Lazy days of summer...

I have been so lazy about blogging lately...however, I have finally posted pictures on vacation and Kyler's graduation.  Jayden, Kyler and Evan spent the day with us yesterday while their parents worked.  It was a great summer day.  Phillip and the boys put up the ping-pong table and the boys learned the basics.  In fact, they claim that they beat Pop on that last game.  We swam in the lake here at the house and then took the boat out and did a little fishing.  With three boys fishing, I stepped in and helped Pop keep all the hooks baited.  Yes, I actually put a minnow on a hook (a first for me)!  After we got back to the house, we sat on the shore throwing rocks into the water.  We had watermellon and fresh pineapple on the deck and by the time Melissa got here, they were sticky and stinky from head to toe, and not ready to go home.  But they couldn't spend the night because Phillip and I had to get up at 5:00 this morning to get to the Wal Mart Shareholder's meeting. 

This was our first time to attend the shareholder's meeting  and it was so much fun.  At 6:15 AM we were rocking to a local 70's rock-n-roll band.  Over the next four hours we were entertained by Jamie Foxx, Mary J Blige, Enriche Iglesias, the latest winner of American Idol (Lee DeWyze), Mariah Carey and Josh Groban, with each artist performing two songs.  It was a meeting, so some business was mixed in, but I also enjoyed that part.  More than 16,000 people from all over the world were in attendance.  It's been kinda crazy all week up here in NWA with all of the people in town for the meeting.
