Missing Family

We had a great time with my sister and her boyfriend Chase. As you can see we played pretty hard. B is out cold. We took all of B's old stuff (cradle, clothes and many other baby things) to Tonya. She is due to have my nephew two days after B's 1st birthday. She is going to be a great mom. Chase will make a great dad also. They were very patient with my kiddos messing up their beautiful home.
Here is B in his seat. He did not like it too much by hour 16 of our trip home.
Thank you technology. Charlie was great on the trip. She had a MP3 player with 12 books on tape, she had a DVD player w/ an assortment of movies. She had a back pack with books, notebook, and crayons. She also had a leapster. She was so good on the trip.
I really hate that I only see my family once or twice a year. Here is me with my sister and my mom. We had a great visit. I just wish that they lived closer.

Brantley Lane

I figured that I needed to put a video of B up. We are just playing with him. I could listen to th is laugh forever.

Fireman

At first I am watching the wrong girl. When she turns towards me and I realize I find Charlie. She is so distracted by the "smoke" that she can't even think about dancing. The last part of this just cracks me up. Listen carefully and see if it will make you laugh too?

Candy man

Charlie is the one on the far right. She did so great until she got distracted by her lollipop. Her recital was Saturday the 30th. This was rehearsal Friday night.

My scrapbook room

This is Dusty's Dad Ben, he is the greatest. They came over Memorial Day and worked for a little while. They got the last of the insulation up and started on the ceiling.
Linda, his mom, also helps. Charlie just loves having them over.

Here is my fantastic hubby. He is adding screws to the ceiling.

They worked a little bit on Saturday too. I have half a ceiling up and one wall of sheet rock. We will get another work day when we get back from my mom's in Florida. We are hoping that it will be finished by my birthday. I am just happy to see that we are able to work on it again.

Flowers for Mom

I have pretty bad allergies. Most flowers and trees make me sneeze. Charlie has always been told to leave the flowers growing for others to enjoy instead of picking them for me b/c they make me sneeze. The few times she has brought me a weed (flower) or two I have ended up sneezing and we have to take them out of the house. Monday morning Charlie, Brantley and I went for a walk when we woke up and enjoyed God's beautiful wild flowers. Every time Charlie smells a flower this is what happens. It just makes me laugh.

Red Rock

I love going camping. I hate the bugs and the walk to the bathroom. I hate it when the air mattress gets a hole in it but I love going camping. I think it has something to do with getting to bed early, hearing nature, just enjoying family. Yeah, it's that...getting to spend time with just the family we are just enjoying each other.

We had smores' went climbing on this great tree. We also got snowcones from the snack shack. Brantley loved it. He kept trying to grab the cup. Charlie loved roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. We love going down to Red Rock.
