WAY TOO MANY BIRTHDAY'S IN AUGUST.

We have lots of birthdays in August, so we usually try to have a party as close to my Dad's birthday as we can. This is always a very special party for us, but this year was just a little more special, since my Dad turned 70 years young. He is absolutely the most wonderful father in the world. He is the best.

There is absolutely nothing in the world that makes my parents happier, than to have their four kids and their families gather for a celebration. What a wonderful day today was. Michael was the only one not able to be there, as he had drill this weekend.

Happy Birthday to Makayla (my great niece), Mitzi (my sister), Amanda (my niece), Wade (my nephew) and THE BEST DAD IN THE WORLD...

AND NOW FOR A PEAK AT OUR NEW BABIES...

Somehow or another we have managed to come home with two additions to our family. Two Siamese (full blooded) kittens. No names as of yet, we will have to figure those out after a few days.

We really did not need any more animals, but we were pulling out of the Wal-mart parking lot this morning from picking up the birthday cake, and I was driving, and I spotted the truck with a sign on it, and I told Marcus that we just had to stop and look at them. I immediately called to ask y parents if anyone wanted them, and Marcus said that he wanted the male. Well that was all I needed to hear from him. It is very rare to see Siamese kittens. They are so hard to find in Mississippi. That is the only kind we had when I was growing up, so they have always been my favorite kind of cat.

The poor kittens were so tired after the party today, they slept all the way home. Actually they all three got a good nap on the way home, since I was driving.

P.S. Michael, you have to come by and meet your new siblings. You might not be able to find Creature, she went outside the minute she saw them, and she will not come back in. It will take her weeks and weeks to adjust, and then she still might not accept them.

Our Dish Network is out, and we decided to go with Direct tv, and it won't be installed until Thursday, but I think that these two new kittens will keep us plenty busy and laughing.
