Cousins, Carrots and Cool Parks (and more!)

Joey, Akira and Paige had a fun day of play outside, then McDonalds playland today!

This morning Joey decided he had to get "carrots" for the rabbit (no, we don't have a rabbit). As he was walking away to collect the carrots, he said, "i'll be right back, mom. If you need me, just holler." I laughed for a long time. He's so odd and funny and cute.

Talking on the phone to his daddy last night, saying "Daddy, do you see my red basket?" and Earl thought he'd make the conversation easy by saying, "yeah, cool!" and Joey said, "NO you can't see it. You're not here!" Ooops. Nice try, Earl.

We have a cool park here that has this water mister to cool off on hot days, and this day at the park was very hot.

Joey loves anything he can climb. And Jenny and Kiara too, apparently.

Jenny probably had more fun than the kids. :)

Justin, our nephew, graduated from TC Roberson high school last saturday night. Congrats Justin!

On the day of the graduation, Louise, me and Donna and Justin's girlfriend Amber walked around downtown for a little while killing time. We were living on the edge: went to a coffee shop and didn't even order coffee . We had sodas, water, and yummy deserts.

I took pictures, not looking like a tourist at all. ;) he he.

Beautiful Donna! Joey was very impressed with her "shiny" shirt.

Bradley loves the water!

In Earl's brief time in Asheville with us, he had lots of quality time with Joey.
