Wet and Rainy Fishing Trip

We got very wet, we actually dumped the boat, but we had a great time!

Baby Gus

Proud Grammy with Augustus

Proud cousin Ashton with the sweet little guy!

Yes, we are still alive. My new nephew was born on August 18th at 12:18 p.m. He weighed 9lbs. and was 21 inches long. His name is Augustus James DeFore. He is adorable!! Elijah is becoming an awsome big brother. I will post pictures soon.

Please pray for Ashton. She has been diagnosed with JRA (juvenile rhematoid arthritis). She has been taking on medication for 8 weeks and isn't any better, so the doctor added another medication this past week. Please pray that Ashton get's relief soon. Thank you in advance.

Our House

It has been requested that I post pictures of our house. So, here are some different views. One of the pictures is of our beautiful Crape Myrtle bush. The trees are our back yard "The Woods".

4th of July

We had a wonderful July 4th! All of my family and Jeff's family came out to our place. We rode 4-wheelers, the go-cart. The little ones swam in the horse tank ( we don't have our pool set up yet).and jumped on the trampoline. We had lots of great food! Some of us went out on the lake in the boats. Briana has those pictures, so none posted here yet. We set off fire works a large portion of the day and into the night. I think everyone was gone by 11:30p.m. We had such a great time!! Jeff said it was his dream day. Oh, Ricky had the time of his life. Denah and I both took him for rides on the go-cart. He thought that was the greatest!! I just LOVE my family!!!!

OK, I have a really cool video of Derrick pulling Jerod out of the mud. I am only going to post it if I get a comment from someone. I am starting to wonder if anyone looks at this blog but me!?! If so, I'm not going to continue posting. So, if you would please leave a short "Hey!", I would love it. Thanks!!

MUDDIN' FUN

Derrick and his friend Jerod were out muddin' in Jerod's truck. As you can see below they got VERY stuck. Derrick had to call Briana (who was at our house) and have her bring Derrick's truck to pull Jerod out. They finally got Jerod's truck out of the hole and then commenced to a mud fight. Derrick, Jerod, Briana, and Aaron (Bri's boyfriend). They had a great time. Well, that is until Jerod had to start cleaning out his truck that was filled to the seat with muddy water.

More Mud Fun!!!

MUD!!!

This didn't start out as a mud fight, but that's how it ended. Great fun!!!

Below are fish from several of our fishing expeditions. We have been putting out trot lines and bank lines every weekend for the past three weekends. We have a freezer full of fish now. We have a yummy fish fry this past Sunday. Jeff cooks the best fish ever!

FISH!!!!!

I still haven't figured out how to get my text where I want it to be. Oh, well.

I will soon be posting some great pictures from this past weekend. Fish and Mud!! I didn't have my camera so the pictures are on Briana's camera. They are awsome photos and hopefully I can figure out how to do video. We have a super video! Coming soon....

Growing Kittens!

The kittens are three weeks old in these pictures. They are so much fun to watch. Mason, Belah, and Elijah love to hold the kittens when they come out to visit. Soon these little kittens will be climbing out of the box and getting into who knows what!
