Our New Yard Man!

Billy and I have discovered a new use for grandchildren! Short little grand babies are great for picking up sticks. They are low to the ground so they don't have to bend so far to get the sticks and they get really excited when they find another stick!!! Much cheaper than hiring a yard man! And ... much more entertaining!

Hair cut

"

I took Evan to get his 2nd haircut yesterday after school. I asked him did he want to get a haircut and he said "yes". He climbed up in the chair just fine but he started looking more and more upset as the haircut progressed. He was crying by the time Glenda got finished but he sat really still and let her cut it. Of course, he immediately stopped when she gave him a lollipop! He looks cute with his little boy haircut!
And ... yes!... I did get Kim's permission before I took him for his haircut!
Evan had a blast at our house yesterday afternoon. Billy and I took him outside and I thought he would just drop from exhaustion because he ran so much. First, he ran back and to from the drive way to the pond and threw rocks into the pond. The child has an arm! Then he had to go down the slide about a million times. After that he just wanted to run and us chase him til he fell. He would laugh and then get up and go again. We finally got him in the house to take a bath and we thought he would just conk out after that. But no... he had to read every book we have and still was not asleep when Kim came to get him at 9. Could it have been the lollipop and the ice cream that someone gave him????

Airplane Swing

Billy hung a chain for my hammock swing chair yesterday and we discovered that it also works great for the airplane swing we got Evan at the arts and crafts fair in Soperton before he was ever born. He's finally big enough to swing on it so he got to try it out for the first time today!

Tree Dedication

Evan came over for a visit today. Kim wasn't feeling very well so we took Evan to church with us the kept him most of the day. After lunch he enjoyed trying out my new hammock swing on the front porch. Billy and I finally got it hung yesterday. He enjoyed swinging in it until he realized he was about to fall asleep then he was ready to get out and go. We sat in the rocker on the front porch and read a couple of books until he fell asleep. While he was sleeping I got to try out my hammock chair. It was great!

We had a tree dedication ceremony this afternoon for Evan's tree. Evan helped plant the sign that Billy and I made for his tree he planted last weekend.

We called mama and daddy and got them over for the sign planting!

Evan wanted to make sure the sign was level!

Planting Pecan Trees

Evan helped his granddaddy plant some pecan trees this Saturday. Here's Evan dressed in his gardening clothes. Aunt Coo Coo gave him the boots!

The men folks are ready to plant those trees.



There was much grunting and groaning as they dug the holes. Evan helped fill up a bucket with water to pour on the trees. He and Billy went into the pump house to get the water out of the spigot in there. As they went in the door Billy told Evan, "This is man's work." Evan repeated what Billy said then turned around and waved at me and said, "Bye bye"! I just died laughing!


At last,one tree planted! Quite a few more to go!
