Fall

No pictures today. Instead all of my pictures are memories. Today, when I started my day the weather was a little overcast, cool...you can feel that fall is on its way. After getting the kids off to school I came home cracked some windows, sprayed some clorox to get some cleaning done and was transported back in time. I was a little girl again, in my room playing. My mom is on her usual cleaning spree (hence the clorox smell) I can hear the vacuum cleaner going next door in the den and the tv is on to All My Children. I am sure that if I rounded the corner I would probably see the ironing board set up with a laundry basket beside it...In my room I see my cream colored four poster bed that I think every little girl my age had, it has perfectly placed lacy pillows against the headboard. I can hear the helicopters from Ft Rucker flying overhead...

Memories are such a precious thing that God has given us. My mom passed away 13 years ago but thanks to my memories I can go back and remember her and so many others that we have lost along the way. Today I am thankful, thankful for my many blessings, thankful for my memories.

Happy 4th of July!!

Happy and dirty baby!

Yum...homemade ice cream!


Caleb was decorating his bike for the children's parade


Clay Jr. decorated Emma James' bike for the parade and pushed her in it.


Some of the best friends a girl could ask for!


Emma James didn't really care about the fireworks, she just wanted to go to sleep!


Most of the kids in the pool watching the fireworks

A camping we will go...

We went to Deerlick for Memorial Day weekend and had a great time with lots of friends, food and just plain fun...

A hard day of camping for Sarah Elizabeth...


Emma James loved the watermelon...



These two pictures include Caleb who was very hard to photograph because he was gone on his bike constantly!!


Again, she was asleep! She wore herself out completely!


Emma James again with watermelon but a different camping trip...

All Stars!

Caleb made All Stars!! We are so proud of our little baseball player!

Shark Tooth Creek

The last field trip of 2nd grade for Caleb was to Shark Tooth Creek. I was able to go on this one and we had a wonderful time! Although I can't believe I was able to walk through that water and not freak out! Caleb had no problem with it, I guess that's a boy for ya...
