For Hair cuts contact: Ruthie Chesser

Ruthie told me when ask her why did you cut your hair. " I want my hair to as bewtiful as yors Mommy". She didn't realize doesn't cut her own hair. So if you see sporting side pony tails on the right side of her head , that why. I went to my room and shed a few tears about it . But I am dealing with the best I can.

An Adventure

Ruthie was wanting to go on an adventure so she got Backpack and Map (characters from Dora the Explorer) and put her and I a water bottle each in it. We went up and down our street finding some very interesting things. Here is the list of some of the items:

(1.) toilet paper from our front yard, that keeps falling out of the trees every time it rains. We can thank Chelsea's friends for the great toilet papering job they did. (2.) leaves and yes every single one is special (3.)Rocks, rocks and more rocks.

(4.) wire (5.) pine cones (6.) Sticks of all sizes. (7.) pecan shells (8.) Some things we couldn't figure out what they were.

(9.) Rope (10.) tree bark Last but not least number (11.) a "coke" bottle cap, that's what she thinks anyway. We had lots of fun.

Fun in the Sun

Chelsea and Ruthie playing in our backyard pool.

Memaw & Kenzie Visit

My mom and niece came to visit for several days this past week. We had a great time and Ruthie and Kenzie played very well together. I caught them playing nicely in the sandbox and couldn't resist taking a some pictures.

Chelsea has her permit now, so of course she convinced Memaw to let her drive around town. I think Memaw a seen more of Brownwood/Early than she ever cared to. :)

Aggie Softball

This past weekend Rodney, Ruthie and I went to College Station to watch the Aggie Softball team win Regionals. Chelsea decided she wanted to stay with a friend. She's not as in to the softball thing as we are. Poor Ruthie, she doesn't have a choice. Here are some pics with a daughter of some of our good friends. You may notice we got some sun that day.

Are you smarter than 3 1/2 year old?

I swear I have the smartest 3 1/2 year old. Yesterday we were leaving the school and there was a little boy who was sitting on the curb. Ruthie waves to him and says, "Bye Alex". He had a haircut like Alex did in a picture. I told her that he wasn't Alex and she asked, "Where is Alex?" I reminded her he is in Heaven with God. She asked,When can I see him again?" I told her when Jesus, God son comes back. That answer seemed to be enough for her. So, fast forward to this morning. I am sitting at the computer and she comes up to me and ask me, "Mommy is God Back?" At first I didn't understand her, I never dreamed that would come out of her mouth. When I had to tell her "No, not yet" she walked off with this sad look on her face. I asked her what was wrong and she said, " I want to see my Alex." I know she doesn't totally understand the concept of Jesus' return and that God is the most important part of His return, but she's learning. I too anticipate Jesus' return to be with God and His Son and so I can see mine as well. I have to admit sometimes my interest is more in seeing my son, but I know God understands that I am human.

Also, I think Ruthie is proof that pictures speak a thousand words, that is the only way she has seen her brother.
