Time for a Trimmin'!

We were sad to see his baby cut go, but it was time for a trim. A snip here, a snip there, and....

Tada!

He looks so much like a little man with his new cut.
He'll always be baby Johnny Daniel though:)

Baby Mozart..??

Float Trip sneak peek!

More Soon To Come!

Kitties......

We went downstairs the other day to find our sewing room completely trashed....

And right in the middle of the room we find a big pile of patterns, with two kitties on top....

hmmmm..........:)

Branson-cousin-trip!!

(above is Alyssa and me)
My two wonderful grandmas, Jeannie and Gogey, took some of the older cousins on a Branson trip we went to Silver Dollar City all day, spent the night at a hotel that evening, and met up with the other families the next day for a boating day on Table Rock Lake.(I will post pictures of that soon) You know me, I took lots of pictures, and I hope you enjoy them.....

In the car on the way there...

hehe..;) Sorry Alyssa, I just had to.

I love this picture--it's right after we got off of a water ride at Silver Dollar City, and we all look--wet. And pretty funny. It's a good memory.

Me, Ashley, and Alyssa

"Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters...."

(Clara, me, and Lyss)

Close to the end of our trip, our poor feet were dead. We found a very comfortable-looking bench and set up camp.....finding ourselves bored there, but not able to move from our comfortable position, we decided to take "artful" pictures ::

Ice cream....it's amazing how motivational that stuff can be!

Ah, a bench--gives ya something to think about you know............?

Okay Matthew, here is PROOF that Alyssa was drinking LOTS of water all day;)!!

Yes! We really got a picture of Clara!!

haha, Alyssa freaked out when this leaf fell on her...she screamed right in the middle of the park....but hey, that's not really unusual for 'Lyss;)

There was a car show going on by our hotel that night--Ashley and Alyssa just needed to have a picture with the cool car!:)

'Lyssy cracks me up....;)

Again, she cracks me up!

What's a big trip without a stop to the local Wal-Mart, right?? That's what we thought, so we stopped to look around--we girls discovered these huge clothes-pins, and, being girls, thought they were adorable.

(Lyss, Ash, and me)

God blessed us with safe travels, beautiful weather, and a wonderful time!! I love my family....

Toddy the Froggy

This past Sunday morning, while getting ready for church, Mama spotted a little frog on the porch. A"beautiful frog."

And (of course), we had to take pictures;)

Little David named the little fellow Toddy, because well, in his own words, "he jumps, and it rhymes with froggy."

That's it for now...

Camp David

Ashley was blessed this Summer by being able to help out at Camp David. She was a counselor with Susanne for a week. God did amazing things, and Ashley had an unforgettable time. At the end of it, they had a party out at the camp for all the staff and their families.....enjoy a couple pictures!

Wow, now this could get ugly. :)

David and me, sittin' in the hammock......:)

Blessings,
