It's a Pretty Good Ole Life :)

Today was a very busy day at work... tomorrow will be even crazier!! The first & third of the month and holiday AND Friday all mixed together... YIKES!!!!

This evening was GREAT! Kyle worked in Andalusia today, so he got home pretty early and was able to go mow his Grandaddy's grass. Mom got the kiddos and then they got Tyler and headed to Jody's house to swim. We had a big birthday dinner for Mom's birthday. Her birthday is Saturday, but they are going on a Captain Anderson Dinner Cruise, so I won't be able to see her. We had grilled ribs, sausage, porkchops, corn on the cob, YUMMY potatoes, rolls, and salad. For dessert we had homemade peach ice cream.

Anyway.... here are some pictures of Sophie the other night "riding" the rope swing :

As soon as Kyle got home from his Grandad's (which wasn't long after I got home), we went to Jody's. Karter was so proud of his hair.... "KyKy" hair. Daycare got it to stay standing and he LOVED it :)!

Heidi does soooo well swimming under water.


Sophie Girl:

My handsome little man....

Is this picture not perfect timing? I love it!! It looks like they are walking on water.

Heidi getting ready to jump off. I was so proud of her!

Ole Dad-A-Roo doing some flips....

After supper we just all sat around a talked for a while.... Soph was getting SOOOO Sleepy :)!! Heidi and Karter wanted to spend the night with KyKy and Babee... well they came to get their clothes and the little guy didn't want to go :)!! He is going through an attachment issue phase. Heidi Leigh was ready to go *L*!!

Soph fell asleep probably 45 seconds after we started the car tonight and headed home. She was one tired little 1 year old.

I don't know if I have mentioned it on here, but for some reason I have really wanted a Lemon Tree. My oh so sweet Mother In Law bought me a Meyer Lemon Tree today. I need to find me a cute pot and stuff to put it in and replant it. AND when I get finish blogging I have to go google how to take care of it. But I am so very excited :)!!

Anyway.... very much looking forward to the long 4th weekend. Maybe a little R & R. Big plans Monday.... grilling and hanging out by the pool and Saturday evening some friends are coming over.

Life is really good.... oh and something for you to just think about.... Kyle and I were talking tonight about families. Let me start with the other Sunday in Sunday School I was telling them I thought there was a big difference in a house and a home. It doesn't matter how big or small your house is.... if it's not a home it doesn't matter. I know people that live in huge houses... that we very much need, but they have absolutely no love in it.... not a home. So anyway... we went by a house and we both know they have 2 kids. To me, you can go by a house and just by the outside of it you can tell a lot of things. You can tell whether their life is boring, interesting, exciting, if the kids play outside, etc.... this house is just dull and boring on the outside... and the grass was slightly tall... well that tells me that the kids do not play outside much... and since there were no toys outside I could easily tell they weren't out their much. You come by our house, our blinds are usually open and you most always see a kid or two running around out there *L*! Plus there are toys EVERYWHERE!! You might agree???? or not????
