"This is where rednecks come from"

Ashlynn and Katelynn started 4 year old kindergarten on Wednesday. Everyone actually did really well. They really like their new school. I admit that I got to the post office on Wednesday at the same time they were going to school and shed a few tears thinking about them. I don't know if it was because I was afraid that they were scared of being in a new place or if its that they aren't babies anymore. It won't be long until they are worrying over papers or having their hearts broken. How quickly four years have gone by?!

The counter tops arrived today for the kitchen. The yard is done and is so pretty. Stairs have been built to come off the porch. Shelves have been put in the closets and pantry. All this but still have no idea when they are moving.

So my brother, Eddie, bought a truck out of a pasture for $600. The kids love loading up and taking a drive in Daddy's big truck. Also pictured in this post is Hannah and Kyler. Hannah and Kyler live next door to my parents. Wait...they live next door to me now. They have become quite special to my family. They might as well be my family acutally. They really make me laugh. You don't walk out our back door without them yelling, "Where you going,BJ?"

Happy Birthday Ashlynn and Katelynn!

I fell in love with killer whales at age four so I
figured no better birthday to give the girls their
first killer whales than their FOURTH BIRTHDAY!
Of course, Katelynn called it a dolphin and Ashlynn
called it a shark. (for the record it does belong to the
dolphin family)



They really enjoyed all their cool surprises!
Mom and Dad can't believe that they have
four year olds that start school on Wednesday.

They were so excited about their birthday cake.
Katelynn wanted Hello Kitty and Ashlynn wanted
a princess theme.

Sweet Little Girls!

Four Year Old Ashlynn and Katelynn!

Landscaping (stage one)

Appliances, Stairs, Tile, and Paint OH MY!

So it was supposed to be this weekend that the Kimbrells headed to the lake to do a little full time living. I don't think that is going to happen. One-- because they don't stay home long enough to pack anything and Two- there are some things left to be done at the river. Carpet for upstairs, stain for the hardwood, some landscaping will all need to be done before the big day. I'm not sure how much longer but I'm thinking it has to be before Christmas, right? The great thing about this weekend is that I had kept in clear to help with the move. Now with no move, I have it free. I'll go ahead and beat Eddie and Carrie to the punch...yes I am free for babysitting.

I don't have any pictures to post but it was great to get to hang out with most of my college friends over this past week. Last weekend some of us spent on Lake Norman with Steph's new boat! Thanks for letting me ski! It was sad that August was the first time I got to go this summer. On Monday another group of us met in Greenville. I am so grateful that after 5 years we all still make time to hang out with each other. We missed Ann and EJ this last trip. I guess we can cut them some slack since they live in Alaska and California. No, i don't think so....I mean Beth made it from Hawaii! :)
