Our Memorial Day

The Billmire's, good family friends, invited us all over to celebrate Memorial Day with swimming, BBQ & lots of family & friends. They just happen to live across the street from G&G Cannon and we all had a blast.

Thank You!

Had to get a picture of Jack wearing his Jack T-shirt.

The sign of a great party!

Mulch is Beautiful

Steve and I decided it was time to spruce up the front & back yard just a little bit. All it took was a few new plants, about 2 1/2 yards of mulch and 2 days. And then it took longer to scrub our mulch stained hands, knees and feet. It was fun working together and seeing such great progress and now our beautiful yard. At least until our next yard project.

Randoms @ G&G's

We decided at the last minute to spend our 4 day weekend at my parents house for Memorial Day. It is always great to be able to get away. Thanks M&D letting come whenever we want.

There is always something exciting that happens while we are at G&G Cannon's house.
It helps that we have lots of cousins that live so close to them.

Celebrating Grandpa's 63rd Birthday

Lauren started this crazy chocolate ice cream scoop puzzle and I finished it. She was so proud!

The men hanging out while the kids were entertaining them.

Little Miss Teenager Cailie. She looks so grown up with her new haircut & MAKEUP!
Grandma and the girls doing best what Grandma & Girls do.

This is the most bizarre thing. There is a frog that lives in this bird house that hangs under eaves over my parents front porch. You can barely see it in this picture. But it manages to get up and down whenever it needs too. Crazy!

Watermelon

Grandpa was showing us all how to eat watermelon and then spit out the seeds.

Little Maxwell was following directions perfectly.

Even the farm frogs participated.

Texas Skies

This was our beautiful drive on our way up north to Decatur, Texas. I saw the beautiful skies in this first picture and then everyone started searching for more beautiful pictures of our Texas Skies. These are my favorites. And I guess since they aren't pictures of my kids, it was easy to only pick a few of the many the kids had me take.

Sailing Into 6th Grade

This was Ethan's Big 5th Grade celebration. They held the 5th Grade party at the Cinco Ranch Beach Club and they had our friend Sean Dolan, DJ. Look him up if you ever need his services!! He was awesome!!!

Ethan was surprised to find out that I was going to be a chaperon at his party. He just asked me to not stalk him. He jumped right out of the car and was way ahead of me in line. I was feeling great!!!

They had everything decorated so nice. I had fun chatting with the other moms. I asked Ethan if sometime during the party he would take a picture with me at the photo spot. And he came up to me when he was ready and I got my picture. Thank You Ethan. You made me proud.

When we got there, Ethan headed straight for the diving board where he pretty much stayed the whole time. He did stop to do a little bit of fun line dancing with Mr. DJ. But then he was back the diving boards. He didn't even stop to eat. Although, they really didn't have much that he could eat anyway.

I left early to head on over to Lauren's graduation, but when I came back to get him his arms were full of fun goodies. He had a great time!
