Unooooooooooooo!

Unoooooooo! Unoooooooo! Unooooooo! That is the chant I keep hearing from Grant's room. He is in bed, but instead of crying or calling Mommy, he is saying Unooooooo! Can you guess what game we have been playing every night. We all love to play UNO... well Grant and Grady prefer to steal the cards and run, but we all have a good time. Actually, Grant has decided this week that he would really start talking... the first word was "pirate," much to Grammie's delight, other word's added this week were "Uno (obviously), Grammie, Dada, Foe Foe (which he thinks is hysterical and giggles every time he says it) Me Me, Aunt Grace, Banana, BABY! (he yells when he says baby)"

Soccer camp was a success. This is a photo of Todd and Sean on the last day. Todd had a great evaluation and only came away with two injuries... jammed toe and bruised thumb... Dat Dat and I consider that a major success....





So, Friday evening, I was at the mall and received a phone call. A frantic phone call. Look what Todd Sr. killed. We think it is a water moccasin because we have lots around here... if you can tell any better let us know... but this little bad boy was IN OUR HOUSE!!!!! It tried to attack Dat Dat when he was getting a diaper for Grant! Now you have to understand, Dat Dat feels about snakes the way I feel about frogs... at least his is not completely irrational... since a snake can kill you... (you do know poison dart frogs can kill you too, so my fears are not completely unfounded, but we won't get into that today.) My brave husband took care of him though... notice his head is no longer attached to his body. We have now also conducted some sort of strange voodoo ritual involving moth balls on our back porch. Apparently it keeps the snakes away... maybe it will work on toads too... lets hope. Anyway, again, my husband is my HERO!


Dat Dat, Grady, Grant, Robin and I are currently missing Todd Jr. He has gone to Montgomery to spend the week with Aunt Rebecca and Uncle David. (I love this photo of Beeka Beeka and Grady) They have tons of fun stuff planned to do. We met Beeka Beeka in Dothan at the Craker Barrel to hand off our eldest and enjoyed visiting and had a wonderful lunch... I wish we had thought to take a photo of what we had... my goodness the chicken was good!


Here is another Great photo... Beeka Beeka better watch out once our other boys get old enough to visit, they will take up her entire summer!









I HAD to include this photo as well... WOW... as Grady would say... "Todd is not cute, Mommy, he is handsome!" We miss you, sweetie and we hope you have a FANTASTIC time! Give Beeka Beeka and David a hug and kiss for us! Love you!
