Time with CJ

Samantha was at the beach with friends, and Carly was in Los Angeles on her mission trip, so Mike and I took CJ to the country for some fishing, a picnic and to visit from friends....it was a good time.
CJ caught the first fish (a brim)....
I caught the second (a bass)....

It was so hot, we took a break from fishing for lunch and let Moose run around and we all were too hot to leave the shade, so we packed up and went to Clinton to visit Dennis. His pool was fun for CJ to cool off, so after an hour or so in the pool we headed home with fresh tomatoes and corn on the cob. That's when the fun stopped....I spent the rest of the night shucking and cutting the corn off to freeze. Not fun, but well worth the effort.

Date Night with Master C!

CJ and I had a date last night. He requested I call it a "day" (minus the "t") so it didn't sound so boyfriend/girlfriend...but either way, we had a blast and made memories...

Started at Las Palmas (his fav Mexican Rest)

Then to the arcade for a little "death and destruction"! (achieved...)

Into to the movie to see Karate Kid - it was very good!!

And ended the night with frozen yogurt at Menchie's!!

Love my little man! They grow up so stinkin' fast! Cherish these times when he still actually enjoys spending time with me!

What's been going on....

I see its been several months since I've updated the blog! So sorry...facebook has taken over...but I'll try harder to keep it up to date....to fill everyone in on what's been going on, I'll use pictures....they are worth a thousand words...right?? :)

So, my nephew, Coley, graduated high school and me and the kids were able to get back to GA for that! So much fun having the grandchildren all together and spending time with my brothers and sister! (and my Amazing Mom!) Stan, Cathy, Mom, me and Michael (he was being mean to me first! :))

Samantha graduated High School and starts Louisiana Culinary Institute in the fall!

So proud of our kids and all they do!

Just this morning, I put Carly on a van with 35 other young people from our church. They are heading to the Los Angeles Dream Center to be the hands and feet of Jesus.....so excited for her and that team! They were originally scheduled for Mexico, but the drug wars were too dangerous.....

I'll make a few more trips to Georgia this summer (I hope!) Really miss my family and all that is going on there.....much love to everyone! Keep in touch!

love and miss, cindy
