More pictures from our Atlanta visit. Below Parker has all the kids playing like animals! Go figure!

Everyone watching a little Rio. Thanks Poopaw for picking it out! Having a little fun on the slip n slide before the storms roll in.


Cute Picture of Parker and Daddy.

Parker trying to catch the butterfly on the butterfly bush. Also, they had hummingbirds flying around everywhere. They would fight too! It was a amazing! Have you ever seen an Albino Alligator? Parker told her teacher that only the girls were albino and the teacher was very impressed. She should have asked Parker her source on that! Parker and Bennett and some kind of enormous grouper!

Parker, Bennett & Coco taking a ride.

More pictures of Bennett working hard.

The day we left a found a turtle on my run. It kepts the kids very busy while I got everything all packed up. Langley wasn't quite sure what to think about it.
Parker and Bennett very excited about their new pet for the morning.

Like I said it kept them very busy!

A couple of weeks ago the kids and I took one last long trip to Centralia to visit with Coco & Poppa Jack. We had a wonderful and relaxing trip as you will see. The weather was warm but it was perfect for being lazy in the pool! Below Langley and Parker are coloring and drawing which are two of their favorite things to do. I will have to scan so of Parker's art for all of y'all to see.

Parker being silly by the pool Langley took to the water like a little fish on this visit. As you can see she became daring and went down the slide. Being taking a rest in a sling float.


Langley coloring once again. She has learned what to do when a camera comes along. It is very cute but of course I'm biased!

Coco and Bennett taking a late afternoon golf cart ride around the yard.


Parker and Bennett feeding Langley. It was pretty funny!

Loving her ruffles!Trying to get a cute shot of all of them....it is more difficult than you think! Poppa Jack & Parker having fun in the pool Lindsey Jo & Langley having a ball! Poppa Jack put Bennett and his four wheeler to work moving limbs from the yard into the pasture. I got up one morning to run and this little deer was in the pool. As soon as I woke up dad to help I went down and he made his way out. Langely started to wear goggles on this trip too! Langley and Parker chasing bubbles. I have cute video of them dancing to ABBA too but I have to get it off of Coco's camera! I hope Langley grows up to have her sisters long and lean legs but it isn't looking so good right now! The way Bennett & Langley dug into this bag of goldfish you would think that I didn't feed them but obviously that isn't true! The whole gang watching a Western Hallmark movie. The Monday before we left we went to the St. Louis Science Center (except for Langley) and had a great time. Below Bennett is building his skyscraper with Coco. The children and I before we went into the "Sea Rex" Omnimax movie. Very fun but it made me a little dizzy having to look in all directions. A few more pictures to follow this post!
