Happy Birthday from the Hoglands!

The Hoglands invited us over for dinner and bday celebration for Kayla and Kate. The food was awesome and of course, lots of cupcakes! Thanks for everything!


YUM! YUM!


Kate's new watch-- she kept saying, "I just love it, Mom!"

Kayla loved her new watch too!

Lake Texoma Fun!

We headed out Saturday to Lake Texoma with the Rockwells. It was a fun day of boating, tubing, jet skis, and swimming! Thanks to Brian & Dusty for making our lake outing extra fun! The kids loved it and can't wait to go back!

Dusty, Andy's cousin, would throw Carson up in the air for a fun splash into the lake.

Kate all smiles before she went tubing!

Serving in West Dallas

I got an email Wed. night that Watermark was serving at an Elementary School in West Dallas the following day. I was also watching Brody & Brock and thought, why not?? Let's go serve at this school, a great opportunity to give back!! So all 6 kids and I loaded up, picked up school supplies at Target, and headed to West Dallas.


We were assigned Mrs. Fiona's room to organize books, clean desks & chairs, sharpen pencils, sweep, etc.
