Miss Shelby

I don't ever know what is going to come out of that girl's mouth..
Tonight was:
I'm so dotty! (in response to her forgetting something)
Mom, what else does the devil do to make you do bad stuff? (where shall I start?!?)

UPDATE:
one more: As I give her the flower I've cut out of felt, she looks at the flower and back at me, asking "is that the best you can do?" in typical Shelby fashion!

Bryce-eyed view

As I'm downloading pics from my camera, I realize the a large majority of the 200+ pics were taken by Bryce. Here are a few of my favorites....

His favorite PapaGma's table ( I know his head has met this one a few times)

All smiles!

Is this how Uncle Jim looks to Bryce all the time?!?

Self portrait (he gets this from dad)

Shelby's masterpiece (Grandma's facepaint)

He climbed up into the upstairs sink to get this one, wonder where I was!

Cow Appreciation Day

Hi all-I realize that the days are going quicker than I can keep up. So, I'll just start from here:)
Garry's friends (3 of em) spent the night with us. This morning, when they woke up, I asked them which they would prefer, Chick-fil-A or hot dogs, the only stipulation was that if we went to Chick-fil-a they would have to dress up as cows (National Cow Day). Although not quite sure I was in my right mind (as normal) they all agreed. So each proceeded to make their own cow outfits. Then me and my herd mosied down to Chick-Fil-A and had a great FREE lunch out!

By the way...if you were wondering, of course I dressed up too!

Boys and their toys

My cousins Mick and Melanie are down from Tennessee on vacation this week. Mick brought his bike, so Mick, my hunny and Kevin went riding together. So while us girls and kids were at the beach, the boys toured the seaside. According to Mick, Kevin drives too slow (no you don't), but they I think they did have a wonderful ride!

VBS

Well, the week is over, and the kids had a great time at VBS. I enjoyed it because they served dinner EVERY night! And, every night, it was good! We're sure to put it on our list for next year, that's for sure.
Tonight it was family night, so Aidan and I followed the kids from class to class. In typical one year old fashion, Aidan's attention span was very short. Thankfully each section for the kids were divided into about 15 min sections. One in particular, I thought would keep his attention. Boy, was I wrong! We walked into a class, where the puppet theater was set up. The first puppet, a girl; sang a cheerful little song, which Aidan liked. Then, as I'm looking around the room, Aidan lets out a horrible scream. It was a scream of terror, one I usually don't hear from the boy. I looked toward the puppets, and there are three florescent green puppets ready to start the show. Aidan screamed some more, so we removed ourselves from the room. So, if 30 years later, Aidan has an aversion to puppets, that's why! After that, all went well. The kids and I were sorry to see it end. (Now I have to cook!)
Next week is sure to be just as busy, as the kids are taking swim lessons. Hopefully by the end of the summer, Shelby and Bryce will be out there without the floaties. Still no camera, sorry!
GARRY, if you're out there, COME HOME! We miss you!!!!

Thank you, Aunt Tanny!

Shelby got her fuzzy flipflops, and they fit perfect. She loves them! Watch for pics.....
Thank you!

On the go...

Here I am, at least for a moment. We are heading out to VBS in about 15 min so I thought I would give a little update. No pics, sorry. My camera is down at Mom's house, where I left it this weekend.
Last weekend we headed down south for Jen's graduation and baptism (more on that later). Sunday we headed back home to bring a very impatient dad his baby boy. I don't think Kevin let the boy go after he got him back. That's what you get for havin' a job, Kevin!
Garry is up in Waldo with his cousins. We don't hear from him unless we call him, so I guess he's having a good time?!
All well on the homefront, I have much to say, but later:)
