Over The Rainbow

Thursday night last week is was raining. The sun was shining and it was misting. I was cooking dinner and Lindsey and Jeff came in to tell me to come out and look. When I first saw it, is was a double rainbow. One rainbow on top of another rainbow. The lower rainbow was really bright. You could see where it ended in the tree line in the field in front of out house. The other end ended behind the house across the road. We tried to get Lindsey to go ask the neighbor if she could go and find the pot of gold. I don't think she believed us.

I AM BACK!!!!!!

Sorry have not posted in a while. We have had computer problems. We could not log on to the internet and then we could not get e-mail anymore. I have never felt so disconnected. It is really sad we have come to depend on computers so much these days. Below I have posted what has been going on. Hope everyone's summer has been a great one. Hope you enjoy catching up with us.

First Day of First Grade

Well, we have started school again. This year we are in 1st grade. Try saying 1st day of 1st grade 5 times real fast. It is a tongue twister. I don't think Lindsey was nervous at all. I was a little scared and excited at the same time. I took Kaylin to daycare first and then we came back to Lindsey's school and went inside to wait for a little bit. I think that helped with the nerves. Just hanging out before she would go to her classroom. So far so good for the first week. We will see once they really get into the full swing of things. I can not believe my baby girl is growing up so fast. She keeps telling me "I know mom, I am in First Grade"

Lindsey with her teacher this year, Mrs. Pannell. She says she really likes her and she says she is really nice.



Jill picked up Lindsey on the first day of school. I just thought she would have fun visiting with Cadyn after the first day. Jill took a picture of them so we can compare at the end of the school year to see how much they change.









New Camper Maiden Voyage

We took the camper out for a week Aug 3 through Aug 9. We went camping with the Meredith Family. It was fun. It was very hot early in the week but by Thursday it turned out to be very nice. It was cool but not cool enough not to still enough swimming. I think Lindsey could have stayed in the water all day and all night. While we camping we decided to take Lindsey and Cadyn to Silver Dollar City on that Wednesday. We left the babies with my mom and Jill's mom. It was a fun day, but by the time it was time to go we were all ready. We camped out at Lost Bridge so Friday night we decided to go to Across the Creek Resturant for a seafood buffet. It was good, and because we did not have to cook anything. They had to roll us out of the resturant because we all ate so much.


Just a few pics from the trip


All of us in the water cooling off




Kaylin did not like her lifejacket very well. Just wish they made better jackets for babies that small. After a while she was ok. We got her in and out of the water acting like she was jumping off the back of the boat. I would put her in the water while Jeff would catch her. She liked that a lot.

Cadyn doing his backward jump






Camryn was our little fish. He would jump in and would start swimming on his own. He did not care. I think he would have swam all over the lake if we would have let him.

One of the days while we were camping the mower people came to mow the grass. I had Kaylin and Camryn in our camper while Jill had to take care of some things in their camper. To keep them occupied they were watch the "tractors" mow. That was right up Camryn's alley. Kaylin liked it too. It was fun, they both just yelled and laughed as loud as they could.

Padres Last Ball game

Saturday July 19th was Lindsey's last baseball game. She had a great game. All the team hit the ball very well. You could tell that they came a long way from the beginning of the season.

The weekend before on July 12th she played Cadyn's team. I know I mentioned it before but she road home with Jeff in the truck and she was worn out. She had spent the night with her Grammy on Friday and her cousin Emma was there also. I think they stayed up all night.


The picture below was taken when they got home. Jeff said she fell asleep before they got out of the parking lot.


Just had to add this

She was sawing some serious ZZZZZ's
