Shootin"

K and Tommy came over to MiMi and Pappys tonight. Buzzy wanted to show Tommy Pappy's clay pigeon thrower thingy. Pappy and Tommy shot some pigeons. Buzzy wanted to shoot too, but he couldn't figure out how to hold his ears and hold the gun. Pappy and I got to help him! He was so excited, but informed us that the gun hurt his "boobie!" He is such a mess!

T-Ball Game

I know this doesn't show his face, but I love this picture.
Daddy was the third base coach. Buzzy missed a practice and two games while we were in Florida, so he didn't quite have the base concept down!

This was the first time he went across home plate! He was so proud of himself and he had a cheering section, so he had to give them the thumbs up!

Guess who else is on his team? I think they could be trouble!

Race

Steve's first race didn't go as he wanted it to. He didn't wreck, just didn't go as fast as he wanted! Isn't his car pretty? Didn't scratch is a bit either!

Florida Pictures...finally

These are just a few of the highlights. We had such a good time and K and I didn't even have one cross word!!

This is when we took the little boat to Shell Island. The man let us out of on a sandbar in the lagoon to hunt for sand dollars. We found starfish too. It was really neat. We found probably 40 or so sand dollars, between all of us.

This was when we played Lagoon Golf. It had a HUGE koi pond that was probably bigger than the golf course. We played mini golf every night but one, I think, maybe two nights. Buzzy loves it. He wouldn't let me play. I had to keep score. He would have a fit if anyone tried to bounce their golfball on the sidewalk. The first night, he would take everyone's balls and carry them to the next hole and then let them have their golfball back!

K and Buzzy hunting sand dollars. Notice the sunburn! Hee Hee!

The gang on Shell Island. Yes, I have put on weight, but I was SWOLLEN from the sunburn. I promise! My legs were the same size from the knee down every night. Buzzy was singing "Head, shoulders, knees and cankles, knees and cankles" For those of you that don't get it, like me, a cankle is a leg calf and ankle that are the same size and have no difference in size. I was miserable every evening, but I tried to not whine. And boy, am I peeling and itchy now!

Daddy and Buzzy testing the water.

Warmed up to the water!

Margaritaville! Loved it!

Updated bump. I don't have a clue what Buzzy is doing.

Margaritaville hats. Her's is a flower, mine a palm tree/boat propeller! Buzzy got a parrot head, Steve a black and orange shark fin and Tommy, a pink and white shark fin. He was a party pooper and wouldn't wear his!

Home

We are home from Florida. Got a late start leaving today, so home late tonight. For those of you who have emailed me and gotten no response, I am not ignoring you. I am having computer issues, and it's a miracle that I can even post on here! It's not letting me send ANY email, so until I can get it looked at, no one will be getting email. I think it's got a virus, so I am going to have to consult with someone that knows more than how to turn this crazy thing on! Until later.....

Playdate

Buzzy has wanted Cooper to come over for a long time. Cooper's Mom and I said that when there was a warm day, that we would try to get them together. So Cooper came home from school with us today for a couple hours. Buzzy was so excited that he woke up with a smile this morning! That is an extremely rare occurance! They seemed to have a good time. I don't know about Cooper, but Buzzy was exhausted when we got back from taking Cooper to his grandparent's house!

After we had lunch at McDonalds, I took them to the park for a few minutes. When I say few, that's exactly what I mean. They wanted to go to the house to play with the critters and to play XBox. Of course, they had to feed the chickens!
Then they had to feed the fish.
Then they shared Daddy's chair to play XBox

Buzzy had to take Cooper to the mill so he could see the loaders. Cooper loved watching the chop saw at the mill. **K informed me that this was a little dangerous for them to be at the mill. SO FYI... we were sitting in the tahoe watching from a little ways away from the actual saw. I'm dingy, but come on K!** Buzzy was bored with it, but I told him that Cooper hadn't seen it before and he liked watching it! After that, everytime that Buzzy would try to rush him to do something new, Cooper would tell Buzzy that he hadn't seen or done whatever he was doing before. That way he would get a little extra time to watch or do the "new" thing that he had discovered!

