Mom, Kimbo & Me
Troy and Abby around the fire...Troy didn't object, he liked her b/c she went hunting with him.
I love this picture.
The hunters.
Last day around the fire.
Josh, Bekah(nephew & niece), Savannah & Kendall playin with the bunnies.
I think there were 57 there, but not all are pictured. The weather was perfect too!

It's been forever since I've REALLY blogged. Sorry. We went to Missouri for a week and it takes a week to prepare to get there, we are there for a week, and it takes about a week for us to adjust to being back home. As always it was absolutely wonderful! I'll spare you all the details, but I will tell you it's basically like a Thanksgiving Hallmark commerical. The love, the food, the cute kids, sweet families... the total package. This year we had cousins bring 4 wheelers up and my kids were SO excited. It's on our "we gotta get one of those" list. I think I'll even place it before my "mini van with automatic doors"... oooohhhh, that's a big deal people. 'Cause I like me some automatic doors!
The kids went from watching Disney Channel, Nick JR, playing Webkinz on the computer, and all their extra "important" activities, TO two channels on a 19inch TV (YES I did say 19) and dial up internet (so needless to say no internet), no snacks to speak of (but I should add PawPaw has an endless supply of ice cream sandwiches if grandkids are in town) and a set of bunkbeds. Believe me there ain't NO complainin', fightin' or whinin' goin on about none of it!
I will tell you it was coming back to all the "luxuries" that was so much harder. So SO much harder for us all. My kids would rather feed cows, play with baby bunnies, explore in the woods, not bathe (ok, not that glad about that one), ride 4 wheelers, and watch Kung Fu Panda with 12 people around a 19 inch TV (wish I had a picture of that), or sit around a bonfire (not even eatin smores!) than be all that impressed with what the "world" thinks will make them happy. OK, maybe I'm going overboard, but really! I swear they started fighting as soon as the garage door was raised!
But we have returned to Plano livin and we've adjusted. Ha Ha...that's funny. Get it Plano, plain-o...
Love you all...if anyone even reads this anymore. Feel free to sign in....

Hey Kellye! Welcome back! :-) Sounds like you had a wonderful trip. I chuckled at your "Plano" joke. Too funny!
It looks and sounds like you had a WONDERFUL trip with your family. I think it is great that your kids had such a great time with no internet, 2 channels and feeding cows. That sounds like so much fun. It seems like everything always gets fancy then somehow or in someway really always gets back to the basics. Keep it simple. Love it. Miss you girl. Kristin
Hey Kellye girl!
I just found your blog tonight and laughed and elbowed Miles a few times. You are a hilarious girl. I may have to use your quote "life is too short to have crappy friends." That was just beautiful my friend. See you soon!
