The beach!!!

We finally went to the beach for a weekend. Our family has never been to the beach together. We went to some friends of ours from Louisville MS, Slade, Julie and Aiden.

Holt, Aiden and John David

The boys, JOhn David and Aiden loved to ride the waves on the board.

First day of school

Well, we have one child in real school, kindergarten. He was very excited about going to school. I just can't believe it! I guess we all know what this means, we are getting older! I hope and pray everyday that he will make smart decisions and do the right thing ,yes even for a kindergartener. I would love to shelter him from the world, but I can't. It is in God's hands!

Holt is at it again!!

Well this time he got into the vaseline. We were about to leave to go to the fair and Holt rubbed vaseline in his hair. It took several days before his hair was normal again.

Holt's fun for the day

Holt found fun with the vacuum clearner a few days ago. He had a blast until he put it on his ear and started screaming. He mainly used the vacuum cleaner on his lip.

As you can tell his lip is slightly enlarged!

Special Day for John David

Most of you know that John David will be starting Kindergarten this year, August 7, 2008. I have very mixed emotions. I am sad and glad. I decided to have a day for John David and mommy. I let him pick what he wanted to do. We went to play mini golf, rode go-carts and played arcade games. After that we went to blockbuster for a few movies and Taco Bell. We had a great time. After it was all over, he gave me a big hug and said, "I love you". I was almost in tears.

Heart O dixie

This is the only picture that I have for the race.


Well I survived the Heart O Dixie! It was a great race. The weather was great, overcast for the bike, but on the run the sun began to shine.

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.
