Boys and Toilets

Earlier tonight Timmy flushed these items down the toilet:

I was able to retrieve the ball and one of the cups but not before two of the other cups got flushed down and lodged in the toilet. What to do? What to do? The thought of taking out the toilet wasn't an appealing one for either Scot or me. We weren't looking forward to having to do that but then Scot had an Divine Inspiration, "Go get the big truck. It really SUCKS!". As most of you know we own a carpet cleaning business and have a truck mount unit and it has quite the vacuum on it. While I was upstairs putting Timmy to bed Scot decided he'd give the vac a whirl. I'm upstairs and I hear a noise that sounds like the toilet came out of the floor but found out that it was cup number one that had come up with a thud. So he did the process again and got cup number two. Doing that was so much easier than the other alternative. PTL for a husband who thinks outside the box or the toilet in this case.

Talking with Nan and Pop

Timmy had fun walking around the house this evening while talking on the phone with Nan and Pop. We had the speaker phone on so we all could hear the conversation. I just had to take pictures when he sat in his Mickey Chair talking to them. It was toooooo cute!

"I'm having fun talking with my Nan and Popsie."

Tristan's Birthday Party at Chuck E Cheese

Tristan had soooo much fun at Chuck E Cheese. "Which camera do I look at? Too many people wanting to take my picture."

When we first got to the party Timmy said, "Look at all the cool stuff." He was referring to all the games and stuff.

My brother Calvin and his wife April.

Iris ate better than all the kids there.

Which Toy Story movie did he get this idea from?

Our Sheltie, Dexter, is so good with Timmy. They are pals.

Too cute that I just had to post it

I loved his smile and pose in this picture.

"I'm mommies handsome boy!"

My Men!

Timmy chillin' on the deck

Timmy was chillin' while Daddy was grillin' yesterday evening. See if you can find what is wrong with this picture and comment. Scot and I didn't notice until we came back inside after we were done grillin'...lol.

"Yeah, I know I'm the man!"

New Dinning Room Table

One of our repeat clients gave us this table. Our old table was a glass round that seated four. This one will seat six. I am so glad to get rid of the glass table because Timmy kept trying to hang on it and he was running into it. What a nice table and such a huge blessing!!! We've been looking for quite some time for a wood table but everything we saw we didn't seem to like. As soon as I saw this one I loved it. It's an original design made especially for the original owner. I was patient and waited (and those of you who know me well know that I'm not usually a very patient person) and God blessed us with such a nice table. Thank you Lord!!!

Trees are coming down!!!

Tree cutting began yesterday on our property. We are getting rid of our gum ball trees and our walnut trees. Our lawn guy will be happy about that and so will Timmy because now he won't be tripping and falling on those gum balls and walnuts. All Seasons Tree Services is who is cutting them down for us. It is owned and operated by a great Christian whom I have had the privelege of knowing since I was a preteen. He and His wife were missionaries in the Congo in Africa for many many years. So if you need trees cut down give this guy a call. His number is: 919-796-2165 and his website is: http://www.allseasonstreeservices.com/.



This machine really turned the small stuff into some good mulched wood. Scot and I were very impressed with this machine.

Toy Story 3

Timmy has recently gotten into the Toy Story movies. His current favorite is Toy Story 3 because of the train scene at the beginning. Those of you who have seen the movie will get this picture of Timmy with his train and Buzz.

"Buzz Lightyear to the recue!"

"Look Nan and Pop it's my Robot"

Timmy showing Nan and Pop his robot through the phone. As if they can see it....lol.
