Great Adventure with Friends!

For a summer adventure we went to Hooper Park.  There is a natural spring there which we took some cool aid and made a yummy drink.  The water taste a bit carbonated to that was fun!

The kids had fun playing in the creeks!

Chase, Piper, Adele, Karlee, Tate, Sydnee, and Cashlee.  What a party group!!

Then anther week they put together a lemonade stand. Neighbors, friends, and all!!

The boys earning a bit of money!! They all made a dollar. 

Sydnee and Addison

Emma and Adale

T -Ball

The kids had fun this summer playing T-ball.  Chase really got into it.  Sydnee not so much but she had fun.  She really like hitting it but not to much out field.  Torture for Mom and Dad but ya have to start somewhere.  Right?

Forth of July!

 Can you believe that my camera was out of battery on the forth of July.  I missed those cute faces at the parade.  However, that afternoon we got it charged for the roping event with the Wilker's.  They invited us to a round robin team roping and sorting.  Hey......I even got on a horse and in on the action.  We all had so much fun.  Thanks to the Wilker's for a great event!!

 The kids played in the sand.  They played in the tree house and some even rode in the barrel competition and team sorting. 

 Cashlee had fun in the sand with her cousin Hallie!

Our little nephew Bodee loves to get in some cowboy time.  He did the barrels on his horse Duke.

 Sydnee did barrels in style.  Look at that.... no shoes.... but she did a great job on Three Socks.

 Nephew Carter gave it a try to.  We had so much fun!!

We are so blessed to live in a great land.  I love the freedom we have and can not express enough gratitude for those who have and still fight for us.  God bless America!!

Catching up......

 We have been having fun this summer.  We tried fishing at the Soda Pond at Kelley's Park.  We could see tons of fish but none of them wanted any worm food.  We had no luck, but the kids had fun.  Court was a good sport since this is not his favorite past time.

 Sydnee was trying hard to catch one!!

Cashlee was having fun just dipping the pole.  It was fun to watch!

 Cashlee and her cousin Hadlie were having lots of fun.  They both had a time eating yogurt.

 Court was so proud to catch his daughter playing horses in the kitchen!!

 Swimming in our pool.  It's so big...(wink)..but lots of fun!!

 Look at our cute kitten named Buckaroo!!

Just a catch up.....Sydnee has become a T.V. addict.  When she is not caught doing that she loves to sew and ride her bike.  Sydnee is really the big teaser around the house.  She gets that from her Dad!  Chase is a bike riding machine.  He loves to ride what he calls his motorcycle.  Oh, and how could we forget shooting Rock chucks with his Dad.  Occasionally his Mom will go shoot pop cans with him, but most of the time we shoot cups with the Nerf guns.  Chase calls his a twenty-two.  So cute!!  Cashlee loves to push her babies in the stroller.  She always has a baby with her.  When it's not a baby doll it is a kitten.  She loves to point and tell her brother and sister DON"T!!  Once and a while when Court kisses her he gets the point and the work DON'T!!  She also says naughty and no...no.. really well!!  Poor kitty's are always in trouble!

But, look at that smile....Good thing it is cute!!  I am so blessed to have these children in my life.  I am thankful every day for a awesome family!

Here was our little tribute to Courtney and the Grandpa's for Father's Day.  Court is and awesome Dad.  We love him so much.  Thanks for all you do!!

Memorial Day!!

 It is always cold on Memorial day, but I still love to get out and remember those who fought for us and our heritage.  I love to teach my kids about their Grandparents and those who lead the way before us.

 It is always fun to share it with family.

 Cashlee and Hallie so cute together!
