Nine years is too old!

Kaleb turned nine today. I tried to cancel his birthday but it came anyways. He was really excited. It was nice his grandparents (Jennifer's side) and Uncle Ben could be here to help celebrate.

He was so happy for the gift we gave him...two Calvin and Hobbes books. He has been wanting them for so long. After he opened them he didn't move from his seat for a couple hours as he read them.

Home made band-aid

Brody hurt himself (scraped up his elbow). I gave him a paper towel to soak up the blood. Next thing we know, he is walking around with his newly fashioned band-aid. It was too funny, and he was so proud of it. He also asked if he could have some string or yarn to make a sling.

Mowing the lawn

is not as easy as it once was. I started about 10:00 edging, mowing, etc. This is the final result (I really don't like hot and humid).

Button, Button, who has the Button

Ok, so we weren't looking for a button, we were looking for our ice-cream scoop. For a few weeks we could not locate our scooper, which is unfortunate because it is a really nice scoop. Anyways, we finally found it, in the freezer, inside the ice-cream!

Another 911 update!!

Scott finally got his new phone!! Happy Father's day Scott. Since Scott was getting a new phone anyways, I decided to get 2! One for me and 1 for the house. Happy birthday to me. So we now have not 1, not 2 but 3 new phone numbers. If you haven't received an email from us with the phone numbers, leave a comment with your email and we will email it to you. I didn't get the
I-phone, but it is still pretty cool. I am so spoiled!

Looking through some ....

pictures from the last few months, I found this one of Mia. It made me smile. Right before we moved, Mia really wanted to sleep on the floor in her sleeping bag and not in her bed. I walked in one night and this is what I found. It was so cute I had to get a picture. She was sleeping in the bookshelf! Silly Girl.

Proof...

that things grow bigger down here in the southern heat and humidity (no, it isn't a picture of women at the beach).

It's not Brody's surfing cockroach, but we did find this grasshopper climbing up the screen the other day. Brody put his hand next to it for comparison.

Next time I'll hopefully post the most recent snake which made its way into the pool area.
