Bowling

We had a great time bowling with our friends today. I was nervous at first because we would be taking EVERYONE without Earl, but it worked out really well. Thanks to my awesome friend *Mindy*, my awesome niece *Caitlyn*, and our awesome family friend *Amy* we were able to keep track of all the kids and still have lots of fun!

Thanks you guys! Extra thanks to Mindy for taking and sharing the pictures!!

New Family Pics

We found an awesome photographer through my sister, Trisha. Her name is Cheri Rodas and she did a great job with Brayden. She was so quick and very easy going with him. It is so nice to have an official family portrait. We'll have the big 16x20 up on the wall in the next few weeks. Come see it when you can!

We also had individual pics taken of the kids. They are all so gorgeous!









Yes, the pictures are small. Guess you'll all have to come see the real things at our house. The pictures and the people!

Tim McGraw Concert

My friend, Mindy, my sister, Trisha, and I went to see Tim McGraw in concert! It was so much fun. We had a great time going out to dinner and hanging out. No kids, no hubbies, just us girls. It was really fun!

Of course, I knew some of the words to the songs, while Mindy knew them ALL! We sang, laughed, cried (a little) and just had a really great time.

More girls nights away coming soon!

Just Because Flowers

No pics right now, cuz its late and I can't find my usb cable, but had to make sure I posted about my "Just Because" flowers. I'm such a lucky girl. The other night Earl brought home 3 DOZEN ROSES. For no reason at all. I was so impressed! Two dozen peach. One dozen white. They are gorgeous!

New Pics

We are only two weeks into our summer break, but we have been very busy! Enjoy the update!

Dream Night

I haven't had time to get pictures off of my camera yet (we're having a busy, but fun, summer) but wanted to post about Dream Night. We had such a wonderful time. Hogle Zoo is so generous to donate admission to the park for so many families. Being there after hours was awesome! We saw the big cats up close and personal instead of trying to figure out where they were sleeping in their enclosures. Spencer and Andraia had their faces painted. Spencer like a parrot, Andraia like a butterfly. We rode the brand new conservation carousel and the zoo train. The kids even got to spend time at the playground. We usually don't do that because it is so crowded, but no this time! They also provided a great dinner and wonderful family-friendly entertainment. It was a blast. We can't wait to do it again. In fact, we are zoo members now, and have a member night this week so we'll be there after hours again. If that's even half as much fun, we will be thrilled!
