Julie spent an hour finding frogs tonight.

She loves them! We have at least 4 different species.

He's out there and I'm back here!

The boys are both thrilled! I let them drive the tractor all over the place for about 30 mins each. The teeny tiny spec in the middle, just to the right of the barn, is Johnny having one of his turns. It was Andy's idea... ;)

Turns out, Julie is quite good at siding. This is her handiwork on her mom and dad's garage!

I "supervised" showing my neighbor how to replace his 200 year old windows...

We ended up tearing the entire wall off the back of the house and replacing the WHOLE thing! This is with two windows to go. Pretty amazing what two (one and a half) guys can do in 24 hours.

Meet Pinky. Andy bought a replacement.

As you can see, it has green iridescent bottoms of its feet! It's called a Pink Toe...?

Makeshift sun shade and a night of baseball!

Sadly, we had out first fatal molt...

Andy's first tarantula (Fur Shoots, Rosy, Rosette) didn't make it through. We tried our best to help her, but it was too late. This is just the molt and was our attempt to clear it away from her so she could free herself from the entanglement. I've never performed surgery on a spider before!

So many people at Chic Fil A today that google maps called it a traffic jam!

Johnny is trying again.

To everything there is a season

In memory of Grandma Morey for Mother's Day. These are four views of the tree we planted in her memory.

Proud of all my kids, niece and nephews last night

Everyone of them takes part in Awana. Johnny is all excited to be an LIT (student leader) next year. Can't believe it's his last year as an Awana clubber!

-Thanks to Susan for correcting my previously incorrect categorization of her daughter! ;) Love you sis... Emily too!

Another shot of most of us enjoying our Awana rewards at Young's

I think the boys are in the middle of asking me if we can get some lunch there too! Haha

A few good weeks!

I've made an album of a few of the last weeks/weekends here. It includes the school safety training Julie and I took, Easter, the NRA show and Andy's birthday. We started Andy's birthday with a trip to one of our new favorite Waynesville breakfast spots, shown here. You can check all them out here:
