Limi

Limi gets so anxious when fred comes home. She literally runs to him and showers him with kisses. If he leaves out the door she is in the window watching for him to return.
She is begging for attention from anybody in the family. Josh tries to teach her new tricks.

Limi is being prepped for a photo shoot. We have had Limi for nearly a year and she certainly has become a part of the family. WE are getting used to her though some family members do not enjoy that she licks their toes. One afternoon she decided to lick Fred's entire leg.
Our neighbors little dog for sadly hit by a car today and killed in front of them. It was very tragic. He is now buried in our yard and a funeral was held with roses draping the area of rest. Jack was a good dog and he played with me one child commented, there were also words like: Are there toys in heaven? Does Jesus have toys? Heaven is in the ground. Char, is jesus fixing jack? I said probably so and he's running all around up there. He then asked me why his body was in the dirt.
He also wanted to know if Jesus had lot's of grass cuz Jack likes to poop a lot. Little Gracie prayed that Jesus would fix Jack. It was so sad to be a part of the tragic accident of our neighbor's dog, jack. Made me appreciate our Limi just that much more and how grateful we are for her companionship.

Once again......





I hope that I don't kill them this year. It's been a long time since I actually went out and purchased flowers. I planted gerber daisie's and impatients. The hanging baskets came from a local nursery that just recently opened up. I'm grateful for the beauty that the flowers provide in the yard. Hopefully I will remember to water them and the sun won't bake them. Happy June Day.

Blakester

The Graduates from CHS, Go Falcons!!!
Blakester and his buddies from school.

Mr. CHS!! Way to go Blake!!

Blakester holding his three-year certificate from JR AFROTC.
Not many years ago our family and friends wondered what we were up too when we decided to add to our family through adoption. A dark haired, dark eyed little boy from a country far away came into our lives at the age 4 1/2. Little did we know then what a great young man he would become and will continue to become. Thanks for putting up with us Blake!!. Blakester was stubborn (fitting of a Carlson) and overcame all the odds against him and proved himself by working hard because he wanted to. Congrats to Blakester. You are truly deserving of all the honors bestowed upon you. We love you....the family.
