Tristan's new job

This picture was in a newspaper in Pittsburgh, Pa. It's of Edwards Moving & Rigging moving a transformer. Tristan is the guy in front of the police car with his back to the camera.

Unwanted visitor

Yesterday I headed down to the basement to put clothes in the dryer. As always, I opened the dryer door to make sure I had cleaned out the lint catcher, then I started to reach for the pliers I have to use to turn the knob since it's busted when I noticed this little guy stretched out on them. While I'm not terrified of snakes I don't like them and try to stay as far away as possible. I promptly yelled to Tristan that there was a snake on the dryer and to please come kill it. He came swiftly to the rescue. I am going to be very cautious when I do laundry from now on. The funny thing is we have lived in the country for the past 6 years and I've only had to kill one snake out in the yard, never in the house. Now we live in town for 4 months and one decides to let himself in. What is up with that?

Missy's Birthday

I was able to be in Tennesee for Missy's birthday this past week. We had a family dinner, cake & presents at my Mema & Papa's house.

Darren loves to read! He's growing up so fast.

Ethan - such a fun little guy! You never know what he's going to come up with.

Samuel - getting so big! I had so much fun playing with him.

Our Princess Missy. She loves dress up clothes.

9 years old!

Joy made the cake.

I didn't know I would be able to be there, so I had already given Missy her present from us. This shirt is one we gave her. She loves monkeys!
