YOU CAN MOVE THE BOY TO ARKANSAS BUT YOU CAN'T TAKE THE TEXAS OUT OF THE BOY

The kids and I recently took a trip to Searcy, Arkansas. It was my first time to go to Searcy and I must say it is a nice little town. Some (Kyle Citty) might even say it is just "a step below Heaven." We didn't do anything particularly "Arkansas." We just went to visit some old friends and hang out and let the kids play.

After a year of being apart they still claim to be best friends!

Hayden says he doesn't like the Longhorns any more and that he is a Razorback fan now but I think he looks pretty proud here.

Swimming at a neighbor's house. Cooper was being difficult and didn't want to be in the picture.

Sunday morning for church- what a sight they were all six walking in the church building.

Even at this young age these guys seemed really excited to see each other again. (What a great age to not care about everything that is hanging out of your swimsuit!)

The newest Citty addition. Claire Elizabeth Citty. She is a tiny little thing so I'm thinking they may have mixed up the babies at the hospital- it is Arkansas. (couldn't resist Kyle)

These three are just the little ones getting some lovin'. The next time Landon kisses my daughter in his underwear she'd better have a ring on her finger!!! Maybe some day these kids will meet up in Abilene!!!!!!! "Oh Dear Christian College we love you. . . "

It Is Raining Cats and Dogs In Our Bathroom???

We recently went out of town. Scott came home on Monday and me and the kids came home the following Sunday. Some time while we were gone someone broke in our house. The strange thing is that they did not take anything. Instead, they left a shower curtain in the kids bathroom. It was neatly folded and sitting on the sink. It has cats and dogs all over it. I noticed it this morning and Scott said he noticed it some time this past week. So, we are stumped. Does anyone know anything about a shower curtain and how it came to be in our bathroom?

Elizabeth Andrews

While getting pictures of people for the new church directory I had the opportunity to meet Elizabeth Andrews. She is a honey. (That sounds like something she would call someone like herself!) She is one of the most kind, optimistic, loving people I know. She lives in a nursing home and never had children and just lost her husband back in January I believe. I have not known her long but I count her as a dear friend. I don't get by near enough to visit her but when I do she always seems so grateful and happy to see me-and even more so if I take my three wild Indians!
Last Wednesday night we went to visit her from church and she was asleep. Some people would rather sleep but not Mrs. Andrews. She would rather you wake her up so she can visit. She figures she can sleep later! We did wake her up but she was not quite her self. She had fallen earlier that evening going back to her room from a birthday party. She was hurting all over but still managed to entertain us for a good 30 minutes! They had come in and done X-rays of her all over and tonight I found out that she has a broken arm.
I am posting this so that any long time WH folks that may know her or any new WH folks who want to can send her a "Get Well" card. She has her church directory and LOVES looking through it. It would thrill her to get a card from a new friend that she could look up in her new directory. Just tell her that you attend Western Hills and heard about her arm. She would consider you a friend forever!
Send cards to Elizabeth Andrews at Temple Living Center Western Hills and they will get it to her.
Thanks,
Erica

Arrrrr!

Today was Pirate day at "camp." Ms. Donna, the Tues/Thurs school director, has started a one day a week "camp" at church during the summer. The kids LOVE it! Each week there is a different theme and she will tell us what to dress as or what to bring. (Our kids were under dressed today as a few kids showed up in pirate costumes!) They have awesome snacks that correspond to the day's theme also. For example, today was fish sticks and chocolate coins wrapped in gold foil.

So, thank you to Ms. Donna and all the other ladies that help with camp and Tues/Thurs school. It is a wonderful break for the moms and a great experience for the kids.

A Little Flooding Can't Slow Us Down

Today was a good day- a busy day but a good day. We went to the Bell County Parade in downtown Belton this morning, swimming with some friends this afternoon, and to a church picnic/devo this evening. It rained off and on all day long but the kids had a lot of fun.

The HEB shopping cart is one of the funniest "floats" I have ever seen. I think I would pay money to ride in that thing.
