Helping Hand

I thought this was really sweet, so I snuck a quick picture. Eric was helping her with science homework.

I'm not at all happy about the pic of the skink. It's blurry due to me having to duck under my steps and stay at a far enough distance to keep from scaring him away. Oh well, his colors are really pretty, though I could not find out how to brighten them up without doing the entire picture.
This little booger was a hitchhiker in my truck the other day and bit the fire out of my leg! I pulled over to scoop him up in a water bottle just in case I had a reaction to it. I had blood poisoning from a spider bite when I was pregnant with Shelby and haven't forgotten it! Can't be too careful! I have to confess, I said I was going to kill the spider...but in the end I couldn't do it. LOL He's living in Ms. Pauline's pampas grass bordering my driveway. Live and let live I guess! LOL

Familiar Scene

All the girls can sympathize and empathize here! LOL Give it three days and there will be 18 washcloths, 36 socks, 12 towels, 18 pairs of underwear and panties, 18 shirts....hmm, maybe I'll stop now. My shoulders are beginning to slump! LOL ...........I know I know...its a blessing that we have clothes to wash! ~big smile~ it really is.

Monkey In A Tree...

This is one of his favorite places to be. In a tree, in the woods, under a car, shooting a beebee gun. What a boy, a handsome one I might add. LOL

Holy Moly...She posted!

Sorry I've been MIA for a week. I had company and was just too darn tired! So Saturday night I took my kiddos to the Drive In. We had a blast as always. Here are some pics from the Drive In!

Well, I didn't get the chance to take the pic I wanted for the smell of summer. This is a good one though. The more I look at it the more I like it. I suppose a lot of people would use this for a subject but thats ok. The smell of sun tan lotion, the sand and seaspray...now that's summer!

I like the shrimp boats in the background. Catie calls them pirate ships. LOL I love it! She was so excited when she saw them and started yelling, "mommy! pirate ships! Look! pirate ships!" I was unable to convince her that they were shrimp boats, that's ok, I like her story better. It's definately more exciting! Blow up the picture, it looks better like that. LOL

I thought this was pretty neat Ms. Jan! I confess, my stay in Alaska was only overnight! LOL But hey, I can say I've been there! LOL

Fun In the Carolina Sun

I took the kids to Hunting Island today. We had a great time as always! I love doing things like this with them. I'm so grateful God made me a momma! I really like the sequence in this first set of pics! They were so silly!


My bathing beauty doused with that wholesome salt water. This is the ONLY picture I could get of Christina! The elusive Chris fish! Get her near water and she grows gills! LOL

Fuzzy Wuzzy

I love these two pics. Sadly, I didn't take them! Eric took them a few days ago. I saw them on the computer after downloading them and said, "well dang! those are great!" LOL So I cropped them a bit and here they are! I think maybe he should carry that camera around a bit more!

I liked the way the sun and shadows played on Ms. Pauline's old pumphouse. This guy was being very territorial of his vine and leaves. LOL Took a quick shot before he jumped onto my camera!

These are just a couple more shots of the guy in the post below. He was a pretty neat little subject.

Comin for Ya!

This little guy was watching me quite intently! As I moved he moved with me! LOL When I brought out the camera he started walking over to me! LOL I really like the sequence of the pics.

Round, Round, Round

Now I don't know how many things we were supposed to take pictures of for this assignment, but I couldn't resist this one! I want to meet the man that made this sign! LOL

I like this one the best. Another one of Eric's! Wait till you see his pics I post next. They turned out really well!

A couple more for good measure.

And the rocket's red glare...

Sorry for the delay in posting. I've been tired, no different than the rest of you I know. These are from Parris Island. I like how they turned out, being my first shot at fireworks.



Ok, tell me that last one doesn't look like a Palmetto!

Home, safe & sound...and a little more holey!

She is home, she is hurting, she is grumpy, she is the Princess! LOL The surgery could not have gone better. The recovery has taken a side road already, she decided it would be a great idea to climb up and stand on a chair...and then fall off. Yeah, I was thrilled. So where is that industrial strength velcro?? I thank you all for your prayers...the Carolina Dictator is doing very well and is absolutely POSITIVE we will be going to P.I. for fireworks tomorrow! LOL

BTW, the ice cream cone was the only thing that made her offer anything close to resembling a smile! I gave up when she said, "Momma PLEASE stop taking pictures of me." Poor baby! LOL
