Bribery.....

It works! Emme had her 18 month check-up today (hence the lollipop ;)

She's a BIG, healthy baby girl!

She weighs 27 lbs. 15 oz. and is 33 inches tall.

Ok North Carolina....you'll do for today ;)

The girls and I went to a local farm this morning to get some FRESH produce....here's our finds!

Yum!!

Don't hate me cause' I got struck by lightning!

It's true and if Matt wasn't standing right next to me, nobody would have believed me. Yesterday, it was 102 degrees here with a 110 degree heat index...so, the skies were hot and angry. It starting storming last night....thunder and lightning like I've NEVER seen before. I went downstairs to the kitchen to make some hot tea. When I turned the water on....the biggest lightning strike hit, just outside, it sounded like an airplane landed in our driveway. The lightning hit the ground, traveled through our pipes and I got zapped through the water. I'm telling you, Matt was standing right next to me, so he can vouch for me. It was so scary. I was tingling for the rest of the night. I'm playing the lottery today, just sayin'! :)

AIRBORNE!!

The girls and I headed out to the airfield....okay, we drove right onto it...totally illegal, but that's just how I roll!





Matt's the 3rd guy out...isn't he handsome???!!!



Matt's plane...right over my head!



The girls were so excited...showing some Daddy pride!

The girls first dental appointment!

!!!UPDATES ARE COMING SOON!!!

The New Digs....Literally!!!!

Well, we made it to the Ozarks. It was a terrible move, literally, everything that could have gone wrong did, but I'm trying to stay positive. So, here's pictures of our new house. The house itself is awesome! It's perfect for us. It just so happens to be right in the middle of a construction site, there are no phone lines, no internet lines and NO CABLE!!! I kid you not when I say that my kids spent 20 minutes yesterday staring outside of my bedroom window because there was a bulldozer 5 feet away from my window. I'll post some inside pics once we are more settled.

here's the front and lots and lots red clay...
