TONY STEWART WINS!!!!!

Well since this is a family blog...then there has to be mention to the fact that Joel's favorite driver won at Indy...

Those two are always trouble together...and somehow sports is always involved...

Joel has a new best friend!

Kindergarten

Can you all believe that my little man is going to be in kindergarten next year??? Here is his first picture and one of last weekend... Forgive me from saying this but I really dread him attending school...that is where the mean kids are. They are the ones that make fun of you for your clothes, hair, accent etc. He has never spent time around people like that, he believes that all people are great and love him...Please please please let him be in a class with some great kids.

Its peaceful somewhere....

All I need is about a day here with no kids, no tv, no books NOTHING but a bathing suit and a lawn chair. I would just sit and enjoy the peace I promise.

Life here is so busy! Kealey and Kenzie are both in drama camp all the kids are in VBS at night...Scott and I have been on the run all day getting last minute school supplies and registration done. Its just been unreal...not to mention that my final in my class is July 25th..Yikes...the days are creeping up on me. So if this is not updated till after then...please know that I am going to update with new pictures soon. Hopefully I will get some of the drama camp production by the end of the month on here.

Lots of love!!!

Robin

P.S. Please remember to pray for Joel with the job interview and also for the Henderson family in Richton, MS they lost there house due to fire this last weekend...

YUCK!

Is there anything else to say?

Prayers needed

Joel is up for a full time position. He will interview on July 23,2007 we are praying that he will get it. Please pray with us.

Brianna

A friend did this for me a little while ago..I just wanted to share it with you all. As most of you know we lost our daughter Brianna Nicole Jones on Dec 19,1998. She was two month two weeks and two days old. She died of S.I.D.S at our house in Bury St. Edmunds, England. She is laid to rest here in Mississippi. She will always be loved and missed.

You've meet Scuba Steve and Joe...now meet Scott

As you can see that this is a older picture...But he is so super cute in it. This is after Hurricane Katrina when we came to Meridian to be with Joel...We had taken Scott to the hotel pool and he had to wear the whole outfit...

Geez...

Can anyone tell me how to get her to stop growing up so quick!!! Kenzie will be in 2nd grade and is 7 years old...Where did time go?

Life as a parent...

Ever noticed that you never get to have anything to yourself anymore...Kids always think that yours is better.

Sisters....

As a only child I never had this kind of relationship and the love/hate thing is beyond me. Will there ever be a time when they LOVE each other??? Today is the "That's not fair, you get to do everything" fight. Which means Kealey being almost 11 gets to go somewhere and Kenzie being almost 8 thinks that "its not fair" and wants to tag along. How do you explaine that its not fair but its life...Joe gets to go everwhere and yes there are times when (oh like he went to HAWAII) and I said...THAT'S NOT FAIR! But heck its Hawaii and not a swimming party. I guess that at 8 they may seem the same. So maybe I just anwsered my own question they may never see eye to eye but I have a picture of them getting along for a brief second in time.

This is my family...

well this is finally a picture that shows what my kids are really like and who they get it from...Joel is the ringleader and the girls follow his lead...They are nuts but I love them anyway.

Finally a picture of Joe and I together....

Yup that is me...

Don't everyone freak out at once...Yes, this is a picture of me. I know that I don't usually do this but hey here I am...Lets get something straight I was showing Kealey how to pose and that is why I look nuts. But hey all in all its pretty good...

You've met Scuba Steve...now meet Scuba Joel...

Joel has recently ( in the past 2 years) developed a interest in Scuba diving. Life in the guard is so hard...he has to go to Guam every year. When he is there this is his favorite past time. Poor guy!

Easter Picture

Here is one of the kids all dressed up. They sure do clean up well don't they.

I am the cutest kid in the world..seriously

We went out to eat after church a couple of sundays go and I got this picture of Scott. He still wants to be a preacher, barber, police and a soccer player when he grows up...We are getting ready for kindergarten here and trying to get school uniforms and supplies ready...Look out world here comes my little man.

Been on the fence lately...

I have been having a really hard time trying to decide what to major in. I really want to do nursing, but its so hard to get into. What would be my back up if I didn't get in? Hotel and Restaurant management. I think that I would love this option. Its just hard to decide between the two. They are totally different things its like deciding between being a nun and a stripper.

Nursing would take so much time to finish and when I was done with it the time I would spend working would be a whole lot..although the benefits would be great. The other hand there is the management degree which could be used for almost anything. I live in a HUGE town and there is literally a hotel about every block on the north side of town and we are constantly getting more. I also LOVE to cook. I would love to own my on restaurant one day... What in the world should I chose. I feel like that Robert Frost poem about the roads that he would have to chose and which one he should no matter what if he chose one he would still miss out on the things on the other roads. That is defiantly how I feel.

Yesterday someone asked me a question if money was no object what would I want to be when I grew up...and I would want to own a bed and breakfast or a really popular cafe. But since money is a consideration and I do have 3 great kids...then I think that I will take some pre regs that fit both and give it another couple of months to try and figure out...I will let you all know what I decide

Kealey

Ssshhhh don't tell Kealey that this one is on here...She hates it and thinks that her cheeks look fat!

Kenzie

My almost 2nd grader

This is what summer is all about!

Eating snow cones!! Scott had the biggest blast at the girls field day. He had about 10 snow cones at it. If you look close you can see the blue all over his face!

Kealey and Kenzie

Well its offical...after seeing this picture Joel is going to be getting a shotgun to keep the boys away.

Happy 4th!

Well today started off on the wrong foot with us getting up to late to go home for the holiday...so instead of having Fried Chicken at Aunt Cathy's and swimming we spent it at the watching Transformers. Honestly it was a great day. I think that any day spent with the 5 of us is pretty great.

-By the way the photo is of Scott at the coast in 2005. I loved it then and recently was taught how to add color to b&w pictures so I thought I would add this one in.
