Puddle Jumping with Aunt Sammy!!


Hello, I know I haven't blogged lately, but a girl just gets a little worn out every once in a while. To be honest with you, I really haven't had anything to blog about in the past couple of weeks!!

Anywho, I got to witness one of the sweetest things yesterday. Lauren received a pair of rain boots from my mom a couple of weekends ago. She loves the boots. She wears them all around the house. Well, this past weekend, Aunt Sammy came into town and Lauren spent the night with her. Aunt Sammy called me and asked be if Lauren could bring her rain boots over so she could puddle jump with her. Of course it has been raining for the last week and you never know with this Mississippi weather, when you will get the opportunity to play in the rain. So here are a couple of pics of Lauren and her Aunt Sammy "Puddle Jumping". I hope that you enjoy!!

Not Your Normal Treasure Hunt

Hello to all!! As some of you may know, I am married to the biggest techie that could have ever been created. If it has anything to do with technology, you can be rest assured that it is probably in the vacinity of my house. Better yet, I could probably put my hands on it pretty quick. Anyway, normally when Ray tells me about some new technology that has been released, I let him speak, look like I listen, and then we are on our way to the next thing that was just released.

The newest idea of Ray's technology finding, is Geocaching. What is Geocaching you ask? Well in lamen's terms it is a world wide treasure hunt!! Who knew that technology could be so much fun, besides, your everday run of the mill computer. You have these different sites that people or geocachers, you may call them, set these "treasures" out and you find them with a handheld GPS with certain coordinates.

I have included several pics of our hunt so I hope you enjoy and I will definitely keep each and everyone updated.


Our first find, can you see it?


There it is!!


Lauren loves hunting for "treasure", we love doing this as a family, it gives us the opportunity to teach Lauren sharing, you leave something in the cache and take something out. It also gives us something to do as a family during the limited time that we have with Ray when he is off.


Our Second Find!!


Can you see it?


Looks like Lauren and Daddy found the "treasure"


Family pic time!!

Now this third find, well I have to say is my most favorite!! It was the hardest one that we started on Saturday and guess who found it today,which is Sunday, ME!! Yes, I said me. Can you tell that I am still pumped about it. Well here are the pics from the third find, we plan on doing this every weekend Ray is off, so stay tuned!!!
