duck duck...GOOSE!  Many mornings we wake up to the wild geese.  It is so pretty.

As we open the door and go out side, they head for the water

And they are off!

Dawson loves to help grandma make cookies!  Yum!  Grandma eats the cookie dough too.

Now that is a beater!

July 4th celebration in the rain, go Aaron go

Now it's Brittany's turn

We have had a fun summer having Aaron, Brittany and "little" Dawson live with us.  They are a cute little family.

This is our little family who came to stay with us for a week.  They are such good kids, they just needed a place to call home.  From left to right Robert,Austin, Kelsy,Nathaniel and Audra in the back ground.  We are all snitching cookie dough.

Making a carrot cake for Larry's birthday with lots of help.  Some are chopping, some are measuring, and some are waiting their turn.

Larry's Birthday dinner.  We had Tamale pie for dinner and then carrot cake for dessert

An icey break

This is proof that Darryl and Sandra came to the house again.  It was fun.  They are great guest.  We talked and got caught up on our families. 

Brittany and Aaron moved back to Atlanta but came back for a short visit with Heather and Jerrel.  Heather and Jerrel came for a week.  It was fun to see them again.

Two out of three boys wanted into Grandpa's office.

I love to color

My cute little twins!  They love to feed themselves, so we took the drapes down for the week.  That was easier than worrying about it all week

We had company for a day to swim and Kayak in the lake.  this is Sasha and Ellis

But this is what happened next.  Mike came to the lake to ask Sasha an important question!!!!!

She said maybe for now.  Two days latter she said YES.  Mike was staying with us for a week. It was fun to get to know him.  He met Sasha on line and came from Germany, where he is stationed, to meet her.  Two weeks later....YES.

By the way Ellis, her son said yes right away, Sasha took a few more days.

This is a sucker break, Yum

A hair cut before going back to Kentucky

Bye Bye curls.  They will grow back!  Cute little Porter man

A short buzz for Hudson too

Reagan slept in our room, beside my bed.  Each morning she would make up her bed and had her bears and things arranged so well.  Cute

Reagan and I had ice cream parties....

Chocolate chip on top and strawberry hidden in the cone

I love my Grandpa, Porter said

Hudson wanted in on this deal!

Reagan kept busy on the computer with games.  I made a chalk board on the top of the tv tray

These geese come every day and we feed them corn and bread

This one has a broken or hurt foot and doesn't waddle up the hill the whole way so Larry usually hand feeds it.

We often see 3 or 4 humming birds at each feeder.  They come buzzing in and scare others away.  They are very territorial.  It is fun to watch them.  We have 7 feeders, 4 in the front yard.
