Taylor's Heaven

This horse followed me around like it was in love with me.


Camryn fed the chickens

I liked this sign:)

Taylor and her friends fed the horses.

They also groomed them. The bows were put in place

by yours truly. I can't say I've ever done a horse's mane before.

Ha ha! Looks like she's shoving a carrot up his nose.

They decorated horse shoes.

Taylor loved feeding all the animals.

especially this one.

A friend of mine (Shelbi) invited the girls to come out to her parents farm in Givhans. We knew there were horses but had no idea how many animals would be there to greet us. Six dogs, a million goats, some chickens, a peacock, and a bunch of horses all greeted us. The girls had so much fun brushing the horses hair, painting horse shoes, feeding all the animals and painting random things at the farm. Shelbi's mom (Leslie) was so sweet. She had all kinds of snacks and crafts ready for the girls when they arrived. I think Taylor could have stayed there forever. Camryn was none too thrilled about the dogs, goats, heat, and whatever else she complained about but she did like painting, brushing the horses and feeding the chickens. After the farm visit we headed over to Edisto River for some swimming. It felt oh so good to cool off in the water. Somehow we managed to avoid the rainy weather. Thank you Shelbi and Mrs Leslie! Betsy, we enjoyed hanging out with you all!!

After our vacation to the mountains, we had an invitation to go to Taylor's friends birthday party. Grace C was turning 6 and she was celebrating at the Riverdog's game. It was the perfect night to be there. Not too hot, lots of shade, a slight breeze to keep the bugs away and no rain! The kids had a blast playing pin the tail on the donkey, eating cake and face painting. Well, it started out as face painting and turned into body art but they had fun. I love hanging out with all our peeps!!

Camryn's on a roll

I was just bragging last week at how good Camryn has been. Then she turned on me. She's been full of herself and completely disobedient. She pushes me to the limits sometimes. She's been in that mood where if she doesn't want to do it, she's not gonna do it. In Walmart she insisted on walking so we didn't get a buggy. She immediately started asking Jason and I to hold her but we refused. At some point I realized she wasn't with us. About 50 ft back she was sitting in the middle of the aisle sucking her fingers. With Taylor, I can give her a look and she jumps. Camryn is a different story. I gave her a look and she just looked back. I brought out the stern voice of authority and she just glared. I wanted to pick her up and spank her bottom but you know I'd be the one getting in trouble then. So I picked her up and gave her a talking to. Then I put her down and we tried again only to find her sitting in the middle of the aisle again. Oh for the love!

Tonight she looked up and saw flies buzzing around. She has a terrible fear of bugs at this stage in her life. She kept obsessing over them and I finally told her that she just needs to pray and ask Jesus to protect her from the bugs so she would calm down. This is what she said.
"Thank you da Lord. Please make the bugs fly away. Amen"
Then she said, "Hope Jesus comes through!". Sigh.

Future career

We had a wonderful trip to Hendersonville this year. I've been going to the same camp for over 10 yrs and Jason started coming with me when we got married. It's fun watching our kids make memories in the same place. We always visit several waterfalls when we're there and Taylor's favorite thing to do is collect rocks. We went to Hooker Falls, Looking Glass Falls, sliding rock(but they were too crowded for me to slide:( ), Piggy Park (ice cream), putt putting, and Jump Off Rock for the first time. The weather was gorgeous. Mid to low 80 during the day and low 60's at night. Perfect! No rain either. Mimi and Poppa came with us (Jason's parents). The kids rode in their car everywhere we went so Jason and I had uninterrupted conversations the whole weekend! It was awesome!! That's enough talk. I have a million pictures to post.
