Summer time fun!

We have been having a great Summer so far! Here are some pictures to prove it! Actually LOTS of pictures!

Cow Appreciation Day @ our Chick-fil-A was a great way to spend our lunch time.  We will definitely dress up as cows next time to get our free sandwiches.  Hailey’s teacher from last year met us there.  The kids and I really enjoyed catching up with her. Here are some of our crept myrtle blooms from the backyard.  The trees are huge… I almost couldn’t reach any of the flowers. They don’t last very long in the vase, but they are pretty to have in the house. We spent another afternoon out at the Lineberger’s farm.  Lots of fun 4-wheelin’ and dirtbike ridin’…. I actually drove a dirtbike for the first time :) Unfortunately on the 4 wheeler I couldn’t take very many pictures of all that fun!

  Hailey’s chickens are ENORMUS!! Mr. Kerry told us that they in fact are Roosters… all three.  They are the same kind as ‘Foghorn Leghorn’  These bad boys are the kind you raise to eat.  Take a look at those feet!  Just huge! My mom went out to the garden and picked me some Sunflowers.  They were beautiful.  I love a sunflower garden.  They also grow all kinds of veggies and even watermelons!My mom has become so educated in farmin’ :)

I carried this bumblebee around on one of my flowers for a little while…  They don’t use any pesticides on their crops so needless to say my kids were ‘freakin’ out about the bugs :)

Last Sunday we had the teens from church over to our house for the evening Devo.  I did a picnic theme complete with dirt cake for dessert.  Everything was super yummy.

After the devo we all went out back to burn off some of that young energy.  That’s a blurry picture of Ben Lineberger.

Here they are playing some beanbag game, kind of like horse shoes.  One side had Auburn bags and sign… the other Bama.  Joe and Bry are a house divided!

Here’s Bry and Mom, plus Hunter and Luke Lineberger. 

Meshaun and Logan catching the action from the sideline.

A couple of days ago I took the kids out front to ride their bikes… it soon turned into dirt digging and playing around in the grass…. Pedro was begging to be with us and was paranoid we were leaving.  I missing his collar so I just opened the van door and he sat in there for at least an hour :)

He just looked so happy!

Here’s Hailey and Jack diggin’ up some dirt… what is better than that?

 

Uh-oh… my sword broke!!  Don’t worry, mommy fixed it :)

Last night we were getting the kids ready for bed…. I ran to our bathroom and found this on the floor!!  Darren leaves his empty gun belt in there sometimes after he gets off…. Jack thought it was missing something!

P.s.  don’t mind my peeling wallpaper…. project in process.
