Proofread???? What is that?



I guess I should proofread before I hit publish post. Ashlee posted the pictures on her facebook page, not a blog. And since I posted again, I'll include more pics!

HOT HOT HOT





I can't believe how HOT it has been the past few days! Clint is in Denver for a retreat with some people from church. They are involved in Dry Bones, a ministry that helps homeless youth in the Denver area, so they invited Clint to go with them. He met yesterday with the attorney for their homeless population and exchanged information about what they do. When I talked to him last night, it was 'cool' so I probably would have been freezing. The lows were suppose to be in the upper 30's. He'll be home Sunday and it won't be a minute too soon. I'm glad he got to go, but I HATE when we are apart.
I downloaded some new pictures of Carson that Ashlee had posted on her blog. Clint took our camera with him so I can't upload any that I have taken. He will be 7 weeks old Sunday! Ashlee and Wyatt have 'date night' on Fridays so I get to keep him. Makes my entire week!!!!
Sorry it has been so long since I posted. Things are NUTS around here. The end of the school year always is.......

Mississippi is a long way away

Well, we just got home (yes, it is 5:30 in the morning) from a trip to Oxford. It started with a singing in Little Rock on Saturday night. Clint and several members of the Garnett praise team went to sing at Jerome's church (former praise and worship minister at Garnett). There were several other groups there too. The group called Purpose was fantastic! We are definitely going to get a CD of them. Then, after the singing, we went on to Oxford. We pulled in about 1:30 or so. Clint and I slept in and then went to lunch with Uncle David, Aunt Carolyn and Lelia. The guy who started McAlister's Deli has a place there. Right now I'm too tired to remember the name of it (it is not McAlisters). We saw MamaKin at the Care Center. She looks about the same, but really didn't seem very responsive. It was a huge shock from the last time I saw her before she fell. She finally recognized Lelia and Clint, but I don't think she figured out who I was.
On the way to Little Rock, we stopped by to see my family from Mountainburg. They were having a yard sale in Butch's company parking lot. He showed Clint and Lelia his office that looks like a wildlife museum. I can say that I have actually seen a javalina. Of course, it was dead and stuffed, but it counts. I'm looking forward to the family reunion in June.
I have new pictures of Carson Cole, but don't have them downloaded yet and I'm too tired right now. Maybe later today.

Maybe someday I'll figure this out





I need a tutorial about how to create a cute blog and post more than one photo. So, here goes the picture of Carson Cole that I want to put on the last post.

Headed Out Again


Clint and I are headed to Little Rock on Saturday and then on to Oxford Saturday night. The former Praise & Worship minister, Jerome, is having a praise 'thing?' on Saturday night and asked some of the members to come and sing at his church. Since we are more than half way to Oxford, we are going to go after the singing is over and spend time with Clint's Uncle David and MamaKin. She'll be 103 in May and has recovered well from her fall back at Christmas time. We are going to stop in Mountainburg on our way to LR and see my family. I have attached a picture of Carson and one of the Barron gang from Lindsay's blog.
Clint bought me a camera for my birthday. I haven't Carson Cole since Monday so I don't have any new pictures. I had a touch of the stomach crud that went around my class. No matter how much we wash our hands, we seem to catch almost EVERYTHING! I'm going to hopefully get to see him tomorrow before we leave so I can get lots of pictures to show off.
