Rapunzel hair in the making

Several years ago, our church listed in the Tapestry the need for volunteers to deliver food on Wednesday nights to the shut ins.  I thought, "I am capable of this!"  Therefore, I signed up.  We love when it's our turn and we get to see these ladies (mostly ladies).  My kids love Aunt Adele.  She was married to Trey's grandmother's brother.

 I signed the tots up for an art class one day last week.  It was a nice 2 hour time for them and for me.  They painted....

 Ta-da!

"Momma, let me try on your $10.00 sunglasses!"

 Baseball=ice cream=hot sun=melty

 Bitty has been playing some BALL with his All Stars team

 Last weekend in Olive Branch it stormed!!!  I put Annie inside my wagon with an umbrella.

 Pee-a-boo

 We placed second...

 He got a large trophy.

 The squad

 These two....they're 2 years and 8 months apart in age, they fight like cats and dogs, but love fiercely. 

 While I was attending Bitty's games in Olive Branch, Ford played in Oxford.

 They also came in second

 Second Place State Tournament Winners

 Krystals to celebrate!

 We, or I, love to go to the pool when we can.  Annie could stay from open til close.  The boys like to complain and beg to go home.  On Tuesday I brought my friend along to ensure quality pool time.

 Game ready....State Tournament here we come.....

 Summer school

 The most annoying toy in my house

 Sister wants Rapunzel hair.  I told her milk would make it grow.  She never drinks milk.

 Today she did

VBS and hitting #7

  Oh how we love summertime.  There are always loads of exciting activities going on.  Trey got to take a day trip to watch the Rebels play in Arkansas.  I do love that he was caught putting chap-stick on while the TV filmed him!

 Our church had VBS last week.  There's a theme each day.  Monday was tacky tourist day.  I decided to throw on a wig for giggles.  I wish I had a dollar for everyone who actually thought I cut my hair!!!!!

 Oliver and Annie....ohhh they love each other!

 Some of my former and soon to be students.

 Bitty has a friend named Oliver, too who joined us for VBS.

 The Bit turned SEVEN on June 13.  He also grew a narly wart on his knee which I insisted we get cut off.

 The before....

 Camo day at VBS

 I got to play Pharaoh.... Nooooooo I won't let your people go!!!!!

 That ring with little diamonds I bought in NC, well, they started falling out.  I have sent it back.  I'm so sad.

 Annie hitched many a rides at VBS.

 On Wednesday Bit got to pick a few friends to go jump at WhipperSnaps and eat at Rio Lindo.  He was so excited to get a pie in the face!

 

 The last day of being six...

 Birthday presents consisted of a blue beaded pillow, camo sleeping bag, a controller for the Nintendo Switch and a silver chain.

 Before haircuts...

 After....apparently it's a Fade...whatever that is.

 Red, White and Blue day....

 And we were twins....

 More ride hitching

 On Friday Bitty was playing soccer and head butted a 16 year old.  So this happened....

He didn't cry!

 The last hour of VBS consisted of cleaning up....

 Our third graders...

 Our fourth graders

 9:30 AM vs. 1:30 PM

 Being the awesome parents we are, we let him play in his baseball games on Friday- Sunday even after he whacked his head.  We later decided he might have had a concussion! 

 All Stars....he's the picther

 Ford created himself a nice look....

 Be still my heart

 This was pretty

 After baseball and swimming at the cousins' house, you get tired.

 I believe I have mentioned before that I am obsessed with spraying for bugs and bug traps.  I hate bugs.  Now since we have Otis, I can't use my sticky traps because he destroys them, shocker...I know.  Otis is currently at dog school so I have put a few back out.  I caught a lizard.  The next day I caught a snake.  I squealed in a weird-horrified voice for Trey to COME QUICK!!!!!

Pigs do fly and hell is freezing over because I am considering a cat now.  I hate cats, but I hate snakes more!

 He played ALL weekend.  Their team came in third.

 The kids filled out info for their Daddy on Father's Day...

 Annie pulled her pants up high and said she looked like Gran!!!!!!

 The cousins gave Bitty a hammock for his Big Day!
