Field Day Fun?

Jack & his class had to wear orange-
nobody wears orange on purpose.












Who are these "cool" kids & where is my silly 10 year old?































Oh- here he is...

Ethan & Connor

Ethan's teacher, Mrs. Adair, was so cute! She joined in on the fun. She was wacking anyone she could (and loving it!)

Ethan was glad she was playing- he was able to wack out a little frustration on his teacher (just kiddin'- we've got nothin' but love for that woman!)

Long Live The Jump Rope King!

SToRK ReuNioN 2008

We spent our weekend at Kerrville State Park on the Guadalupe River with my dad's side of the family. (The crazy ones) Everyone was there except my cousin Brian who did not want to miss his prom. My dad is the 2nd of 4 boys. There were 41 of us. I loved it- I did not want it to end. Being stuck with family with nothing to do but eat, drink, talk & swim is my idea of a good time! We are incredibly blessed to all enjoy being together.

Pipes (she said- "hey, my teacher calls me that!" when I call her "Pipes") & Lil Kate joined at the hip. I only know of one "fight" over the entire 3 days! They are being mermaids in the 3rd pic.

The Guadalupe River

We had SMORE fun at night!!!

On our way home we decided to hike

up Enchanted Rock (outside of Fredricksburg) at 3:00 pm (SO HOT!)

The kids were awesome!!! The boys practically ran up to the summit. Lily never cried (though Donald did have to carry her the last little bit). I had been to the top in high school- it felt a little harder this time!

This picture pretty much sums up our Memorial Day weekend- we had such a great time. I LOVE my family!!! All 41 of them.

We're WILD about the ZOO!!!

In honor of the letter "Z"- Lily Kate's Pre-K class goes to the zoo!

We were blessed with AWESOME weather. I just knew it would be 95 & humid, but our morning was great!!! The sun did not really come out until around 1:00. We had a blast!!!

Robin & I took our crew to Barnes & Noble afterward for "chinos". I am so glad that Hayden did not get kicked out of the "library".

Michael + Allison Part 2

Michael + Allison

my cousin, Michael got married today! It was such a great wedding! My aunt, Karen, & I took a lot of the pictures for them. they were so fun to shoot! This is my favorite one so far (the one of them- not me, but I do love to have pictures with Michael- he was the closest thing I had to a brother growing up.) I love you Michael! may God bless you & Allison- He already has!!!

I am smokin"!!! Okay, so what if it is Kelly Ripa's body. I was playing around
(sometimes I call it "working") with photoshop- trying on new hairstyles. I think I like this one. I may also put in a special order for this body.


What do you think? About the hairstyle- not the body. I have been growing my hair out for a while, but you know what- it is ALWAYS in a pony tail. ( It is in one right now as a matter of fact.)


To cut or not to cut- that is the question...

VOTE

What to do? I got the fam all dressed up- went up to the "studio"- and did the press the button run into place thing about 15 times. This is what I got. I am quite tired of this whole directory thing- half of me wants to say- "Who cares?" and put this one in as is... and the other half of me thinks- I have worked way too hard to have the kids' arms crossed for the next 3 years. Which half should I listen to? Please comment...
