We had Vacation Bible School at FBC Starkville two weeks ago and it was so much fun! I helped teach the kids that just finished First Grade. They were a very sweet, energetic group of kids. It made me miss teaching school (not enough that I am ready to go back full time!)! I was really thinking and so was Dr. Locke that teaching VBS and climbing the 3 flights of steps several times in the morning might send me into Labor, but needless to say, it DID NOT! Oh well, it looks like Little Leah (as the boys call her, after Princess Leah) is taking her sweet time and is only planning on appearing when she is good and ready! Great, it looks like we are going to have another very determined child with a mind of their own! At least, I know what to expect, considering both boys are that way. Well, I guess I should just say our whole family is that way!!

I found these photos in the internal memory on my camera-forgot I ever took them! They were taken at Dairy Queen in Birmingham. This is Ben's all time favorite place to eat (as far as fast food goes). He plans our trip to his parents so that we "hit" Birmingham just in time for lunch or supper at the DQ!

Looks like Ben is not the only one who likes to eat there!

Ben and Aunt Traci, kids at heart! Now do you see why our kids behave the way they do!!

The boys love to play with Moon Sand. Out-of-This-World fun, along with Out-of-This-World mess! Oh well, that is why we have a broom and dustpan, right?

Hello Everyone!
NO BABY YET!!! The actual due date is July 5th. Who knows when Charleston Marie will decide to make her appearance. The boys are so excited. They ask everyday is she going to be born today and they keep going into her room to look and play with her toys. It is so sweet how much they love her already!! Ben will post some pictures once she arrives!

The boys help Ben celebrate his 36th Birthday. We went to eat pizza at Old Venice (Yum!) and then to see Kung Fu Panda (Ben's request!) on his birthday!SL did great at his swimming lessons. He really enjoyed taking and it has helped him a lot!We met Madison, Collin, and Mrs. Melissa (our Columbus buddies) at Lee Park in Columbus for a little fun and then went back to thier house to play for a while. It was great to get-together with friends and the kids just pick back up playing just as if we still lived there!
Ben shows the boys a HUGE rat snake! Yuck! After he showed it to them, he just threw it back into the yard. He said it helps to keep mice away, which in turn keeps the rattlesnakes away! Even so, it is still a snake and it is yucky! We have warned the boys numerous times that they are not allowed to pick up snakes like daddy!
Fun in the sun on Memorial Day!


Havey make a clubhouse on his bottom bunk. They played in it for hours. Great entertainment!
Havey did great playing Coach Pitch. We were so proud of him! He seemed to really enjoy playing, which is the most important thing!!
