Important Stuff!!!

WHERE IN THE WORLD HAVE I BEEN???

Kinda MIA on the blog I would say...Seriously, do I have ANYTHING to do other than BLOG. Well maybe just a few minor things....

For the most part, I am down to only working two days a week now and my computer is at my sign shop so my internet access is somewhat limited. On the days that I work, I kinda have to actually, um, work....sometimes. Yeah, I could drive up here on an off day just to blog...or NOT.

I have been super busy on my "off days" with VERY important activities.

Swimming with my boys, eating snowcones of various colors (because that's what Colby orders by...color, not flavor), staying in our pajamas all day, watching Colby get covered from head to toe in mud, holding my precious baby (he's recently becoming a bit of a Momma's boy...yeah, I'm LOVIN IT!), scrapbooking, sliding down a kid's water slide fully clothed (no pictures, lol) you know, IMPORTANT STUFF!!!

Anyways - enough rambling - I'll get straight to the "evidence" of these important things!!!

FUN ON THE 4TH OF JULY

Sweet Sugars
Big Brother taking care of Eli
Paul
Presley
Levi

Claire

Mikah

Braden

Everyone loves to take care of Baby Eli!

I REALLY think Levi is wanting a little brother...or sister...or how about ONE OF EACH!!! That sounds like a perfect idea!

Fireworks on the Sabine River

Eli was mesmerized by the fireworks!

------------------------------------------------------------

Colby had already gotten a short haircut for the summer but Daddy decided to make it VERY short! He LOVED it!!!

------------------------------------------------------
Some random pictures of Eli and Poppy

-----------------------------------------------------------

We had a Sunday School Party/Watermelon Bash at church. Eli rode in this special little car.

And he was worn out!

---------------------------------------------------

Yeah you know that mud thing I was talkin' about?!?

Even this pretty little girly girl got dirty!

And again...I think he loves the mud, what do you think?

But what little boy doesn't?

--------------------------------------------------------------

Daddy got a new loader!

So there ya have it - a recap. I'll try not to be so long in posting again. But, you know, I have IMPORTANT THINGS to do! Haha!

Hope you all have a very blessed week!

Love,

Casey

P.S. Do you know how good God is? If not you should really look him up! I think He's pretty awesome!!!

Family Pictures

We had family pictures made yesterday with Snell Photography!

Here's a sneak peek!

Let me know which one is your fave!

Love, Casey

So much to share...so little time!

We have been SOOOO busy!

All Star Signs has FINALLY gotten very busy lately and for that I am soooo thankful!!!! (Just this week, I was able to pay a personal bill with sign shop money for the first time - and it was a big one! - you better believe Shad was super excited about that!)

BUT, with all of my time going to making signs and corralling kiddos, that doesn't leave much time for blogging!

So here goes the past month or so...in pictures!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eli's first take on baby food...

BEFORE

Not so sure about this!

Big brother helping!

I'm lovin it!

Big brother, the comedian! He loves to make him laugh!
And AFTER...what a mess!

------------------------------------------------------------

"Workin'" in the garden with Papa!

Havin' too much fun to be called "work!"

---------------------------------------------------------

Colby started swimming lessons on May 18 with Mrs. Teresa. He went everyday for two weeks and then on the last day he had a "Show Day." He did so good! I was a little nervous because I couldn't stay but after a few days he got used to the idea of us being apart for a while and I think he enjoyed it a little too much! :) He was sad when the two weeks came to an end!

Getting ready to leave the house...

On our way...

He was a little nervous about this at first! But by the end of the week, Mrs. Teresa had worked her magic and he wasn't scared a bit!

Floating on his back...

Jumpin' in!

"When's it gonna be my turn?!?"

Completely...

...fearless!

So much fun!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!!!!

Claire Grace

Yep - I can drive! Ha!

What YOU lookin' at?!?!

Claire & Colby

Uncle Brent's so funny!

Miss Mikah!

Gettin' a lil' sleepy!

???

Matching buddies!

Is he handsome or what?!?

Too many drivers!

It was a fun day at the lake!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just a random picture of a precious baby!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well you know, since Colby is a pro swimmer and all, we had to show Papa & Granny at their neighbor's pool! And guess who got in? Papa hadn't been in a pool in at least 30 years but you know, grandchildren make you do things you never thought you would!

And I felt the urge to get in too...and since I wasn't prepared...I got in fully clothed! :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope you all have a super blessed week! I hope to be more talkative on the next post!

Love,

Casey
