This week is the Post Season Tournaments. We won tonight and play again on Thursday night. We're hoping for a 1st place trophy this time!!! Blake has done a great job batting!

Father Son Look Alike Contest

I entered Rick and Brett's picture in the Father-Son Look Alike Contest for the Savannah Morning News. Only Carey and Mom knew that I did it. This morning, I was at work and Rick was home with the kids for Memorial Day. He called me and kept saying, "What have you done?" I was quickly trying to think of what I had done lately that I had not told him about!!! Fortunately, I could not think of anything. He said that he had 2 phone calls this morning from Rick and Connie and Mary to let him know that he was in the paper. Here is the article!

Sand Arts Festival at Tybee

Friday afternoon, we went to Tybee to see the SCAD Sand Arts Festival. The SCAD students start early in the morning working on sand sculptures to be judged in the afternoon. Kim and I decided to meet the guys and our plans were to look at the sand art and then grill out at the beach. We also decided to dress the kids in matching outfits so that we could get some good beach pictures! Our plans didn't quite work out the way we hoped but we still had a lot of fun!!! We looked at a few sculptures and got a few pictures:

In front of the sand shark!

Life's a BEACH!!

Bryson finally has some girls to play with! She isn't quite sure what to do with them since she has been around boys all of her life! Bryson, Regan and Kyndal became fast friends. The sand art idea wasn't any fun once they realized that the beach and the water were not far away. That was much more fun than pictures, so....they got soaken wet in the ocean!!! We still got a few good pictures!

This was Brett's first beach experience and he LOVED it, but the sand was much more fun to eat than play in!!!

Kyndal was a little worried about going too deep in the ocean, so she convinced Carey to take her out, but he saw a big wave and put her down so that he could go under it. He wasn't the only one who went under....Poor Kyndal! She was so upset and Kim and I couldn't believe that he did that!! (He really didn't mean to, but it sure didn't look good!)

Rick convinced her that he would not put her down so she went back out!

By the way...Carey redeemed himself and apologized and Kyndal forgave him! The kids were so wet and nasty that we decided to come back home to grill out and swim in the pool. We had a great night and no one had to rock the kids to sleep!! They were exhausted!!

The Goats

Rick got some goats for the warehouse. He really got them to help mow the yard around the perimeter of the warehouse. They are Tennessee Fainting Goats. I am really worried that Rick and Carey will not get any work done because they will be making the goats faint!! We went by to see them Friday after work. Their names are Paper, Junior and Streak. Rick, Blake and Bryson chased the goats around the warehouse until they finally caught Streak!

Farm Day at School

Our Kindergarten classes wrapped up the unit on the Farm by having Farm Day. The children participated in many different farm related activities. Mrs. Ivy brought Brett and Neal to school to see Katie do the activities and to enjoy the festivities.

Brett had a fun day, but was exhausted after a day on the farm and HAD to get some SLEEP!
