MEMORIAL DAY AT LAKE SINCLAIR!

Yesterday we had a GREAT time with the Asbell family at Lake Sinclair!

The kids had loads of fun swimming & playing with cousins!

(This picture is Uncle Jon carrying CJ to the JetSki so the fish didn't tickle her!)

We had a nice cookout & enjoyed all the company! Uncle Steve grilled steaks & Earl grilled chickens & sausages, we also had baked potatoes, baked sweet

potatoes, baked beans, potato salad, 3 other types of salads,

(are you hungry yet?)

not to mention all the desserts...

The kids all swam & Uncle Jon pulled them in tubes on the JetSki! They DID NOT want to leave! We promised that we would come again & stay for the weekend soon!

CHELSEA'S GRADUATION!

Sunday we had a busy day! We went to church & then we hurried to get to Soperton for a graduation party for Chelsea Garner (cousin). Vicki & I made truffles for the party! Everyone had a great time! Then it was time for the Graduation!

A storm was rolling in so the ceremony was moved to the gymnasium...IT WAS SO HOT!

We made it inside just in the nick of time! The bottom fell out when we got in! We got a cool breeze every now & then, & they had huge fans down on the floor, but we were quite miserable!

But is was worth it to see Chelsea graduate & give her valedictorian speech! YEAH!

We all had a GREAT day with our family!

BOY SCOUT REGISTRATION!

Last night we registered Chandler for Boy Scouts!

He is SOOOOOooo excited!

There was a GREAT turn out last night. I think this will be a wonderful opportunity for him to grow & learn!

Since Ash was an Eagle Scout, he will have LOTS of pointers to give through the years!

FLC END OF YEAR PROGRAM

Last night was the FLC End of Year Program! We all enjoyed watching the kids show their many talents they had practiced for weeks...

Caitey Jane has been in Ms. Angela & Ms. Leigh's 3 year old class this year & has LOVED every minute! She will be moving onto the 4 year old class next year. She will have a rude awakening when she realizes we signed her up for everyday of the week for school! This year she just went 3 days!

They all had a GREAT time & got to have cake to celebrate afterwards! That was what they were really excited about!

READY FOR THE WEEKEND!

We are SOOOOOOOOOoooooo ready for the weekend! This has been a LONG week! I'm hoping to make an attempt at getting my house in order (since we have been so busy this week!) & spend some time with the family! Chandler has been begging to practice his baseball (hitting & fielding) & they LOVE riding their bikes. We may possible get to go to the pool Saturday or Sunday...maybe not Sunday if it rains like it says it's going to!


I've got a meeting with Jennie Price Saturday afternoon, I am doing the flowers for her wedding (May 30th)...we are meeting at the church to see what all we need for decorating, etc...
I can't wait for the wedding! It's gonna be so pretty!


Then we will be going to Sunday School & Church on Sunday (of course)...then who knows! Nap & Pool if it's NOT raining!

Then back to work on Monday...

POOL TIME!

Our 1st trip of the year to the Holly Hills Community Pool was yesterday! The kids had an AWESOME time!

They had the pool to themselves for about an hour then some big boys (High School) came for a swim...Chandler LOVED it because they played catch with him...

I did NOT go swimming! The water felt like ICE...well maybe not that bad...but TOO cold for me! I just layed in the sun & read my book & watched the kids play! We had a GREAT time!

MIKEY ON LOCK-DOWN!

12 days ago (4/30/09) our cat Michaelangelo, named for the Ninja Turtle (NOT the artist!), lovingly referred to as "Mikey" was roaming the neighborhood as usual...a neighbor knelt to pet him which he LOVES! Then when he stood to leave Mikey bit him in the calf! This man calls me at work to inform me of the incident that had taken place! I gave my sincerest appologies...he said it was ok, that he may have even stepped on Mikey's tail!

ANYWAY, fast forward to Friday (5/8/09), Ash calls me to say that Animal Control has come to the house to put Mikey on House Arrest until today (5/12/09) to guarantee that he infact does NOT have rabies...He informed Ash that rabies will kill an animal within 10 days & he would be our insurance policy that would prove he is healthy & we would not have to pay $20,000.00 for rabies treatments for the "victim"!

As of 7:45am this morning, Mikey is still living! NOT the happiest cat in the world, but ALIVE!

This is his LAST day of incarceration & he is ready to get out of the house!

I haven't told him this but I am planning to take him to get fixed in the next week or two! That will really make his day!

EMERGENCY!!!

Today we had ANOTHER emergency!

Friday, I got a call from school saying that Chandler had run into an air conditioner on the playground at school & split his head open! YUCK! I went to pick him up & let Dr. Bedingfield stitch him up!

TODAY! Ash calls me to say that he has cut his thumb almost in half with a knife at work! Again, Dr. Bedingfield stitched us up!

GO ROCKIES!

This year Chandler Perry has been playing Baseball for the first time without using a T! He has done AWESOME! He is a GREAT switch hitter! And is definately a natural Baseball player! I truely wish his Great Papa Perry would have been able to see him play! He would have LOVED it! But I know in my heart that he has been with him @ EVERY game cheering him on!

We have a busy week this week...
