Swim Parties!

Jacob's birthday is in February which is not an ideal time for swimming! Being the water lover that he is, he has always wanted a swim party for his birthday, so this year we did not give him a party in February. We waited until July so he could swim. The parties were very last minute because when we went to Dallas for Emma's party we realized that we would probably not be going back to the Dallas area again before school starts, so we had a swim party for Jacob at Peepaw and Granma's. Thomas, Sarah, Uncle Robert and Aunt Gwen came to swim with Jacob and he had a blast! After we left Peepaw and Granma's house we went to Nana and Poppa's so Jacob could swim there too. He was very excited about 2 swim parties! We are hoping to have one more swim party at Windy and Bubba's house (in case you haven't figured it out we are just hitting up all the people with pools!!) so Jacob can swim with Blake and Carter. We have had a lot of fun so far, and maybe next year more people can come and swim with Jacob during the summer!

Aunt Renee and Uncle Rowland's Wedding

Here is a video of A. Renee and U. Rowland's wedding. I hope this works...I found a new website I am trying out. The video is about 3:18 long. Enjoy!

They Got Hitched!

Well, Aunt Renee married Uncle Rowland....AGAIN!...this past Tuesday. I was very happy to be there, and I got to video the wedding from the vows to the end. After the wedding we had delicious cake, wonderful coffee punch (made by Brin), and tasty chicken salad. Apparently the cake and punch will also be served at Brin's wedding and this was just a "trial run" for her! Glad it went well! After that we went behind Mamaw Duckworth's house to the pond and had a skeet shooting contest (which Megan forced me to be a part of, and I looked like a fool), fishing contest, and a homemade ice cream contest. Brin won the skeet shooting contest (she hit 10 out of 10), and I believe she won the ice cream contest also. So she got a rifle and $50. Wow! We ate bar-b-que and listened to some good ole' live country music. It was a lot of fun! We didn't stay for the fireworks because we had to drive home, but I am sure they were very pretty! Thanks Aunt Renee and Uncle Rowland for the good time on the 4th of July! Have a great marriage!

We're Remodeling Our House!

Last summer we remodeled the front room of our house and we now have a foyer and nicer living area. We had sooooo much fun remodeling that we decided to remodel our back room this summer! We split the back room between the window, put a wall up and moved the washroom to the opposite side of the room. Now I have a really big walk-in closet/dressing room and a much bigger washroom. We are still working on it, but I love it already. Next we will be fixing our bathroom and it will be a bit bigger than it is now....without all the mold!! YAY! The kids helped Ben push the wall out where our new closet door is! They thought that was LOTS of fun! I even get air conditioning in my closet! And my computer desk will go in there too! It is very nice!

This is just a trial run to see if I can get videos to play on my blogsite. Annalisa was singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, then her brothers joined in. Since they found out I can make videos with my new camera, they have been little actors for me! I viewed this and it is choppy if you don't let it completely stream before you push play. I hope it works for you!
