Our Place

Alright, well mom has been buggin' me about putting pictures of our place on our blog, so mom these are for you. This place used to belong to a lady named Hattie. She passed away quite a few years back, and her house had been home to alot of rats, bats, and even some skunks (who still like to show their faces every once in a while.) We tore the house down a couple months back and now we are are fighting with the weeds, and we are not winning. We love it here the tree's are great, and there is just something peaceful about being here. For now, we are still living on wheels, but maybe someday we will have a house on a foundation, and no not the trailor!

Hopefully we will be able to eat some grapes and pomegranates!

My Favorites!

These are my favorite part about living here. Honestly I am not a pet person, but I have to admit that our pets are pretty funny. We have two dog's Dottie and Dolly. They love to sleep sprawled out on the steps. Are dogs have traveled with us so much that they think that they are just another human. The proof is in the picture below. Dolly loves to sit in the lawn chair outside every chance she gets.

This is our other pet. His name is James. We initially got him (at least we think its a boy) to eat the rats, but come to find out he is pretty fun to have around too. James got his name from James Bond because when we first got him, he did some pretty amazing things that could have cost him some of his nine lives. James isn't like most cats, cause he likes our dogs, and some times he acts like he is one.

One Great Week

Some of my nieces came to visit me for a few days last week, Camaria, Kelsey, Tyra, Hailey, and Paige. We had so much fun. Most people would have thought that Jayce and I were crazy for taking on five girls when we live in a fifth wheel, but we really did have a blast. We just kept the girls busy ALL day to keep them from getting bored. We woke up in the mornings and made Jayce breakfast, then cleaned the house (yes we, the girls were very good at washing the dishes and running the vacuum). After cleaning the house we would all get ready for the day and then start off to our morning activity which included sewing teddy bears and swimming at the river. In the afternoons we went swimming at the pool. I was quite impressed with all of the girls ability to swim. Camaria, Kelsey, Tyra, and me went off the diving board for the first time. Camaria even did a front flip. Quite impressive I must say.

Here is a picture of the girls playing at the river. When we got to the river, the girls were hesitant to stick their feet in, but as you can see, before we left, they were laying in it.

In our spare time, we introduced the girls to the wonderful life on the farm. We took them to get milk and they learned just where milk came from. They were so excited to see all of the cows especially the brand new calves. The thing that they loved most about the dairy was the cotton seed. When we told them that we were going to the cotton seed, they had no idea what to expect, but they had so much fun sliding, digging, and even stuffing their clothes to the top with seed.

All in all i think that the girls had alot of fun. I sure enjoyed having them for the week. I Hope that we will have the opportunty to make many more great memories.
