Not completely gone...

LOL

Sorry I have been MIA recently. Been really busy with life in general.

Not much is going on..... my mother is visiting from Texas. Heather got a new kitty, named champagne. Which has now been changed to Payne, because what she thought was a girl is a boy! :-D

DS7 had his ultrasound done on his abdomin. We haven't received the "official" repart, but the ultrasound tech said that things "look good". So that is a BIG relief.

I will try and get back into posting more often. Things will be settling down soon.

Toads and little kids

It amazes me that my kids can find the toads that live in our yard! I never see them until I have little kid shoving one in my face with pride! LOL

We also found a little lizard, but it was too fast for us! LOL Of course, DH thought it was funny that I don't have a problem with lizards, but can not stand snakes. I told him they just were not the same!

Oh, I don't think I mentioned what we saw at Kings Dominion the last time we were there. A snake! LOL We were standing in line for the scrambler when this black snake come slithering along the path. LOL The snake just wanted to get away from all the people, but couldn't seem to get there fast enough!

DH had a good laugh from that! Asked me how I handled it....I told him I was fine. I am okay when I see them first from a bit of distance. It is when I come upon one suddenly that I can't seem to breathe!

Just something I need to work on...especially living out here!

Pictures as entertainment?

My oldest step-daughter has come up with a new way to entertain her little siblings. Taking pictures with her digital camera!

Sometimes you have to wait for things....like your older sister's high school graduation. LOL It was a "first come, first serve" kinda thing at an outdoors pavilion, so we got there kinda early to make sure we had decent seats. Like most kids, after awhile, they start to get antsy and want to move around. Older sis comes to the rescue, and here are some of the results:
