Is it Fall yet?

Fun in the Sun

My kids LOVE outside, especially JT. He would live out there if I would let him. So, of course, this summer we're outside A LOT. As most of you know, I am NOT an outdoorsie (sp?) person and do NOT like hot weather. Therefore, Summer is not my favorite time of the year -- heat, bugs, shorts/swimsuits. :( You will not find me camping out.

On a positive note, it's not as hot as usual (100+) and it's Frappucino season (like I need a season). I love a cold frapp that gives you a brain freeze so good it paralyzes you momentarily. Fun while driving....I live dangerously. :)

"We're having fun."

Fun in the Fort...Sissy is practicing her model poses.

This is "Fancy" (show name) the Trapeze Artist. Look, no net!

Water Guns....a must! You can shoot your sibling/parent, keep yourself cool, get a drink and drown ants. The fun just keeps coming.

Out of Africa

Grammy is back from her mission trip to Uganda. She answered God's call to go to Africa to help some doctors and dentists from her church. I admire her for her faith and for going on this adventure. Grammy, glad you had a great time and back safe and sound.

Grammy's new name is "Jaw Jaw" (sp?), which is grandmother in African. Here's the baby that "blessed" JawJaw.

JawJaw is the dental assistant responsible for cleaning the instruments. As she put it, the "cleanest hands in Uganda".

Lots of pretty scenery and animals. Wish JawJaw, aka Cat Lady, would have seen a lion.

Let's Party!

Happy Birthday Little One!

We had JT’s 2nd birthday party yesterday. We had some friends and family join us to celebrate little man turning 2. As you can see the kids played in the water. Then, we grilled out and ate cake and ice cream. I love having everyone over. We had such a good time just hanging out (and eating).

Fun & Sun!

The 2 year olds....It's much cooler mowing in the water!

Daddy is so fun! He was a hero and gave the kids a push down the slip-n-slide. Weeeeee!

Smile!!

Making a wish.... probably for a life supply of popsicles!

Brrrrrrr!

Grammy & Cousin Lyndsey

Emma is either making a funny face or doesn't like dinner. :)

The 2 year olds are eating cake with some black icing....good think'in Momma Wolg.

Thanks Mimi for the golf clubs...perfect for hitting Sissy!

As it says in Sissy's Toy Story Book -- "Good Play. Good Buddies."

Zachary looks so much like Paw Paw, especially when both are napping.

Cake & Ice Cream with my hands! Grab the hose....

Yummy!

Ariel and Sissy -- cousins, but like sisters

Happy Birthday JT!

JT is Two so we went to the Zoo!

Everyone loves the carousel! If only they were real horses.

JT in the stadgecoach -- He's ready to go!

Sissy fed the birds -- now if we could get her to eat!

JT turned 2 on Thursday, 6/19. We went to the zoo on his birthday -- he loves to be outside and animals. It's tradition for Sissy and JT's cousins to go with us; Ariel & Lyndsey, and now Zachary too, but he slept through most of it. Paw Paw came in town and went too. It was a perfect time to go -- a week day and right after a rain storm = cooler and no crowd. We had a great time. We got to see lots of animals and the white tiger up close at the window.

Black Monday

Goodbye Dutch!

Daddy's and my cat, Dutch, died yesterday. We were blessed to have her for 13 1/2 years. We adopted Dutch when she was only 8-10 weeks old -- Daddy's and my first baby together. Needless to say, we are very sad. We're going to miss her so much. Dutch hissed at everyone, except Daddy and I. She loved us and kept her attention for us.

Dutch was a beautiful cat. When I looked at her, I knew there was a God that made her and blessed me with her. I'm going to miss Dutch's purr, silky soft fur and cuddling with her. Dutch was my "fish aquarium" so to speak; she was very calming for me.

Goodbye My Friend, I love you!

Happy Father's Day!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY, "DADDY"!

JT came up with a song just for Father's Day. It goes "Daddy's a Daddy". You sing the same verse time and time again, like row, row your boat, and ocassionally, put a car or toot sound in. It's especially nice when sung in the car non-stop.

I didn't know I could love, admire and respect Daddy any more until he became a father. Wow! He is an incredible father, husband and leader of our home. He is most deserving of our love and admiration. Daddy provides for his family and goes to work even when he doesn't feel like it; he takes care of our home and family; he takes responsiblity; he "gits 'er done"...whatever it is; he spends time with his kids; he sets a good example; he's giving and helpful. I could go on. Basically, Daddy tells his kids (& me) that he loves us, but his daily actions speak louder than words ever could.

Thank you Daddy for being the father, that you are, to my babies. I love you! Momma Wolg

Happy Father's Day to My Dad!

Hope you have a great day! Thank you for raising me -- providing for me, teaching me and for the laughter. I love you! Momma Wolg
