We went to Texas a couple weekends ago to lay
the dining room floor in mom's house. Pray that they
will be able to get this house finished and move out
ASAP!! This house is much more than they bargained for! Haven and Calla are growing like weeds, they get prettier every time I see them!

Happy Independance Day

No matter what it is he will jump over it. By the way,
he landed this trick!


Maybe I shouldn't light this right next to the house


OH MY! That was a loud firework!!

Do you believe she's as sweet as she looks?


Waiting for fireworks can be exhausting!

I'm not sure if you can tell but Reb did get his
hair cut, it starts shorter on one and gets longer.
He can not decide if he wants that blond strip
to be red or white so we stopped to give it a few
days. I guess I will finish it some time this week.

Rebel and Jaesen

OK..I know some of you have been waiting to see his girlfriend. Since I am
"totally embarrassing" and take pictures for everything I HAD to get the
first girlfriend. She is a sweet girl ...they are equally annoying and dress just alike.
Reb acted like his life was ending at the torture from the hands of his own
mother. You would think he would be used to it by now!!

Ellie's new moves


I told him to give me a serious look and the only
way he could do it without smiling was to not look
at me

Jeff's company picnic

They had a few games for the kids to play then
they wanted to go swimming...it was fun

Ellie and another of her school buddies

Reb and his good friend. Ellie just loves
Tanner.

Ellie went to Koree's birthday party. They went
swimming and went to get their toes painted.

We got to go out on a date. That does
not happen very often.

Track meet awards

His good sport award. He cheered for everyone.

He won the boy track award for his age group.
He got 1st in the 50 yard dash, 1st in the 100
yard dash, 1st in the mile run and 2nd in the
long jump.

She is her daddy's girl!!

Sarah's bridal shower

A friend of mine, Sarah, is getting married to her Marine
when he comes home in a few days. He will be home for
2 weeks before being deployed. A few of the girls from work
came over and we threw her a shower.

The hostesses

I work with all these girls

All little girls play in the sand in June in UGGS right?

Well, Rebel made it back just fine. He said that he had a blast. Hearing him talk the camp has changed in the last several years. He said that he can't wait to go back next year. I'm sure he had more junk food than I let him eat all year, even though he assured me he only had 2 cokes when he was gone, yeah right!! He did say that everyone still walked around the circle trail that goes around the the camp in the evening. Played lots of games...he came home with a horrible skull and cross bone belt buckle he won.

OK everyone, the down side.....he has been on the phone non-stop with his "girlfriend" since he got back. She is an older woman (13) and goes to church with him. The ONLY reason I don't have a problem with it...he sees her at church on Wednesdays and Sundays only. Speaking of church we are about to leave. By the way, he did not take one single picture. Sorry...

He really left me for a week

It is a good thing I know he loves me.

No, no one needs to tell me he looks like a little punk.
It is all an image...he really is a sweet boy. REALLY!!

I guess they have to wear name tags now. They look
like backstage passes.

There he goes. I did walk him up there. This is him
coming back for one more hug and kiss that no one
would see. I told you he is sweet.

I have to say that Reb did call the other night and I asked if he missed me. He said he is having a lot of fun and no he did not miss me. He did say that he loved me and will see me Saturday. He did not give me time to grill him on details. OH, I will when he gets home. He can count on it!!!

Getting Ready For Church Camp

I will take any smile I can get. He is the most serious
child in the world.

Better make sure the board is ready.

Oh well....at least we are packed and ready.
These boys did not go. What are they to do all week?

They used EVERY pillow in the house to make
a pillow floor. It goes all the way down the hall
around the corner and into to kitchen.

This makes me laugh..she looks cross-eyed!
