A not so lazy Sunday...

On Sunday, after church, we have started a new family tradition. We have been going over to my Mom's and spending the evening with them. I just don't have much time during the week to visit, between taking care of kids,work,school, running errands,housework, etc.


What has amazed me the most is how time flies the older I get. I know that time really is the same 24/7 as it was 100 years ago,but for some reason the days seem to fill up and pass faster than when I was young. Am I the only one who feels that way? Surely it's not just me.

Z is hooked on Memaw's hammock.

He just wanted to swing & swing.

I really believe he would have stayed in

it all night. But,Brookelyn wanted her turn.

I think we are going to  have to get one of these for our house.

Don't you wonder what they are talking about?

Brookelyn is talking up a storm now.

She can say tons of words but most of the time

she speaks her own language...lol

I think she likes sweet tea.

Her mommy usually doesn't allow caffeine

but she gave in this time.

Is there really anything more better than a good

southern sweet tea on a hot sunny day?

We like our sweet tea around here.

Southern Style Sweet Tea

I buy the family sized ice tea brew bags.

In a boiler I add two bags to

about 2 1/2 quarts of water.

I bring it to a boil.

Once it starts boiling,I let it for about a minute,

and then  I turn off the stove and let the tea set

in the boiler about 15 minutes or so.

I discard the bags and pour the tea

into a gallon sized jug.

I stir in 2 cups of sugar

and fill the jug up.

I put the jug in the fridge until it's cold.

Then,I fill a drinking glass full of ice

 and I fill it up with tea.

Add a couple of lemons

and you have southern style sweet tea.

Brookelyn and her Mommy "Anna".

I didn't plan to have pics made of me.

I try to stay behind the camera.

(My mom & I)

My Parents

Bless them Lord.

Mom and Anna

Two of my Girls-Anna & Ashley

(Samantha was at home taking it easy,

Katie was at Barrett's house

& Jon was at a friend's)

So that's why I have no pics

of them.

Our little monkey...she got her toes from her meme...lol

I don't know who she called....hehehe

But, it looks like they had a good conversation:)

Notice everyone in the background in the pic above? I took mom on Saturday to buy her very first computer! We've been trying to teach her and daddy how to use it. Corey & Anna were teaching them how to look up vacation rentals ,because we are all going to take a VERY  much needed family vacation within the next few weeks. I really think it would be good for all of us...especially my parents.

Hubby cut up a watermelon and I think Brookelyn kinda liked it...a whole lot of like ...lol

These next few pics cracked me up once I got home and went through my disk.

Watch Brookelyn's face...lol

mmmmmmmm......

Elbows & all.

I think my superman liked it too.

Did I ever tell you that I love my family? Oh,I do so much :)

I have been blessed.

God has been good to me.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,and he will direct thy paths. ~Proverbs 3:5-6
