Crickets and Chocolate?

Apparently crickets like the smell of Chocolate,
Matthew had on his chocolate dyed shirt and
since it was new it still had the smell to it of
chocolate. Apparently the cricket really liked it.
It stayed on him for quite a while. Matthew
loved it! We got this shirt for him because when
he eats chocolate anything this is how his
mouth looks!

Could this really be July?

Well the weekend was pretty near perfect for us.
The weather was beautiful! I mean I would
have never thought we could have days like this
in South Carolina in late July. No HUMIDITY!
We spent all of Saturday out doors. That
evening the kids and David camped out, but earlier
we did the usual campfire activities such as
winnie roasting and smore making. We really had
a great weekend!

Camp site!

Umm Hot dogs!

Ummmmmmmmmmm Smores!

They are really roughing it, huh!

PRAY FOR LIBBY CLAIRE

Well this is my last post of the day. I have been sad
and prayerful for one of our closest friends all this weekend.
A friend that I have had for 10 years thru a total
of 6 pregnancy's (thankfully 4 were hers!) and many houses.
(They have moved a Lot!) there youngest daughter fell
from a loft in her parents beach house onto a hard tile
floor head first. She is still in the world but there are
still critical hurdles to make it thru. The first 72 hours they
were told are the most critical and so far 48 down. She
still has a lot of brain swelling and they have now had to
put her into a medically induced coma. Please pray for her because I
know right now that is what her family has to hold on to
since they can't hold onto her. All the prayers hopefully
will lift her up and heal her back to her normal beautiful self.
Shes a little angel on earth and we just aren't ready for her
to not be here. Thanks to all!

Boys! What want they touch or pick up?

Matthew and David recently found a turtle in
the road and of course Matthew wanted to keep
him in the bucket you see him in below, but we
talked him into letting him go. He was quite excited
and now of course he is on the look out for the next
one to show up.

Yes, Tweetsie Again!

Yes, we went to Tweetsie again, for the Fourth
of July. We had a great day!! The weather was
perfect and the fire works that night were
beautiful. We had a late night and a full day so
we were all glad to get home. The kids enjoyed
the rides and gem mining as usual, and of course
two trips on the train! Hope all of you had a great
day what or wherever you celebrated!


Matthew also panned for GOLD!

Catfish for TEN days!!

If we never left home and it never rained I could
probably have a dog. Catfish is a good dog, but he
is a dog, and all that comes with that was too much
for me. The extra vaccuming , and the bathing, and
the opps clean ups(luckily David got that one), it
was too much like having a third child. I do well
to keep up with my two kids and one husband. He
was fun to have for a limited time, but I don't think
we will ever do the indoor dog thing!

Fathers Day

We are a little behind with our pictures and postings,
but David had a nice Fathers Day and the kids enjoyed
a night out catching fire flies. We did some house sitting
for my parents while they were on vacation and
David seem to fit right into the idea of a recliner and
TV with cable.

YEAH FIREFILIES!
