Hot Springs

We had a fun weekend. We felt like our old selves again...we went out of town. :)
It's what we do.

We travelled down to Hot Springs, Arkansas, where Joe's two youngest brothers, Jeff and James, go to school. It was fun to see both of them, their friends (and their girlfriends!), watch James play basketball, and see their church. It has been great to see how much both of them have grown up since being there. God has done great things in their lives, and He has especially brought James a long way. We are so grateful!

I made shirts for Joey and Kylah to wear to James' basketball games.

These are the backs of the shirts. Joey had a lot of fun helping me make them...and he really did stay in the lines (most of the time). :)

Flying high with Uncle James.

I'd like to pretend that my daughter is a little angel all the time, but she's not. She's started her terrible two's early...just like Joey did. But, we figure the earlier they go through them, the earlier they learn that it doesn't fly around here. :)
Here's Kylah getting a 'talking to' from daddy.

Joey got a little help from Uncle Jake.

And so did Kylah.

We had a really fun weekend. We got to hang out with Joe's mom, Grammy, Jake, Katie, Joe's aunt Kris, Jeff and James. As always, there's a lot of noise, a lot of chaos, but a lot of fun. We even toured downtown Hot Springs and learned all about the old bath houses. Maybe next time we'll be able to get one, Katie!
Now I'm working on laundry and getting the house ready for my mom to come stay with us this weekend. Yeah!
(One positive about having a small house is that it's much easier to clean!)
