Georgia's Peaches: July 2010

It has been so hot here in Augusta. I almost feel like I am back in Arizona except that it is so humid that you never feel dry. We keep our thermostat at 74 degrees with all the ceiling fans on and still cant get cool enough. So I thought I would post some pictures of how cold it was this winter. Augusta had a freak snow storm this winter and my kids were so thrilled. We don't have any snow gear because we have never needed it. They played until they were completely frozen, came in for hot chocolate and then went back out for more.

These first two pictures are of Grace, Kate and the first few flurries.

Jarod came out after the snow started to stick to the ground.

Making a snow man

Kate came inside really sad and said "Dad hit me in the face with a snowball!!!!" She was done playing after that.

This was after the snow finally stopped falling. We never expected this much snow. It was a fun day.

The night before graduation my nursing class had a pinning ceremony. It is a tradition where we take the Nightingale Pledge and our family pins us. It was very long!!!!! My parents, Nathans parents, My Grandma Schroeder and Aunt Teri all came to support me. It was very nice to have them here. We loved having them.

The kids were very excited to be come on the stage to pin me. Just a coulple of minutes before they called my name Grace threw up all over Grandma Cogbill. When Nathan came to pin me he told me what just happened. So instead of looking excited I think I looked a little puzzled and grossed out. Grace was not feeling well at all. I felt bad for the poor people that sat around my family. Kate was so excited when she got to the stage that she couldnt stop jumping. She just kept jumping in a circle. She only held still long enough to get her picture taken, then jumped all the way back to her seat. Grace, Kate and both Grandma Cogbill and Slider left to get cleaned up and showered. Thanks Mom and Charlyn.

I made a lot of good friends in school. These are two of the best people I know. Diana and Charles were my study buddies. We spent a lot of long later nights and weekends together. We think we have got to be the funniest people around. We laughede and talked about as much as we studied. I could not have made it through school with out them.

Here is Grace and her Grandmas coming out of the bathroom after the big incident. She really did not feel good and was very sad the she didnt get to go on stage.
