Weekend before last, we had a visit from some "down south" cousins. Baton Rouge to be exact. I know that's not really down south but it's a lot further down that us!!
Anyway, meet the triplets: M., E., and H., and Mom L.

Miss E. was quite the babysitter and kept Miss RA entertained.

Miss H. kept the rest of us entertained with her four-wheeler driving lesson!! This picture doesn't do justice to what actually transpired. Let me see if i can re-capture the events that led to this picture...
Sheriff was sitting on the back with H. in the front...she "gunned" the gas pretty good and the front of the four wheeler literaly came off the ground throwing Sheriff up in the air. I wasn't quick enough to catch the action...this is all I got. The front tires came back down to earth and Sheriff landed with a thud on the seat... fun times!! Thanks Miss H. for the show!! You're awesome!!

Later on, Mom L. decided to take a turn. Her lesson was eventful as well, but not to the degree as Miss H.'s!! We had a fun time!!

Hey Unca Ray, my mama's car has a bug on it. I'm just gonna get it off.

Actually, I think YOU should get it off. See it? Right there..

Yep, that's it, right there. I'll just stand here and supervise.

Oh that will look so much better. Put a little elbow grease into it will ya?

I think someone has her Unca wrapped around her tiny finger..... :)

Step right up ladies and gents, to the greatest show on earth...

Ringmaster trio...guess which is my favorite??

Look close and you will see elephants, monkeys, tigers, clowns, dancers, gymnasts, and daredevil biker dudes!!

Cougar Mile!!
This is always an exciting day for the kids, they have worked hard all year to prepare.
Here's C. and his fellow 7 yr. olds at the start..

Runnin' like the wind. This was lap 2...

Checkin' out the competition...lap 3.

Presidential Time!! Whoo hoo! He ran that mile in 8 min. 41 seconds, that's 4 seconds less from last year.

Another night at the ballfield. Looking at this picture, it's easy to see where RA gets her monkey-like abilities...

Nice hit!!

D. really, REALLY, enjoys being catcher..

This past Saturday, Jamie took the boys on a "Crawfish Expedition" with a group from our church. They left our house at 6:50 that morning..

They went somewhere, can't remember the name of the place, but it was 2 hours away!! They spent the morning catching some big 'ol crawdaddies...

Of course the logical thing to do after you catch all them mudbugs is to boil and eat 'em!!

They all arrived home safe and sound that evening just in time for supper!!!

Baseball season is here!! Thankfully, we managed to get both boys on the same team. Last year, they were on separate teams. One was T-ball and one was PeeWee. There were nights we were at that ball field for TWO HOURS..with a toddler...Not fun folks, not fun.
So, this year we are not going to have that little problem...
These pics are actually from last week's game. We had one tonight, but I ran off and left the camera at home!!
Here's our All-Star lineup..

I didn't want RA to feel left out...

Let the whining begin..

Showing off our climbing skills yet again..

Let's play that picture game where I show you two pictures and you have to figure out what's different. Ok. Ready? Go!

So, was it too hard??? Were you able to see the" subtle" changes????

This is waht we did this weekend. We pulled up our old, nasty carpet and painted the boring walls!!! The new floor is a made to look like hardwood. Its very similar to what we put in RA's room. The wall color is called "baked clay". It's amazing the difference a coat of paint makes.....
