hours of fun for two boys.....

i get asked all the time what there is to do in such a small town.....well, not much. the other day the boys caught a locust, tied fishing line to it and played with it for hours. it was pretty funny how it flew round and round in circles, then would land on their shoulder. it was like a pet kite.

disclaimers:: these are just some snaps for the grandparents, not any fabulous photography....and the boys totally dressed themselves, and i have no idea where they got their sense of fashion, and also it appears that asher forgot his glasses for the day and obviously his mother didn't notice either, and to me this seemed like good clean boy fun and the bug was not harmed (much).

Asher:::bird whisperer

my mom took these pictures when she was keeping the boys for a weekend for me a while back. she said asher sat so still and patiently waiting for the hummers to get used to him. one of the hummers flew up and looked right into his glasses then tried to drink from his nose. how many people can say they had their nose picked by a hummingbird. i love that they make such precious memories every time they are with their mema!

boys golf tournament

Fowlkes boys take first and third

so glad Robert could get away from work for long enough to come coach the boys. asher was extremely serious and competitive (so surprising i know). i don't know much about golf, but his swing looks beautiful, so fluid, so effortless....

in the top right pic, Addi is laughing because when he was getting ready to hit a fish jumped, loved his expressions when he was hitting...giving it his all. but his favorite part of the game...washing his ball, every hole, every time he got a chance....he was quite proud of his shiny ball. only thing better was getting a shiny medal to go along with it.

headed out of town for a few days again....so camp pics when i return.

i'm so ashamed....

i really can't believe how long i've gone without blogging. it's not that i don't have anything to blog about, or even that i don't have any time, and you know that i have got oodles of pictures....i just haven't been feeling it lately. so now i'm in the mood and have lots to share....completely out of order and random and unorganized, i really don't know what has gotten into me. crazy summer days i suppose.

so first up---church camp sweeties---

my favorite picture from the whole week....it melts my soul, she's looks like an angel....she is an angel
"ya'unt beans..."

my sil and my great niece....she loves her Grammie, I love her piggies

and her metalic eyes, so pretty!

my oldest brother....who still calls me little sis and i love it....love him, miss him, so happy to spend time with him.....a man everyone should know! weird to say, but i'm so glad he had cancer, he lives life to the fullest everyday and is such an inspiration to me. (and yes, i'll give him my kidney if he needs it!)

father/daughter tea party....love that we drink tea out of a trash barrel that has been mixed with a big 'ole stick!

the most luscious lips ever belong to my great nephew Jake...so smoochable!

ok, enough for tonight...more camp fun, painting the bell and slip and slide. and some of Asher and Addi playing in a golf tournament. but the boys need to be tucked in and tuckered out! i promise to come back soon.