When we got back to the house, they headed for the ditch. Buzzy's digger stays in the ditch by the garage. We rolled up their pants and put some crocs on both of them and they were in heaven! I should have known to take them to the mud first! They had more fun playing in the ditch than doing anything. Cooper kept saying he wanted to get a frog to take to his Mamaw's fish pond. I caught a baby frog for him and put it in a jar. When we got to his grandparents, he and Buzzy headed straight for the pond to let it go. I must say, two little boys are going to run me ragged! I was exhausted myself, but it was worth every second! They had such a good time. Buzzy can't wait until the next playdate. Cooper asked me on the way to his grandparents if I would pick him up at school again sometime!

Turkey

You might be a redneck when you get excited over TWO tom turkey's in your yard! We haven't seen any since we got the dog, but these were in the front yard and he stays on the porch in the back. He never knew they were there and I got some good pictures!

How Do You Discipline your child?

We put ours in the pen with the chickens when he acts up! No, not really! He wanted to sit in there with them! It was such a pretty day today, so I decided to move the chickens to their pen. When it gets warmer and we don't have to use the heat lamp, I'm going to move them farther away from the house. The chickens seemed to like it. They liked sitting on the perch in the cage. Buzzy really liked it too. He went in and out of the pen about 20 times! He would go in and crouch down at the front of the cage and just watch them. Finally I found an old kitty litter bucket that was short enough for him to sit up on comfortably and he was in heaven!

Steve's Car

Steve, Heavy, and Austin worked on the decals all evening. The first race is supposed to be tomorrow night, but it's supposed to rain. We had to have the car ready just in case the sun pops out and the races go on!

Greetings from the Nut House!

I was trying to take a picture of my bump to post on here. Steve came in and decided to be a comedian and then Buzzy wanted in the picture too. He was in the bathtub and I made him cover himself with the washcloth. Does this look like a nut house or what?? I've got a belly and Steve is sucking his in and then there is little Larry the Cable Guy throwing up the peace sign! There's no place like home!
Buzzy went to Owensboro with MiMi and Pappy after school yesterday. MiMi told me he had a little wreck. He has taken after his graceful Momma and Pappy. We have a hard time walking and keeping our balance. Buzzy was walking down a sidewalk with his hands in his pockets, got a little tripped up and fell nose first onto the sidewalk. When he got home, he told me that a grasshopper had tripped him. Really.

Take me out to the TEEEEEE Ball Game!!

Last night was the first T-Ball practice.


Ain't they cute!!

Who said I don't cook...

I have been on a roll this weekend. Friday night we had steak, roasted potatoes, and this yummy dessert. Monday night we had pork chops, green beans, mac and cheese and brownies. And the last night, we had oven fried chicken ( MY ABSOLUTE, ALL TIME FAVORITE!!!!!) fried okra, and corn of the cob. I don't know what is wrong with me, but it is nice to have something other than take out. Since I was "challenged" by my blog buddies, although a long time ago, to post new recipes, this is my first. It is angel food cake with a crushed pineapple concoction filling and fresh strawberries. Steve ate almost the whole thing by himself. Buzzy and I got one small piece each and there was very little left when I threw it out. I think someone sneaks in the refrigerator when I go to bed at night!! Post a comment if you want the recipe. I'm taking tonight off on cooking. Steve wants pizza rolls - YUK. So me and Buzzy will probably have Pizza Time!!

Church Easter Egg Hunt

The church always has an egg hunt for the little one's the Saturday before Easter. We went and it was so cold!
I had the sweetest picture of Buzzy "showing" me all of his finds and of course it didn't save and I have already deleted it from my camera. This is the alternative picture. He found, I think, 32 eggs. He was so excited. We had to take them to MiMi's to show her and Pappy. Then the next morning, the Easter bunny hid them while MiMi and Pappy were at church. Buzzy got to find them all over again.
