Berries & Peaches

On Sunday morning we headed to Greer Farms in Daingerfield for some berry picking. There are several rows of blackberry's and blueberries for you to pick. You can pick as many as you want or at least as long as you can stand the heat! Addy had all of her equipment and was geared up to start picking berries! She loved picking the berries and reminded us not to pick the red ones only the black ones!She did a great job picking out the big ones! Her and Nana had buckets full.

She got a little tired and hot so decided to take a ride in the wagon and pick the blueberries. After picking a few she had Pops take her on a tour of the berry patch.

These are all the blueberries I picked and I even made homemade blueberry muffins. I hate that I did not get a picture of them. Jeremy said he liked them but I really like them in a box better! haha

After picking berries we headed over to Pittsburg for some peaches. Addy loves it because right when you walk in they give you a free peach.But what she really wanted was some ice cream. She had strawberry, while I had the twist of peach and strawberry and Pops had just peach. It was really good and perfect for a hot day.
We headed over to the pond to see this. Only in East Texas would you see this.

The rest of the story!!!

So on Sunday morning we headed to Longview to do some shopping and take Jeremy along with my dad out to eat for Father's Day!! We did some shopping for Addy's birthday coming up and then headed to eat the Butcher Shop! yum yum they have the best burgers!! After eating we headed over to the pet shop. I was thinking we were going to buy one big fish to replace Tiger but things didn't happen that way. We come home with 3 new pets!!!! Yes 3!

Below we have our fist pet we picked out a snail! She loves snails since she learned about them in school. I have to say he is really neat and I like him as well.

Johnny and June had to check out the friends they were gettingAs you can see our other 2 pets are a frog at the top and a sucker fish on the far right side. Addy does not call him a sucker fish but she calls him her "poo poo" fish since he cleans the tank!!Addy took this picture of her snail!

Our hope our new pets enjoy us as much as we enjoy them!!

On another sad note we woke up this morning to find Johnny didn't make it either. I don't know how daddy is going to explain this one

Such a sad day.....

For the past couple of weeks our Koi fish "Tiger" has been sick! We do the day was coming. My Aunt Sheri gave these 3 fish (Tiger, Johnny & June) to Addy back in November. These fish belonged to my little cousin Leslie whom passed away. So with them being Lu's they were even more special to us. As you can tell by the pictures Tiger was huge. I mean huge he was about 8 inches long! On Saturday morning we noticed we was barely moving at all. I was not ready for what was about to happen and didn't expect it to go the way it did. Jeremy headed to work that morning and I kept an eye on him. Not long after Addy woke up she headed to check on him because she knew he was sick. The tears started to flow once she noticed he was not moving at the bottom of the tank. She went back a few minutes later to tell me he was just sleeping. Then I had to explain that Tiger didn't make and he was going to Zoo Heaven. That was the hardest thing because she cried so bad for such a long time. I had to call Jeremy because she was screaming and bawling. Which that made mommy cry to. She told everyone she saw about poor Tiger. She now says Tiger is in heaven with Jesus and LuLu is watching him swim. She knows Jesus come down to get him while she went swimming that afternoon.

This story will be continued next blog to explain what happen next....

Happy Birthday George!!!

This sweet little boy Mr George turned 1 last week. Addy was excited to head over to his house to help him celebrate. It only fit him that he had a Curious George party and it was so cute. George's big sister is Ava that Addy plays with and they are also our neighbors!Addy learned how to pull the end of the balloon to make it fly through the air. The kids thought that was a blast.Then it was time to head outside to hit the pinata! Like I said Addy just loves George. I thought these photo's were so sweet of them inside the play house and playing together. He really wanted to get his hands on her sucker. He is still looking at that sucker trying to figure out how he can get that thing.

As you see the excitement on her face from being at George's party!!!

He hope you had a great first birthday George! Thanks Katie for having us, cooking dinner and a great time. We are so blessed to have such great neighbor's as you guys.

Happy Birthday Kayci!!

My little cousin turned 15 last weekend. I can't believe she is growing up so fast. Guess that just means I am getting older!! She had a swimming party at her house with all her friends and we got to join the fun! Of course my little fish was excited to be in the pool. she went all over the pool all by herself even the deep end. She loved the cold water coming down from the slide.

What was Pops & Addy looking at so surprised???



Kayci's new car!!!! She got a brand new car and I love her license plate
