So I only have about 10 minutes if that to update my blog, but I know if I don't do it I'm never going to get to it. I don't want to not post all these fun pictures of the much anticipated visit from Grandma and Grandpa. We loved having them visit. So much so that we definitely had good bye pains after they left. The kids are not praying please bless dad to make money and bless that we can go to the reunion. I'm not sure how those prayers are all going to work out. Some times my kids prayers make me a little nervous. These little tangents are what cause me to not be able to get this blog written in 10 minutes!
Pictures are all out of order, but will have to do for this post! This is before the downpour at the beach! We were all soaked after the downpour.
Lunch time with the kids. Yes you can talk if you have visitors.
It is actually a nice school with nice people just a lot different than anything I've ever experienced in the West.
I've finally learned to just appreciate the good, and try to focus on the things I really like.
Grandma and Grandpa took a lot of the following pictures.
We went and visited the USS Alabama! Located in Mobil Alabama
Captain Hayden
Captain Kara
Captain Halle
Captain Grandpa
We did not purposefully leave Kelton out. Brent and Kelton surprisingly were lost for about half of our tour. I know your probably very surprised that we would lose those 2. I mean they are both so good about not getting lost.....NOT! Next time we won't make them partners.( :

Me taking pictures of the kids getting their picture from Grandpa!
Kara and Kelton! I have to say this little thing that Kelton said the other day because I thought it was funny! Kelton asked me "Mom do you want to be a teacher?" I said, "I kind of want to be a teacher." He said, "Mom it's hard though....yelling at the kids....loosing your voice!"
Brent and the kids doing that slow motion thing. What is that movie?? Darn it I never can remember. Oh Hayden informed me they were being Cool guys don't look at explosions, they just walk away. Oh and also its not a movie just something that they do in almost every movie according to my very smart 12 year old boy!
O.K here is the right tank! This is the tank we meant to take our picture in front of the American tank!
Happy Birthday Kara!!!!!
We are so blessed to have Kara in our family! We love her soooo much!
I love how happy Halle was about everything and how Kelton just pops in so cute for the picture!
Kara got some legos which was great entertainment for the boys! They couldn't help themselves. They just had to put it together for her.
A new swim suit too!
Halle and Kara both love the scarf! Who would have known I have girls that like to be stylish.
Kara loves animals!!!!!! She also got a cute card with some money from Manny! Thank you Manny! We celebrated a few days early so I don't have that picture in this bunch! Thank you everyone for making Kara's birthday soooo great! She got lots of birthday songs and wishes and she felt very loved. We have wonderful family!!!!
I did the lovely writing and the sprinkles. The yummy part was done by Grandma. The decor. was done by me! Am I talented or what?
Kelton wanted me to make sure I got this picture of him with Kara. I made sure I did especially after watching a video of Halle where my little Keltonator kept saying get me mom and his mom never videoed him. Ugh I felt so bad!
