Too Busy to Blog

Lately, I've just been too busy to get on the computer. Anytime we have warm, sunny weather, my yards are calling me. I can't stand to be inside when it's nice outside. I have a feeling as the weather gets warmer, I'll be spending much more of my time outdoors (as long as Andrew will allow me, that is). I guess a 6 1/2 month old and a 3 1/2 year old may have a little something to do with me not having time to blog lately too!


Here's some pictures of the last several weeks.


Ben with his 10 lb. bass he caught last week!



What in the world are these two up to??


Caught Ty in the bed with these on one night. They help him go to sleep!

My happy baby!

Ty all ready for Nerd Night at AWANA!

Ty and Pops reading stories


Ty in his new personalized shirt I found online.


Curly sporting his new "A is for Andrew" romper.


This is Ty "getting ready to go camping." I found this heaping mound of clothes on his bed one night this week. He (and George) had cleared everything out of his closet for this "camping trip." By the way, I wonder when this kid George ever goes home:) After I took a couple pictures, I told them to get everything back in that closet, that I did not want to see this mess again. Ty said, "I pwomise I won't do this again, Mama. I pwomise, okay?" I had to walk out on that one and say, "You better not Ty Clark." Man, I need to be writing this stuff in his baby book!



More pictures of the big bass!

For Josh and Lyndsay

Our Sunday school class will be meeting at David's this Friday night in honor of Josh and Lyndsay Elliott. They will only be living in Andalusia for 2 more weeks and will more than likely be moving to Mobile. We are going to miss them terribly.

We will be meeting at 6:30 to eat supper, and then going back to our house for dessert. I wanted to invite any other couples that are not in our Sunday school class that would love to join us. So, if you would like to join us, just send me a message and that way I'll have a number to tell them when I call and reserve us a spot.

Tubes Again!

Allie is getting tubes again this morning. Say a little prayer for her. Allie, the boys & I will be bringing you a special treat this afternoon! I'm praying everything goes well today!

Hair Gel for a Six Month Old?

Yes, it's true. I went to Rite Aid today and bought some Frizz-Ease for my 6 month old baby!! Is that not the craziest thing anyone's ever heard of?! I'm just not ready to cut this baby's precious curls off yet. But, we've definitely got to get some serious control of it.

In other news, Ty is cleaning his room as we speak, and I just overheard him telling himself he's doing a great job. I wonder who he's heard that from? He and "George" have been extra tight the last two weeks. I'm thinking its because Ben has been away again and he just needs that male figure with him. He and George have done everything together. They played with his kitchen earlier in the week together for almost an hour, and then they both helped me make Kelley's Buttermilk Pie. I had to take a picture of the two of them sitting at the counter snapping their fingers together. Some imagination!!

Also need to wish my sister a belated Happy 36th Birthday. Her big day was Tuesday and we did all get together and eat at my mother and daddy's that night. Can't believe my big sister is now closer to her 40's than her 30's. Can't believe I'll be 32 in a couple of months for that matter!

Ben comes home from North Carolina this Saturday!!!! Woohoo!!!!! I told him after he got home and got settled I might sneak out and take a little retreat to the beach (and take Karen Kingsbury along with me). Okay, maybe just take one or two of her books with me. Wouldn't that be nice? Sitting on the beach with a good book and no interruptions.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

This is Ty with the Buttermilk Pie that we made for Aunt Kelley's birthday. He and George had to help hold the mixer.


This is Ty and "George" snapping their fingers to the Children's Praise CD we were listening to. When Ty told me to watch him snap his fingers, he asked if I saw George too. I asked him where George was and he said, "He's right here beside me!" Like I was a crazy woman or something for not noticing him already. He even turned to the chair beside him and pointed to him.



We're almost crawling! Andrew gets in position and rocks back and forth and then kicks his feet behind him. He just hasn't figured out how to put it all together yet. I don't think it's going to be long. Notice the wild hair. Hence the hair gel!

Up and ready!

Uh oh!

8, 9, & 10! This is Andrew doing his push-ups. He's getting a head start on his physique!
We get in the floor and do our workout each night!

I want to put a little ponytail in that hair so badly, I can't stand it!!

Happy Birthday Amy!

Amy celebrated her 5th birthday today with lots of friends & family at the PHS Playground! The weather turned out nice and she got so many pretty summer outfits! I think all the kids had a really good time. Amy, hope you had a great day on Birthday #5! We love you ~ Uncle Ben, Aunt Mendy, Ty, & Andrew!!
















What would we ever do without sand and dump trucks and backhoes? These kiddos sure do love 'em.
