Summer Fun

Our community group had its end of the year bash at New Life Ranch. We had so much fun swimming, cooking out, and seeing the horses! Summer sure is fun!

Make New Friends, But Keep The Old...

... One is silver and the other's gold.
We had one last hurrah with Emma Claire this week complete with cupcakes and lots of playing. They are moving soon and our hearts are sad - but we know they will be happy in their new place! We Love You!

Father's Day Post

It was great to celebrate Father's Day morning with Papa and Daddy. Here we are on the eve of Father's Day opening gifts...I wore my "I love Dad" pj's in honor of the big day. I painted Daddy a special page in his Father's Day book....the baby even put a picture in this year.
I sure do love my Daddy!
Sunday afternoon, we met Grammy, Pappy, Jeff, Lorena, and Isabella at the pool...then had a picnic in the park. It was a great celebration!

Mum and Papa came for the weekend! We are having a a great time together. Here we are opening my surprise bag of goodies.....I love goodies.
My dear friend, Emma Claire, is moving soon. We adopted her play set. Daddy and Papa spent the whole day moving it and getting it all ready for me to enjoy. Thanks for sharing, EC! I sure do love it!
One Happy Girl!

Shopping With Grammy and Pappy

We met Grammy and Pappy at the outdoor mall on Saturday. Grammy and I threw coins into the fountain and made wishes.

Pappy and I shared a few gummy bears while Mommy and Grammy looked in stores.
Thanks for a great Saturday! I Love You!
Mum and Papa are coming to my house this weekend! Hurry up! I can't wait to see you!

Ava's First Fishing Derby

Ava had a ball at the fishing derby this year. The worms were definitely her favorite part!
Scott had loads of fun casting that Dora fishing pole!

Nash and Ava had a great morning together. Nash wanted to catch a shark and Ava wanted a pink fish. Neither were caught...go figure....maybe next year!

Girls Weekend - 2008

Sara, Ruth Lee, me, Emily, and Christy
We celebrated Girls Weekend 2008 on Memorial Day weekend. It was a great time - the only thing missing was 2 of the 7. Jackie was home with a sick child and Kelly is in Kiev....we did get to chat with her on the WebCam which was very fun! Hopefully 2009 will bring us all together again! This is most definitely a tradition to continue through many years to come! Good times indeed!

Special Delivery.....

...due December 3, 2008...
To say the least, we are very very excited to be a family of four! Please join us in praying for a healthy pregnancy. Ava insists that she will need a hammer to get the baby out and I walk around (most of the time) with Holly, the dolly, stuck up my shirt, thanks to Ava. Fun times indeed!

Transitions

Ava will be a free woman when she goes to bed tonight.....eeeek! We've had many little chats about staying in bed and sleeping like a big girl. To say she's excited is an understatement....we'll see just how exciting tonight really is!

TGIF

We saw Jamey and Jack at the local Farmer's Market this morning and decided to walk downtown....luckily, Jamey's Mom had a camera and shared these pictures with me. Our first stop was a little sight seeing (and hugging) at the newly remodeled fountain. After the fountain, we stopped by the local candy store to pick out some nickel and dime candy.... decisions...decisions...what's a girl to choose?!?! Oh the life!

Saturday with the "Greats"

We spent all day Saturday with G&G Great, Great Aunt Vickie, and Mum & Papa. We were so busy having fun, silly me forgot to take more pictures! Thanks for a great day everyone!


Good Times at the Festival

Last weekend was our annual Dogwood festival. We walked around and saw everything there was to see. Ava scored a "Slim Jim" balloon.....she was so proud!

Sweetest Card Ever!

There's nothing sweeter than the innocence of a first grader. I turned 31 last week and spent the weekend in Dallas with family. My sweet William gave me this card. Perhaps he got his words a little mixed up - but that's what makes it so perfect!

Backyard Camping

It's been a long long while since our last post.....
Scott set his tent up in the backyard last week so Ava could "camp" for a few minutes. I can't tell who had more fun...Scott or Ava?!?!
Good Times!

Signs of Spring

My neighbor, Nash, invited me to take a peek at his newborn bunny rabbits. They are so cute and teensy tiny! Nash and I love to play outside together...We are so thankful for our sweet neighbors!
