Oh..DEER


Ok, if you read my last blog you know I was suppose to not be on here right now and I'm suppose to be cleaning and getting ready for our trip BUT... Samantha called to me and said "Mom a deer in the yard" and so I came running with my camera. It's not odd to see them around here but we haven't seen one in the yard in a couple years. Bill will be sooo happy :)

Then again, maybe they are eating our corn out back...oh no!

Anyway, here's the photo (click on it to enlarge it for closer inspection :) ....

Excitement in the air!!!!

This house is a buzz with excitement as we count down the minutes, hours and milliseconds (is that a word?) until we leave for vacation tomorrow!!
We are headed to NC first to see my oh so wonderful parents and here a wonderful singer on Sunday night (Squire Parsons- he will be there for the Nazarene Camp Meeting), from there we will go to the sunny state of Florida to visit our very favorite hotel/suites and spend 3 days there, from there we travel upstate just a bit to visit with mom-in-law for 2 days and have her home-made country fried steak and gravy! That alone is worth the whole trip to most of my family!
If I can ever get off this blog today my agenda is to: get the laundry done so we can stay clothed for our trip, buy extra dog and cat food so the neighbors can keep them alive for us while we are away, pack 5 suitcases for 9 days of travel, fill the gas tank up (that is the scariest part of the day!!!) and clean this house so we don't have to come back to any messes! The best part is I have 3 little girl helpers, so we're planning to turn off the tv, shut off the computer and turn up the stereo and jam out while we get after all these dustbunnies and such.
OK, that's our plans for today- I know not so fun, but the trip will make it all worthwhile.. I'll make sure I get LOTS of photos to share when we get back.

Blueberry photos


Just beginning ...
Katelynn said "look at this whopper mom"
Aren't they pretty?
I peeked in on these little ones...
Aren't they just little helpless things?..I'm sure momma was close by








It was a fun day out with family.

BLUEBERRIES

Blueberry picking is a great family activity to do. We have friends here who have a huge orchard of them and we go once a year and pick as much as we want and can use. We went last weekend and since then I've eaten blueberries every day, in pancakes, in ice cream, on cheesecake... oh it's great to have an excuse to have to eat cheesecake and ice cream :)... you know... "we've got to have something to put blueberries on, so they don't go bad"....


Anyway, we went and also took one of Rachel's friends who was spending the night with us. Here are some fun photos of our trip- also we heard a bunch of ruckus by some bushes and went to check it out and found 4 little baby birds in a nest- of course me with my camera, had to impose on them for just a moment while I took a couple pictures. I don't think they minded but they did look awfully hungry, but oh soooo cute!!

OK IT WON'T LET ME POST THE PHOTOS. HAS ANYONE HAD THIS PROBLEM? WHEN I HIT THE ADD IMAGE ICON ON TOP IT GIVES ME AN ERROR CODE THAT SAYS THIS:

Eeenie, Meenie, Minie, Mo....

Katelynn loves to sit in my lap (THANK GOD- because it won't last!), anyway during our lap time last week we were talking about our toes and thought it would be a cute photo to have all our tootsies on camera as a reminder of that special time. Here's "toe" a fun time in your family!!

Hard day at work??



My little sweet pea came to me this morning and said she was going to work! She had her fire helmet on and her police badge on her shirt. She said she was going to her morning job at the fire station and then her night job at the police station. She proceeded to go around the house arresting her sisters and then even her mom... can you believe it? Arrest me? For what? Feeding and bathing and nurturing this beautiful little soul ?!! Ha ha! Anyway..just thought I'd share with ya.
