Milestone

A certain family member had a milestone birthday and we didn't let it go unnoticed. We are lucky enough to have family that let's us enjoy their backyard swimming pool. It was a perfect hot August day to enjoy a birthday.

DIL Janice swimming with two bathing beauties.

Rachel wasn't quite sure about the big bathtub.

Can you say a bunch of rednecks settin' 'round the hottub. Who has the whitest legs?!

Mia styling her bikini and do-rag to keep her head protected from the sun.

And what better gift than to have two Grandaughters added during this past year.

Uncle Troy

Troy was there the day both girls were born. Poor girls, they have an Uncle who'll scare all of the boys off too.

I didn't notice until I posted this, but look at the difference in the size of their hands.It also reminds me that this bench sure needs painted.

Sometimes...

I do think ahead...like years ahead. When we were building the house, we did not build a bathtub in the building but I insisted on having a mini-kitchen bathtub so a baby or two could be bathed. How do you like my Mia-sized tub? One of these days she'll kill me for showing the world these! But, aren't they fun smiles!

Wish I would've had a spare dishwasher somewhere. We can never get all of the dishes in it.

Catch up

It's already fall and I'm so far behind, it's not even funny.

I'm gonna try in a few post to show what I've been doing the past few months....will that work?

Here's a neat bench I bought at a garage sale and I thought it was a lot cuter if Rachel showed it off. I call it a telephone bench because my Grandma had a metal one that sat in her hallway when I was a kid. All of my furniture is hand-me-down or very Early 1970's/early american style. Okay..I'm cheap, and when I found this bench for $10, it came home with me.

The crocheted bedspread (and HollyHobby doll) on the couch behind Rachel is one I bought at Canton, TX last fall (for a bargain $10.)

Slobbery smiles....so hard to resist!

Grandma's Girls

These two little ones came and spent some time with us on the farm over the weekend.
Lots of slobbery kisses and baby food everywhere!
