Happy Anniversary Remodel Granny & Pops

For their anniversary this year Pops decided to give Granny the gift of a fully remodeled bedroom/dressing area. Therefore, we and my brother and his wife finished it out. We put texture on the walls and ceiling (mom hates sheetrock dust and texturing prevents the need to sand hence no dust). Then we put of wainscoating, chair rails and baseboards, finished out all the doorways with new trim and rewired some lighting. It looks great! Jet really getting into it...

And last but not least Granny doing what she does best!

Hope you guys had a great day!

Love you!

Monday Madness!!!

For about 2 hours tonight we were homeless... Here's a desolate Jet and Rogue wandering down the street looking for a new house that isn't "broken", how do I know they're desolate.. Rogue is willingly letting Jet hold her hand.

Here's Daddy trying to save the day

Harleigh's not sure she wants a new house

And she's telling Bubba and Sissy not to give up yet either!

Wait, maybe not, here she goes off in search on someone to save the day, or some food, whatever, she's easily pleased

Everyone taking a break waiting on a hero to show up

And wouldn't you know it, the one time the sisters tell us they have to potty there's no way to get to a bathroom in time!

Even Harleigh's in on the deal

They tried to go in the grass, but daddy wouldn't let them....

What you may ask caused this, we got home tonight from work only to find out that we were locked out of our house. Not because we both forgot our keys inside, but because the lock broke. When we finally got ahold of the landlord, he was of couse out of town! We had to call a locksmith to get us in and he eventually broke the door down. Then Andy had to repair the door frame and trim etc and install a new working deadbolt!

The kids thought it was a great adventure, until they got hungry so we had to run out and get some sandwiches and by the time we got home they had gotten the door open. So much for a relaxing evening!

Randomness.....

The depths of Lake Perry

The precious Harleigh before her trip to the depths of Perry Lake. We will miss her.

Even Rogue joins the search party as she scans the water for sissy, or doin some magic trick.

Holy Cow there she is she is back from the depths. Even Nessy cant handle her ( watch out boys of the future not that i will ever let that happen).

I think she wants Nessy to come back and get her.

As for mommy well she was the first casualty of Perry Lake, Nessy tried to bring her back but i said he could keep her. But he insisted i take her back, I guess i do need someone to make dinners, wash the clothes, u know do the wife things. Like mother like daughter not even the monsters of the deep want these two.

Loch Ness Monster

Me, Bubba and Harleigh scan the waters for Nessy at Lake Perry.

Jet thinks he has seen Nessy so he runs for the beach

O no its got Harleigh!!! Nessy's got Harleigh.
She looks real concerned for her sister doesnt she. As sis gets dragged to the depths of Lake Perry Rogue could really care less. Do u feel the love?

See what I mean.

Jet Goes Camping!!!

Jet went on his first camping trip with Uncle Jesse and Aunt Rel a couple of weeks ago... They went out to Melvern and had a great night! Here he is all loaded up and ready to go
Jet and Aunt Rel checkin out his tent, he slept in it all by himself all night! (good thing this point was left out until after the camping trip was over or Momma would never have slept that night!)

The boys getting ready to swim

Jet and Aunt Rel swimming, (this is about as deep as he went out!)

Sand castles are still cool!

Uncle Jesse and Jet roasting marshmallows to make smores!

As much as he liked to cremate the marshmallows he didn't want to actually eat them, he preferred pop tarts instead

They went on a nature walk that lead them to...

Diggers, of course, where else would a boy go (Uncle Jesse even got in on the fun)

Jet goes to the Fair

Jet went to the county fair back home with my parents and brother and his wife....here are a few of the highlights... Crazy boy with a hammer!

Uncle Jesse drew the short straw and had to ride the flying elephants!

Aunt Rel got the pleasure of riding the spinning tea cups

Playing Basketball

Uncle Jesse rode the spinning dragon

He LOVES tractors!

On the cars ride, he just hopped into this one next to the little girls he didn't even know....Daddy says it's cause he's a ladies man...

And the Ferris Wheel...Good thing Aunt Rel likes them because you'd never catch Momma on one! Notice how they're sitting when they first get on

Here's halfway through, a little closer now

And by teh very end of it he was almost on her lap. He loved it as long as it was going but he didn't like all the stopping and starting to let people on and off...

He had a great time! Thanks Jesse and Rel and Granny and Pops!
