Okay, I wasn't too fond of this new find...


This snake (they thought it is was garden snake, internet searching reveals it is more like a rat snake) was about 4 ft long. Dustin, our neighbor, found it down by the pond. He called David, who took a box down to the pond so that we could save it for the kids to see. He was then released into the woods. You won't find me walking through that tall grass now.

Where do you sleep when your bedroom floods?

Jacob doens't look too comforable but he doesn't seem to mind!


You have to sleep anywhere you can. I think we pulled out almost every blanket we have for them to make their beds!!

Full Sr High Choir, they sound fabulous!

Benjamin sings tenor.

Full Jr. High Choir, they are really good.

Abigail sings soprano.

Mother's Day

I enjoyed spending some extra time with my mom on Mother's Day. We actually went out to eat (all of us) on Saturday since restaurants were crowded on Sunday. It was a nice time. On Sunday I did stop in for a visit and to give her a gift. I am so thankful for the supportive and loving mother that God gave me.

Spring at Our House

Robins, eggs, liris', green everywhere, and, yes, dandelions...it is absolutely beautiful at our house! Of course this all means, work outside, cook outs and fun!

Mom S., this picture is for you!

Benjamin's favorite flower growing everywhere in front of our house.

We are working on getting rid of the dandelions.
