday Jill and Dusty invited us to go out to the lake on their boat. It was a fun day. Kaylin seemed to like the water, as long as I was holding her. She would splash a little bit. Lindsey swam her little heart out. Debbie and Donnie Beard meet us out there with their pontoon so while people were tubing with th Meredith's boat, the rest of us were on the "Mother Ship", that is was we called it.

The rest of us on the Pontoon. It was nice, because Kaylin could walk around a little bit better. And of course she had to have her nigh night.

Our new house on wheels

We have traded our little pop up camper for a travel trailer with a slide out. The pop up was too small for all 4 of us and now we have more room than we know what to do with.

Old Camper




NEW CAMPER


View from front of camper. Our bed is at the front. The door you see is to the bathroom. To the left of that are twin bunk beds. Where Lindsey will sleep. Then you see the fridge, stove and oven and then the sink. On the right is the table and in front of that is a couch.


This view is from the bathroom door. See a little bit of the couch on the left and our bed behind the entertainment center. It will be nice when we go camping now, we won't be stepping on each other.

View from where the door is. It has an awning but we did not roll it out.

Padres Picture


This is Lindsey in her ball uniform. She plays for the Padres. She has done very well this year. She can hit that ball better than some of the boys on her team. I think she might play softball next year. She says she wants to play with girls instead of boys. Hopefully she will be as good as her momma was. And I mean WAS. Oh yeah, yes that is her black eye, the Saturday after the golf club accident the night before.

Get along Littl' Cow Girl (s)

On Father's Day we had been at Mamaw and Pappaw house (Russ and Janet) and Lindsey begged to get the horses out. That made her day. She loves horses. Lindsey rode with Janet and Brittany for a little bit and then they came up in the yard to ride. I put Kaylin on the horse with Lindsey and Kaylin did not want to get off. So Mamaw took her for rides around the yard. Everytime they would get close to us sitting down Kaylin would let out a little squeal because she did not want to get off. Looks like we may have a horse in our field in the future, if the girls can con there Daddy into it.


Happy 1st Birthday Party

Sorry I have not posted in a while. We have been busy and I guess you could say I have been lazy also.
Here are some pics from Kaylin birthday party. She had fun opening up her gifts and loved the cake.

This was her birthday cake, actually it is made of cupcakes. There is a lady I work with that makes any cake that you would want and in any shape, style, color. She really does a good job.

This was her smash cake. It turned out so cute. It is chocolate on the inside.


First Attack!!!!

And the cake has been offically smashed. She got into really fast and did not stop until half the cake was gone. Yes, she ate a lot of it but a lot went on her. After she was done I immediately took her to the bathroom. The rest of the afternoon, I have never see a kid so high on sugar before. She was going 90 to nothing. It was a fun day. Jeff had brought home a blow up bouncer from his work for all the kids to play on, it was a hit. I think we will use for all parties for as long as we can. I wish I could post those pics that Jill sent me but I can not get them open from the e-mail. If you want to see some you can click on her blog link to the right and see those pictures. She also has some of Kaylin opening up gifts.
