Kate Turns 7!!

Six Flags-- here come the Baileys!!

Kids got SUPER soaked on the Spashdown ride and then stood on the bridge twice!

Kate is not allowed to drive again til she is 16! :)

Kids all won blow up bats for "striking out" when playing a game.

Kate did not dare ride the "bigger" rides!

Carson & Carter on parachutes

Carson rode Judge Roy Scream roller coaster 5 times and LOVED every minute!

Waiting in line, you can see there were NONE!

Carson was HAPPY all day, here on the Carousel.

Fishing with the Boys

Andy has been taking the boys fishing the past week. Mostly they catch small perch, but the boys love to go and spend time with their daddy.

Carson casts his line into the water and then sits to wait on the bobber to move.

Andy & Carter getting their lines ready.

Date with Dad!

Andy took the girls on a date out... Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for dessert and then some games at Chuck E. Cheese. Girls had a great time and they love to be with their daddy.

Papa gave Kate this special necklace, (Texas Quarter), b/c she was born the month it came out. She wore it just for their date night.

Baby Stella

Our friends, Walter & Kelly, had their 1st child, Stella, in late June. The kids and I went to visit and everyone had their turn holding her. She seemed so small, guess we just forget how small newborns are.

As I hold Stella, I am reminded that my neice will be here soon. Oh, how I love those babies!

Carson's Baseball

Carson had his 1st season of baseball in May/June. He loved it, played 1st base most of the time. He is playing with his same team in the Fall for Flag Football.

Carter's 10th Birthday

Carter invited several friends to go bowling & swimming with him for his bday. I can't believe already double digits, 10 years old! His 2 friends from FBA were able to come, too and spend the night and help him celebrate, thanks Brody & Jared! Wouldn't be the same without you!

Carter being funny, put a "glow in the dark" button on his nose!

We had a beautiful Easter Sunday, just a little windy!

Andy said we look like one big Easter egg. He was probably right, but hey, once a year...and I think we look nice!
