Cheney & Pop had fun playing in the water.

We can lay in the sun anywhere.

You might be wondering: Can we get anymore "redneck" than this?

11
The answer is YES!! Chandler was wondering around the campsite in her panties.....drinking sweet tea....YEP, that is redneck!!

On Saturday night, the campground has a hayride for the kids. Luckily, Heather agreed to go with C & C. Thanks Heather!!

PSF-Shaving Cream

My kids LOVE to go to their MeMe & Pop's house. They like it for many reasons.....but the best reason is because they get to have FUN!!
4
The other night, they played with shaving cream. Who knew that shaving cream could be so fun? Maybe you should try it....get the cheapest kind, put your swimsuit on, and have a blast! It washes off easily!!

John Deere Green?

Cheney has been wanting to dye his mohawk a color. He wanted it to be blue, but he found out at soccer camp that he was on Team Brazil so on Monday night we dyed it green.

Here he is with the dye.....waiting....

All done....it didn't turn out as green as he wanted--because I wouldn't let him bleach his hair 1st before we put the dye on it. In the sunlight, it looked pretty green though!!

Swimming Lessons 2009

If you know anything about C & C, then you know that they LOVE the water.....so much, I think they have gills! They had swimming lessons for the past two weeks & did a fantastic job....both of them tested & moved up a level. Cheney has mastered the freestyle & backstroke. He has to work on the breaststroke to be ready for next year. Chandler is starting to learn the freestyle & can dive to the bottom of the pool to pick up rings. She was the youngest child swimming this time. Her teacher & the owner were very impressed with her abilities.

Getting ready for the last lesson!!

Today, marks the end of VBS 2009. We have had fun learning about Jesus with our friends & family. This picture is of Chandler & her 2nd cousin, Ashtyn. I am so thankful that my family is so close & my children can grow up around them. And I am thankful that we live in a country where we can worship Jesus!!
