Catching up!

Time has been getting away from me with all of the busyness of finishing school, helping SS prepare for finals, working on home projects... Here are a few of the highlights.

The pool is up! My mom and dad came over the day after our water was put in so that we could make use of our free water to fill our pool. (The water authority is giving us a little time without a meter - NICE!) While the wind was blowing, we all clung to the sides to keep the pool from blowing away. All you could see of poor Neil-Te was his little hands, and his arms got so tired. Everyone is excited to use the new pool when the weather warms up next week- except hubby and grandma who just plan to supervise! ;-)

Hubby took the three older boys on their annual Cadet camping trip last weekend. Neil-Te was excited to go for the first time, and had a great time. I love the expression that hubby caught in this picture, though I do need to crop off the right side of the picture.

Ever the buds - the cousins caught critters and told underwear jokes all weekend!

A made a military hat to wear, and brought the old air gun he found. He was excited to have told the most scary ghost stories at the campfire.


My niece, "The Yellow Banana", arrived for a visit today. She will be with us for 6 days, and I will try to be more faithful with my blog while she is here so that her mom and dad can keep up with what she is doing. Though I am always happy to have more females in my house, I'm not sure we need another dog! Her dog tag tells me to return her to Disney. Hmmmm..... :-)

YAY on the pool! How I hope God has one of those babies picked out for this family soon!!!


How sweet about the camp trip. Glad it was nice enough to swim, too. It's fun to join the "big" kids!

Enjoy your niece's visit.
