Odds, ends, and what-nots

Doesn't she just look like a handful? She's naked and climbing into the empty shelf in the media cabinet. Her little buck teeth and new snorty laugh are just too cute for words. I had to croppity-crop-crop to hide all her lady parts. Love her!

A much needed visit with Great Frank. His place has THE BEST front porch rockers. I could stay there all day.
Someone else looks pretty cozy...

And here, in a not so cozy moment. This was not child abuse, I promise. Or it wasn't intentional anyway. We went to Ichiban last weekend with Mike, Lu and their girls and this was Keatyn's first Hibachi fire. Not a fan. You should have seen the sweet snuggle Jimmy got after this.
But first, he got the post fire pout...
Bless her heart. The things we do to our poor children.
Gingie got a ride on the 4 wheeler. We found out last week, that she has a malignant tumor in her back. Because of it's location and her age, we have chosen not to try to operate or do any treatment. She will be 15 on December 1st. So we're gonna love her and enjoy her for as long as God gives us! She is an irreplaceable part of this family.


Playdate with Brooklynn and Bentley...
Grazing in the grass...
Like a true girlie-girl, she squealed and pulled her legs up the first time Jimmy put her down in it. We thought for a brief moment we finally found a way to contain her. Put a blanket down in the grass and she'd be trapped. But she got over it real quick and has even taken to eating it on occasion. It's great fiber I hear.

Papaw bought this wagon for Trace when he was a baby, and he did the honors on Keatyn's first ride...

And then of course, big brother had to take a turn. And mommy had to take a Xanax.
Good times!
