Catch up time!!
OK, since last time I posted we have had a LOT of firsts and lasts and other "stuff" going on! Here are a smattering. (do you like that word??)
Shrimp turned 18!!!!
Last parade for Shrimp at the State Fair.
Mom and I made 90ish jars of jam and painted the kitchen.
First day of the last year of high school for Shrimp and my "other" son E-man.
First day of second grade for Bebo.
First day of Kindergarten and first bus ride for Toot.
Life is moving fast and furious.

Green Lake Get Away
On July 28th we met up with some wonderful friends that we got to know on our last trip to China. We were adopting Bebo, and they were there to get their little guy, Jaden. We just clicked.
We had a wonderful( but too short) day of boating, swimming and enjoying each others company. It was very hard saying goodbye. Toot and Bebo are still talking about the boat and the lake.
We love you guys!

Toot's 6th B-day!!!
I can't believe it.....Toot is 6 years old today!!!!
She and I will be heading out ( just the two of us) for a girls breakfast at her favorite restraunt, Cracker Barrel. Toot loves their pancakes and bacon! Of course the fun shopping part is a big draw too! :0)
This evening we will have an outdoor party with hotdogs,carrots (of course),cake, icecream, a slip-n-slide, water balloons,and lots of friends. She is SO excited she can hardly stand still.
Pictures to come later...it is going to be a busy fun filled day!!!
Hellhole
Well............The kids were digging in the front yard and Weatherman yelled "Hey, you know you aren't supposed to dig out there!" Toot responded seriously "Oh........We are just trying to find hell." Yes, we were on the floor!!!!! Most kids dig for China but, they've been there done that.
So, of course, Weatherman (comedian that he is) takes them out to the garden in the back and tells them its closer to hell there!! As you can see they have a nice size hole. So far all they have found are garden tools that they burried last fall and some worms. Toot says she thinks it will take 33 days. We will let you know. :0)
