Stuff-Update

Several weeks have past and we are getting settled in and enjoying the country life. During this short period of time, we have watched deer come in and out of our backyard. Those of you who know my husband can imagine what he is thinking. Well he has said he will not hunt in our backyard. The kids enjoy fishing and swimming. I asked John David one day what are we going to do without a YMCA? He said we do not need a pool, we have the lake. I have to say, because of the pool hours here for lap swim are crazy, I have swam 1 time in the lake and plan to swim more.
July 11-12
The weekend of the Sunfish Tri we were so excited because we had company coming, Matt and Mandi Calvert and Slade, Julie and Aiden Fancher. We all had such a good time visiting and completing the triathlon. Everyone finished and did very good. Pictures can be seen on the Calverts blog.
On Sunday we got together with my family for the birthdays in the months of May-August. It was nice being with them for the day. we all do not see each other enough, but we all do talk on a regular basis.

Coming up this weekend will be the Heart o'Dixie tri, July 26. It one of the hottest races of the year. My family will be in Purvis for the weekend and I am going to the Fanchers for the night.

Fishing

The Lake

J- taking a break from fishing and relaxing. This is where I hangout while they are fishing.

Holt got a new fishing pole and tackle box from aunt Lanette. He carries that thing everywhere.

This is a picture of the lake. Usually 2-3 mornings of the week, the kids want to go fishing. So we head to the lake. It is so nice to walk out of our backdoor and be at a place that my kids and my husband love. The kids and John also fish almost every afternoon till dark. The kids also like to swim in the lake.

July 4th

Fireworks shooting on the 4th of July

On the 4th of July we had a cook out that afternoon with several friends. Our neighbors, John Sonya and Anna Catherine, and Rochesters, (neighbors) and Sonya, Nicole and Jacob Skelton from Jackson. This is our neighbor, Anna Catherine. She and John David spend a lot of time together playing and swimming in the lake. Anyway the 4th was a lot of fun having friends over.

2 weeks later

All is good in Lauderdale County. On Sunday it was nice seeing a familiar face at Church. Jeremy and Sha Jackson (originally from the area) were at Church with her dad. We have found a church we enjoy and a Sunday school class. The service is more traditional than Comtempory.

John is enjoying his work. He is not to busy at this time but I am sure it will not be long before he will be very busy.

We have had a few lunch dates with Jennifer Jones. John David has a 7 yr old girl (Anna Catherine) that lives beside us and they play every afternoon.

Well nothing new at this time. Hopefully next week I can catch up with everything.
