My Little CowGirl!!!

Yesterday I took the little ones to the SprayGround in Gainesville. I thought Andrew would be the one afraid of the water, like he usually is, and Alyssa would just jump right in. But much to my surprise it was quite the opposite. Alyssa screamed in terror for much of the day and Andrew just ran around in circles going from one fountain to another with the greatest smile on his face. The other three children in the photos are my friend Krista's kids.

Tomorrow is my Dad's birthday! Happy Birthday Daddy!! Hope you have a wonderful day. Here are a few photos for viewing:)

I love you Dad!!xoxoxoxo

So I was on my usual evening walk last night and stumbled (literally) on some white wooden horizontal blinds that one of my neighbors was throwing away. As I quickly rushed back to my house all I could think about was why anyone would just throw perfectly good blinds away, especially when they cost about $36.00 a piece. Finally, as I jumped into my vehicle and sped out of my driveway and through the subdivision to get back to those blinds, it occurred to me. They were throwing those blinds out for me. So, to anyone else out there who possibly needs to get rid of anything that has some value, before you decide to give your "junk" to a place like Goodwill where people who are in need can buy it for an astronomical amount, before you think about having a garage sale where you will probably try selling it for more than you bought it for, before you even begin to call your friends to see if they might want your hand-me-downs, PLEASE just leave it out at the street curb. If it's not gone by 9:00pm eastern time, then go ahead and take the before mentioned steps in getting rid of it. Thank you to all:)

Alyssa's Crazy Time

Someone gave Alyssa some icing...this is the result.

BathTime!!!!

Bath Time in our house is really "swimming time". Andrew and Alyssa love taking their baths together. These are typical pictures of how kids play so well in the bath. However, I just can't resist baby bottoms and bubbles...the two together are just so photographic. Alyssa loves to splash and Andrew hates it..."It's not funny Lyssa" says Andrew...:)

Kittens

It's been a little hectic in the house lately. Our "Kitty-Kitty" had kittens about four weeks ago. This past week one of the kittens passed away. So I figured I would use this post as a tribute to the little fella. The other two kittens are doing just fine and Dale and I have decided to keep them instead of give them away. (The dark gray one is the little one that passed.)
