 Team Branding!

 Alright we convinced the boys to do some pig wrestling.  Grandpa donated some team shirts and they were the Wild Ones!!  The older boys found out their was money involved and really kick some trash.  They went in with a plan and by the time they put the pig in the barrel the little boys had tip toed to the barrel.  It was so cute.  They each won 50 bucks thanks to Carter and Coopers hard work.  Way to go you Wild Ones!

 OK....I put a team together and of course....we kicked trash.... HA HA HA.  I can at least say I have pig wrestled.  I think once is enough!

Simply Adorable!!

 After church Cashlee got a hold of Sydnee's goggles and I found her on the porch enjoying life!!

 I thought how cute and ran into get my camera. 

 She gave me a few smiles!!  I love having these sweet children.  They really are pure joy!!

 They bring so many smiles to my face......I simply thought how adorable!!

Niter Ice Cave!

So we had to go and see what the Niter Ice Cave was all about.  So we took a short family adventure!

Chase found a dead mouse and was fascinated by it.

The cave was pretty interesting. The kids thought it was cool.  Really it was nice and cool in the middle of summer.  It was created by lava cooling leaving a cave which the pioneers use to keep their food cold. 

Party at Stephanie's house.  Had to get a picture with Grandma and Grandpa.  They are the greatest!

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.

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!!
