Wrapping up another month.....

Well nearly another month, May is soon to be over. I can't hardly believe we have finished out half of the year. Here are some highlights....
Hannah Gray graduated from Bob Jones University and we had a few days with our wonderful and sweet friends, Sandra and Pastor Gray. We won't be seeing much of them from now on as Hannah is done with school(grad school in the future). We are planning a trip to D.C. in August.
Mother's Day was very nice for us moms. The guys and the kids took us to our favorite chinese Lieu's for lunch. I got lots of sweet cards, gift card, earrings and a lovely picture of Molly.
Skip and Jess's big 5 year anniversary. They went out for a nice dinner and Papa babysit Molly Anna as Nana had to work.
Memorial Weekend....lazy! Katie's family are at the beach and a little rained out but I am sure it didn't damper the kids fun! And then as you'll see below Freedom Weekend....speaking of FREEDOM...we are so THANKFUL for ALL of our military and two young men come to mind that we pray for, J.T. Elliot is in Afganistan and Martin is in Iraq...we pray for their saftely and protection....I am thankful for my retired men who have served in years past and now our active men including James in Nat'l Guard....we LOVE YOU ALL.

MAY

FREEDOM LOFT WEEKEND! We had Molly Anna and decided to go to Target and were on our way to Brewster's for ice cream when we saw the hot air Balloons lift off. When we got to ice cream we told Molly Anna to "look up" but she wasn't quite sure what we meant so we tipped her back (nearly upside down) and then she was the balloons and she was A W E!!!

Brewster's is across the street from our church and right before our eyes one was landing on the lawn.

I told Audy, "now how was that for a FREE view and no crowds".... LANDED!

Bryson and is active imagination!!!

He's COOL.....

The kids love playing with Molly Anna on the trampoline!! She's even figured out that she has to "jump".

LOVE YOU NANA!

Bryson's first piano recital....him and his serious smiles!!!

SPRING

We are hoping to purchasea new notebook computer in a few weeks and it sure will help with the uploading and blogging. The keys stick and it takes forever for anything to download. I have a few more pictures but it's taken me half an hour just to try and upload them and no sucess......

Whatcha doing Molly Anna?

"Looking for treasure's"

Well it's actually Papa's pepper plant pot!

Molly Anna's first trip to Bruster's for a free ice cream cone. She has no clue what she's waiting for either.....

Isn't she a pro or what!? Our little cutie bug!

HAPPY MAY!

Well Spring has arrived in South Carolina. We have had some warm days but I would say and even amount of warm and cool ones. Everything is in bloom and so pretty and green. Now if we could just get over all the sickness! Audy and I have done pretty good this winter but we both have been fighting off a cold. For those of you who know me I am a ZICAM believer!! As soon as I feel a sniff off I go and hey it works!
Katie's kids have done really good with allergies. Dawson still battle's with asthma but not like he has done in the past. Katie gives him a breathing treatment just about every night. Now Molly Anna is the one who has been sick this past week. She went up North to her cousins birthday party and came home a sick little girl. She ran a fever all week and then on Friday Mommy found a red rash and it was Roseola. The doctor said, "expect a cold or virus after that" and sure enough she had a snotty nose. Papa and Nana kept her yesterday so Mommy and Daddy could at least go to church and get a nap in as they were exhausted!
Then on Saturday I was getting ready for work when I got a call from our dearest friend's daughter, Hannah Gray from Barge (Bob Jones Hospital) asking us if we could take her to the local hospital. She was crossing the street on campus when a car hit her. It's only the Grace of God she is able to tell the story and from what witness's say as well! She came away with some bruises and scrapes and totally embarrassed!!! She graduates on Saturday and after 4 years she'd be the one to not only go to Barge but get hit by a car too!!! Only Hannah!!!!
My job is coming along really good. I am hoping they will trim back a few more hours so I can manage my home and grand children and still have the energy to do the things I need to do. Audy begins his 2PM to 10PM shift June 1 and we will have more time together during that time.
I do have some pic's on my camera and hopefully this week I can post them.
