Fun on the farm Day 2

Emily's turn to drive the Mule.Tyler and Granddaddy rode the 4-wheeler.Carter played in the truck/animal room. He was riding the truck.Tyler was the teacher. Carter thought being in the tent was so funny.
What a great afternoon to play in the dirt. How dirty do you think they got?

That little Carter loves to drink and let it run out of his mouth.

More fun!

Fun on the farm week

We are having a wonderful time! Emily and Grandaddy have been having fun. Emily showed him how to play a fishing game on the Game Boy. It looks like Grandaddy caught one! The new house is our "play house" for the week. Each room is set up for a different type of play.
Emily loves the Barbie room.

Tyler and Carter like the Truck/animal room.More fun!

They're doing good!

A few weeks ago I got to see Allen and children. Jill had come in from Delaware for a visit and they were all on their way to Magnolia.They were all doing good.

Bryan and Chris completed their second year of college and turned 21. They are looking for a summer job and making plans for next year. Bryan may be going to Savannah and Chris will probably never leave College Station/A&M.

Kerri is working on her Master's and working. Stephen has a project in his garage and still enjoys his work.

Jill still likes her job with the architectural firm and still hates the commute. Kyle is off flying in Afghanistan.

Keep doing good. We're proud of you!

Emily's 4th Birthday

We had so much fun at Emily's birthday. Jennifer's blog details it so well.

Emily's cake was so pretty! Emily had gone with Jennifer to pick out what she wanted. Good job!

Emily and everyone enjoyed the bowling. Madison was there to help and encourage Emily.

Tyler and Carter enjoyed the boat ride with their Daddy and Mama.

Aren't these the sweetest grandbabies you every saw?

Emily poses so sweetly with her Mama and Daddy.
