A small attempt to pen those precious moments that seem to go by all too quickly. Things that would easily be forgotten.....may they always be remembered....here's hoping this site never crashes. :)

They grow up WAY too fast!!

***I am WAY behind on my blogging for this month. :) So today I am getting caught up. There are 6 new posts if you are interested.***



This past weekend we went back to PC for a wedding of one of our former students. It was great to see a lot of people we haven't seen in a long time, and to catch up with some of our friends. The bride was beautiful, and the fellowship was sweet.


Rachel, Tiffany, and me.

I started in a small group with these girls when they were in 8th grade (makes me feel old), BUT 9 years later extremly excited that both of them are still walking with the Lord. I love you girls!! Congratulations Tiffany! You've got a great guy, and he couldn't be more blessed to have you as his wife.

Wee School Graduation.

CT is officially finished with Wee-School. We have had a great 5 years there. We started him when he turned 1, and he has loved every minute of it. We still have two more years with KG, but CT is now officially a kindergartener. :)

Kindergarten Registration

We registered CT for kindergaten the other day. Pottsy came over to have lunch with us, and then helped me entertain the kids while I registered CT. He is very excited and can't wait for school to start in the fall. It has gotten here much faster than I had anticipated, but we are excited about a new chapter in our lives.

Puggles and Awanas Awards.

The kids had a great year in Puggles and Awanas. KG loved going to puggles. CT really enjoyed Cubbies, and has learned a LOT of scripture this year. He will just quote it off the top of his head. Next year our church is switching to Team Kids which we are excited about!

KG with her puggles class.
KG getting her Puggles awards. I think this is mainly a participation award at this age. :) She was excited!

CT with is cubbies class. He got the highest awards you can get. Second Book Award, Apple Tree Award, and Perfect Attendance Award (We don't think they kept very good records on the attendance. :) ha!)


CT singing with his class.
We are so very proud of both of them, and their love for the Lord!



The Flood of 09.

This is the second year in a row that we have had record breaking rainfall in short amounts of time. On this particular day I think we got around 10 inches in just a few short hours. There were a lot of people in town that had flood damage. Luckily ours stayed just far enough away. :) We are thankful!

Last Soccer Game

CT finished up his fourth season playing soccer, and he still LOVES it!! He is always so sad when it is over. He is already counting down the days until fall soccer starts. :) We had a great season this spring. They were undefeated!! Way to go Lions!!


Some of our friends came out to cheer us on. KG was loving this.

A little Vay-Cay!!

This past week T had a week of vacation that we had to either use or lose. So we chose to use it. We packed up the fam and headed to Branson for the week. We used our timeshare week so we stayed for FREE. ha ha!! Not really fee seeing that we pay for it monthly, but anyway it was a great place to stay!

Some friends of ours came Sat/Sun and T played golf with them those two days. They had a great time, but had to cut their Sunday game short due to heavy rains.


T and Kam. Watch for her in the Pro PGA in the future. :) 





One night we packed the kids up and told them we had a surprise night planned.
Our first stop was Shogun's. Here is our guy "entertaining" us before he cooked our meal.
Getting the grill good and hot!
The kids thought this was pretty cool.
Some of the best "Fri Ri" eva!
Onion volcano. 



After dinner we headed down to Branson Landing for another surprise. We took CT to his first.
Ridemakerz. This was the same concept as Build a Bear, but you got to build a car. Really cool concept. 
CT picked out the chassiz and the body for his car.
Next on to picking out his wheelz. We stayed with everything stock this first time. We can always upgrade later.
Daddy helping CT screw his car together.
CT with his finished product. It also makes noise and has flashing lights. He LOVED this!
Next we headed over for KG's first Build a Bear experience.
KG picked out her puppy and started stuffing. Here she is pushing the pedal that fills her dog up.
Daddy helping KG give her puppy a bath.
Miss KG with her finished puppy whom she named Sevey. We have no idea where this came from, but she was adamant about it.



Half way through the week Mimi and Poppi came up to stay the night. They took us to see Noah The Musical. It was FABULOUS!! Even KG sat through the whole thing without getting up. Of course M&M's at intermission helped a little. :)
Outside waiting on the musical to start. 
Inside with Mimi and Poppi.



Toward the end of the week we took the kids to Steal Your Dollar City. :) AKA Silver Dollar City.
First ride in CT wanted to tackle a roller coaster. So T took him to one he was tall enough for. He was so excited. Too bad they didn't realize they were riding backwards. T said CT had a hard time keeping his head up, BUT he LOVED it. :) I rode it with him towards the end of the day, but we made sure we were facing forward.
KG on her first roller coaster. She liked this, the tea cups, and the swings, BUT that was about it. We took her on Fire in the Hole and the Log Ride. She screamed the whole time on both of them.
Spinning on the tea cups.
Daddy and CT riding the river raft. They got pretty wet on this ride. 
CT won an OU basketball. He made both shots the first time. He was pumped!
Daddy and CT enjoying the fire and water show at Branson Landing. We ate at Texas Land and Cattle Co. It was good, but we had really slow service. So slow we saw the water show twice. It plays once an hour. We did get free dessert due to the slow service. :)
Here is our little bungalow that we stayed in for the week. They are really nice, and very roomy- Stormy Point.  We had a great time relaxing and just hanging out together!
