4th of July Celebration

Each year Adam's parents have family over for the 4th. With the heat and fireworks ban, everyone mostly stayed inside (except for the kids). Pop and Boca do have a lot of shade which helped cool things down a bit. We ended the night watching the high school stadium's firework display!

Cali & Taylor..two of a kind

Let the fireworks begin!

Yummy SMORES!!!

Last Tournament of Baseball

Cade's team played in their final tournament of the season, World Series. We played 7 games in 4 days. That's a lot of baseball (101+ degrees without heat index) but it was so much fun! What a great group of people, boys and families! Baseball is Cade's #1 sport that he loves and we love to watch. We were sad to see the season end! Another fun season...

June 2012

June in a nutshell: BUSY- summer school, dance recital, dance camp, baseball, more baseball, golf, swim lessons, waterpark, sweet Caroline's birthday, and as much time at home as possible....

Cali's 1st Dance Recital...

She LOVES to pose!

Cali loved this cow at the Cowtown Showdown baseball tournament.

This is the sight I saw when I opened Cade's music room door...PRICELESS!

Entertaining wore them out! Buds through and through!

May Marvels...

Cade's Confirmation, Mother's day, end-of-school year celebrations, a friend's birthday party, T-Bones game, and baseball consumed most of our month in May. The weather was great and we had a full schedule of fun activities! Our days, especially weekends go fast but the things we do together are lots of fun and full of great memories!

I did it! 1st grade here I come!

The BEST TEACHER EVER, Mrs. Moses!

Cali had to show us that she mastered the monkey bars! Go little Liu!

Pirates R.O.C.K. (school-community partnership) Celebration

Too much partying...Zzzzzz

Cade took a 4 month Confirmation class at our church. He learned so much about the history of Methodists, church, and above all, God. We are so proud of him for his hard work! He even taught us some stuff! Cade, we are so amazed by your faith. We pray that you continue to be the person you were meant to be. Believe in yourself and all you do! Life will take you many great places with good choices! WE LOVE YOU!

Pastor Jeff and youth leader, Ms. Katie

Happy Mother's Day...

Thank you to Adam, Cade, and Cali for making my day so special! There is no place better to be than with you guys at home! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, forever and always!
