Twilight fans

Yes, I am miffed about Stephenie Meyer writing a 170 page book about a 2 second character from the end of Eclipse. I now realize that she did it for the movie. I watched a clip from the movie last night that was from the new book! Here is the link if you want to read it. The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner. It is only available free on her website till sometime in July.

New Swimming Pool

We got NK one of those snap together pools. She was very excited to get in and go swimming. In this heat you gotta have something. It is just too hot not to have a pool to hang in. There is also a pic of her enjoying her first very messy popsicle. The pool wasn't very level on the grass so we moved it on the patio and put some foamy stuff under it. We are waiting right now for the sun to be covering it so we can go splash together. Don't worry we've kept busy cleaning the windows this morning. Naomi Kate is not only a good toilet cleaner but a wonderful window washer too! (She asked me the other day out of the blue if we could clean the toilets please.)

Tea Parties and kitties

NK loves to have tea parties! This particular day she invited all her Barbie dolls, Ms. Boo, and Mr. BoBo to join her. I just thought it was the funniest thing to watch the cats stare at their "cup of tea".

The Flood

I know this is absolutely nothing compared to all the devastation in Nashville but that was as bad as it got for us. The creek down the road from us was completely normal this morning. We are blessed to live on a hill. We are praying for those who lost houses and all their things. One of Josh's co-workers houses was badly flooded. We saw a picture of their yard on the internet. They just finished remodeling. If you don't live in TN take a look at all the pictures on the net it is heartbreaking and please pray for us!

Easter pics in May

This was a fun Easter day for all of us. Josh, Amy, and I "hid" all the eggs and then Grandmom and Grandad and Uncle Bryan brought the kids to us. They had LOTS of eggs to find and we are not sure they even got them all. Someone might find an egg down there when they go to plant their green beans. Hope it's a money egg! The 3 kiddos went to it and found eggs then posed for a picture. Amy found a perfect place and set the stage. It took several shots and we really only got the one good picture at the bottom. I put the one before it in there b/c that was what most of pictures looked like. 2 of the kids would look good but the 3rd would not-isn't that always the way. We love her bunny shirt. Thanks Allison! Notice I did succeed in braiding NK's hair! Yay! Thanks to a hairspray tip from a friend at school (Thanks Carlette). Happy Easter to you in May.
