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!

Baby's first picture

My ultrasound was this week. Our baby is very active. He/she was waving its fist all around. My heart just melted at the sight. I'm in love already! Last night the baby kicked me good and hard several times. I can't wait to meet this precious little person.

For Joy:) finished table and chairs

Chair project

Tristan and I recently purchased a dining table with six chairs for only $25.oo. The cushions on the chairs were in sad shape so I took it upon myself to recover them.
