Phone Photos

When you see Josie in her little bed all sweet and asleep with her Bible that she has been reading before she drifted peacefully off into dreamland you can almost make out the halo that must be above her little soft brown locks. Don't let that sweet look fool you. My iTunes is currently playing a Elvis tune from 1963 that is closer to the truth- (You're The) Devil In Disguise.


Lucy. I don't get many photos of Lucy and I kind of liked this one. You may be wondering who Lucy is and thinking this looks remarkable like Jamie. It is Jamie I just call her Lucy because sometimes it is nice to have a kids name that doesn't start with J and for whatever reason Lucy just works for me for Jamie.


This is not the greatest picture of Jalen but it really captures him. Jalen does everything at 110% and that even includes eating grits at Cracker Barrel in Arkadelphia, AR after HU beat Henderson in football a couple of weeks ago.


I never know what Josie will be up to when I get home from work. Thursday when I drove up the boys were playing basketball and Josie wearing a pink tutu and dark blue tights and pink tennis shoes was sitting in the middle of her hula hoop meditating. Where do 4 yr olds learn to meditate?

Branson- Church of Christ Weekend

Two weekends ago we went to Branson for the annual Church of Christ weekend @ Silver Dollar City. Here is the mandatory group photo of the kids at the sign at the park entrance. Just as we were entering the park on Saturday morning only 4 of our 7 season passes scanned. The elderly lady working the gate decided to help us out and issue us new cards that the scanners would read. I am not sure she had ever seen that computer that would issue the new cards but she was going to concur it and get us new cards that would scan. It only took 20 minutes.


Jackson and I stopped and watched the glass blower make a mug while the rest of our gang went through the gift shop.


Jackson loves the roller coaster in the kids area of the park. I think he rode it 4 or 5 times. This year there is a huge new kiddie ride area at SDC.


Julie took this photo of Jenna and I and the Krehs as we came back to the station after riding WildFire. Needless to say Jackson didn't ride this one because he doesn't ride anything that goes upside down.


Josie had a lot of fun hanging out with her bud Maddie Grace Watson. On Sunday morning after we had church with our group from College Church we went to the hotel lobby to get some breakfast. They had GRITS. We ate them out of Grits a couple of times. On one of the trips to get the boys more Grits they sat back down at the table and they started fighting over whose plastic spork was whose. Josie was watching as I sorted out whose spork was whose and all of the sudden she said "Boys- Build a bridge and get over it." Where do 4 yr olds learn things like that?


They built a bridge and got over the sporks.





Silver Dollar City had Mums everywhere for the Fall Fest. These were my favorite mum photos.


While the kids were riding the Tea Cups I was shooting the flowers and I found this Butterfly that looked like a dead leaf stuck to the side of a tree. We had an awesome weekend in Branson and I hope we get to go a couple of more times this year.
