Our neighbor passes away...

Our neighbor Butch Roach, passed away on Wednesday July 16th. He had cancer and a bad heart. Butch and Linda were great neighbors. He use to come over to our back fence and give our dogs, Ginger, Thelma and Louise treats all the time. We are really going to miss him. Aunt Trudy babysat Kaylee so we could attend the funeral. Kaylee had a wonderful time with her. She brought Kaylee home and Kaylee was soooo tired she went to sleep as soon as her head touched the bed. Dylan is STILL not home. His dad picked him up from Toni's house and they are hanging out together and going to see the new Batman movie. He is not going to get home until around 9:00 tonight. Mark and I really don't know what to do with ourselves without Dylan and Kaylee here. We are watching the "Spiderwick Chronicles" and relaxing until our babies come home...

Grandma and Grandpa come for a visit...

Dylan is staying at his best friends house in Chesterfield until Saturday. I miss him so much. I don't know what I am going to do when he gets older and moves out. I may have to go with him...LOL

Kaylee fell down this morning and now has a boo boo above her lip. She has become quite the handfull.

Grandma and Grandpa came over this evening and brought dinner. We have not seen them in a while so we gave Grandpa his belated 70th Birthday present. We gave him the Grandfather- Willow Tree. Anyone who knows me, knows that I love them. They have a special one for any occasion, family member, season...My gosh, I sound like a commercial!

Here are some pics of our evening at home...

A visit from Aunt Mary Anne...

My dads younger sister, Mary Anne and her son James came for a visit and to meet Kaylee. They live in Maryland and had never met her before. We had a very nice day. Aunt Peggy was here for the weekend too. Kaylee even said "Peggy", well, I understood her!!LOL

I did get to go with my sisters to the movies to see "Sex in the City". It was GREAT!!! I loved that show. It is definitly a buyer. I almost forgot...Mark and Dylan found a kitten hiding under Dylan's skateboard ramp. They NOT me, decided we need to keep it. Just great! Something else I have to take care of.

I had my doctors appointment today and I have to have a Hysterectomy on August 11th. I am still in shock that at the age of 42, I am having to do this. For some reason, I thought it was for women in their 50's or 60's. The doctor said I can keep my ovaries...YIPPEE!

Here are some pics of this past weekend with Aunt Mary Anne and also our new kitten, "Tater".

Happy July 4th!

Happy 4th of July to everyone! My sister Trudy had a cookout and some friends over. We had a good time. Kaylee was adorable in her I love the USA dress and was the life of the party. We missed the fireworks though since Kaylee is ready to go to sleep by 7:30pm and Mark had to go to bed so he could get up and go to work.

My very good friend Jennifer, had her precious baby boy last week. His name is Myles Harrison.

We are looking forward to going on vacation on the 26th of this month. We are to Gray, Tennessee to a lake house. This will be our first trip since coming home from China. Here are a few pics of this past week...

Kaylee says I love you, dog and some other new words now. We understand what she is saying, but not sure if anyone else would...LOL
