At home!

Hi!

Yesterday was our last day in Fbks.  We woke up (tuesday) around 7:30-8:00,ate breakfast, hung-out, and took some pics.  When it was time to leave no one wanted to say goodbye.  We all hugged a bunch of times, and tried not to cry.  I mostly succeeded at the latter.  The kids (hoop) ran down to the stop sign at the end of their street to wave goodbye.  It was a great week.  I tried really hard to be grateful (and i was) and not ask for more,but because of our sinful nature, I did (along with the girls).  The Hoops are great friends.  We even call their parents "Aunt Annie" (short for Tiffany) and "Uncle Kenny".  They call my parents "Aunt Mitzi" and "Uncle Sean".  We had a Lord of the Rings marathon week while we were there.  The boys (and 3 yr old girl) went to bed while the girls and parents stayed up and watched LOTR. It was fun.  A lot of fun.  Like a lot a lot of fun.


On a couple other notes:

BEES!
The place is infested with them.  We have a big nest on the alcove of the roof or whatever ya' call it and there are stinkin' bees almost EVERYWHERE!!  Over the last week that we have been gone the nest has not only grown but the bees (or something) have become a LOT more popular around here.  Last night some guy was gonna come over and spray the nest down with a pressure-washer (nuts...totally nuts!!) but never actually did. So........


Our Car:
Is  was having problems. It was shuttering and shaking and when Mama stopped at a light it was shuttering really bad.  When we got home Mama asked our upstairs neighbor if he knew what the problem was.  SO he has one of those computer thingy's that you hook up to the car to see whats wrong,so he used that and told Mama that the spark plugs and distributor cap (don't ask me what that is) needed to be replaced.  They looked like they had never been replaced (I'm not sure what year our car is).  SO he said one of his friends would come over Sunday to help him fix it.  But he didn't want Mama to use the car so he said she could use their truck if she needed to go anywhere.  Anyways, then he had to go help a different friend pick something up at Lowe's so then that guy came over to look at the car, and our neighbor said that he could get the things they needed for the car at a diff store and he and his friend that he had had to go help could fix it that night so M wouldn't be "carless" for the week.  So him and his friend stayed up until 12:00 at night fixing our car....and they succeeded.  I am so grateful for them. Our neighbors are such great neighbors and they have been such a blessing (as has his friend).  I know Mama is so grateful to know that there is someone to fix her car and things like that when Daddy isn't here.


Trixie: (this happened a couple weeks ago but I thought you may still wanna know)
Trixie is our, not upstairs but next door, neighbors dog.  She's cute.  She's sweet.  My family and I love her.  Until she gets territorial.  And attacks Libby.  Then she's not cute.  She's not sweet.  She's not loveable at the moment.  She's evil looking.  She's evil sounding.  She's kinda despicable at the moment.  But you end up forgiving her.  Then it happens again.  Then she's kinda unforgivable.  She's not allowed on your property.  So your Daddy goes over to her owners house and tells her parents about what happened.  And asks to keep her off of our property.  It works....for like a day.  Then she keeps coming over.  It's annoying.  We ignore her.  We try to get the upstairs kids to do the same.  Their parents do but not really the kids.  Oh well.     I'm kinda afraid of taking Libby outside now....the attacks really shook me and now I get cautious with any dog I don't know around Libby.....I know it sounds stupid...kinda whimpy.....but it's just the way I am.  That's all I have on Trixie right now. So......moving on.



Cellphone Tower:
Near our house Verizon is putting up a cellphone tower.  Trixie's parents are going beserk.  All over their yard they've put up signs about how anything for money = greed. And how they're gonna get cancer and all sorts of stuff.  They even spraypainted words on an old refrigerator.....nuts.  An NBC truck even went over to their house but we can't find any video footage online...oh well.


Pictures:
Not many.  I have some of us actually in Fbks, but they're on Mama's camera and they're not on the computer yet.  Soon though....hopefully.  OK....my laptop is being annoying so unfortuently I won't be able to put any pics up right now.  I have to wait until I can get my hands on the other computer.  I'll try to do that later today.



Love you all!!!
With love,
Kaylee
