Jamey celebrated his 34th birthday on June 11. He is another year older and wiser. In honor of him and his favorite team (which will remain nameless), we got him a purple and gold cookie cake......uh-oh, did we forget to have the cake lady put some pansies on there? Just joking, congrats to team which will remain nameless for winning the baseball national championship....if it can't be Arkansas, I guess Jamey's favorite team will do.
On our annual, LA BCM Director's Family retreat, Jonah discovered his love of fishing. After getting some basic instruction and a free fishing rod (Thanks, Steve), Jonah caught more than 10 fish. They may not have been the biggest fish, but we're confident he's well on his way to being in the Bassmaster Classic someday!!
We spent last week visiting Jamey's family in central Louisiana. I'm pretty sure we descended into some level of Hades, cause it was sooooooooooo HOT down there!!! Apart from almost bursting into flames, we had a great time!! Many thanks to my brother-in-law Jeffery and his aunt for allowing us to come pick some blueberries. We picked around 2 1/2 gallons of blueberries. I am glad that at least some of us love blueberries, cause I'm pretty sure they are going to be in EVERY thing we eat for the next couple of months. Does anyone know of any good blueberry recipes?
Seth is proudly displaying the few blueberries he actually gathered for us. The kids mostly had fun picking them and eating them (and throwing them).
Here's Abram looking cute as ever. He just got through eating an icy pop that his B.B. gave him. What kid doesn't love an icy pop on a hot day? Wish this guy would start walking on his own. For now, he is content with walking around pushing a little toy walker.
Once again, its time for a picture of all B.B.'s grand kids. B.B. had this idea to put the kids on the stepping stones behind her house. If you didn't notice, that's B.B. holding up Abram in the right corner. If some of the kids look a little forlorn, its because they are about to melt into a liqui-kid puddle due to the intense heat........did I mention it is hot here in Louisiana???
Here is the woman-picture (plus Addison.....and baby Jack)--
Here is the kid-picture (almost time for a bigger couch at Julie's house)--
And just like that, the trip to Atlanta was over. Wish we could have stayed longer and seen more people but the kids had to get back to the grind in Shreveport. Their jobs are very demanding!
Don't worry though. They also know how to relax and have a good time. There's nothing like kicking back at the end of a long day with your cowboy hat on your head...and your plastic whistle around your neck! Can't get any better!!
