I had to get a new blog since I filled up the limit on photos on the other one. New blog address is:

Joey's Little Boy Haircut

I've reached my photo limit on this blog. I'm probably going to be switching to another one. I'll post the info when I get it. But for our last post on Blogger, here is Joey's little boy haircut. It was the first haircut that he sat in the barber's chair all by himself. Usually he's on my lap.

We're still in Asheville. Earl graduated his school on Friday and is now waiting for Monday/Tuesday to complete some required military classes before they'll schedule our house to be packed up and moved. Our house has been shown a few times, but no offers yet. We'll probably get our house packed up in the next week or two, so I'm hoping the house will go faster when all our stuff is out.

Playgrounds and Puddles

Joey's spent a lot of time with his cousin, Kalyn, playing at playgrounds.

Why do kids love the parts of the playground that are a bit too dangerous for their age? Joey and Kalyn climbed up this thing a billion times!

Aren't they too young to be drinking and driving already?

Does Grandma think she's in a parade? Where's the wave, grandma?

Kalyn and Joey loved taking the ramps at the playground, instead of the stairs.

Hmmm. What's wrong with this picture? ^

Nan, me and Pawpaw after our Mother's Day dinner after church today.

One of the many puddles that Kalyn and Joey found yesterday.

I had to strip Joey down, twice, in this one day. First after the mud fun, then again after the rain puddles.

Jenny, Macy and Paige.

Joey and Uncle Kenny made a mud man.

The kids could not be distracted from all this gooky mud. It was disgusting! They loved it!

More Asheville Fun!

First off: news about us. Earl called today and said we are going to be stationed in Norfolk, VA afterall. No Georgia for us. :( Earl will have more time off at his job in Norfolk, but it is pricier there. Oh well, now just pray for our house to sell!

Akira had her 3rd birthday party at Lake Louise.

Sandrina, Bradley, Joey and Akira enjoyed the birthday cake.

Sabrina and her birthday girl.

The Wallins: Jennifer, Kenny and Macy, and Paige.

The birthday girl--Akira Grace!

Akira had lots of help blowing out her candle.

Later, we had fun at Earl's parents, with crazy relatives, like Uncle Mike and Aunt Darlene. :)

Joey loves making silly faces for the camera now.

Louise and Collis got this close for a hug: no more.

Shea did a good job of keeping Bradley and Joey occupied watching TV and playing in Mamaw's bucket of toys.

Joey and Bradley teamed up on Aunt Louise.

Bradley and Joey took turns taking pictures. Bradley took this picture of Joey and Grover.

And Bradley took this shot of Mamaw and Joey.

Joey took this picture of Bradley and Louise.

Joey took this picture of me and Bradley.

And, of course, Bradley took this picture of me and my Joey.

Joey likes doing this ciricle with his fingers all the time now.

Dirt, Dirt and More Dirt

One of Joey's favorite things to do at Pawpaw's house is playing in the dirt. He and Paige usually spend hours digging there. But on Friday, Akira joined in, and Macy even helped out a bit.

Joey's pants were a little too big, so they kept slipping down and showing his inner
"plumber."

Sandrina had went shopping that day, and came home to model her new clothes for us.

Paige turns on the radio in Pawpaw's truck, and dances in the bed.

Joey and Akira found a worm to torture. They fought over it, they buried it and dug it back up. They put in a bucket, then out of the bucket, then back in. They watched it climb up the hill.

It was very hot that day, and not raining like the weather said it would.

We also took a couple small 4-wheeler rides around on the mountain.
