My little CHEFS

2 yards of fabric, 3 hours in front of the sewing machine, one terrific memory and happy kids priceless...
I have been promissing Emily that I would make her an apron, I finally got around to it and all the kids wanted one, so I spent an entire morning in front of the sewing machine and this is the outcome...MY FOUR LITTLE CHEFS...then they had to cook lunch and dinner. They did a very good job and I am so glad that I could make their day.
My girls do a good job using the stove, Emily is a pro:)
Olivia never wears clothes
Hunter was so carefull with the knife

Love the hot dog oli...

~We LOVE you Uncle Trev~





These are the best pictures...My kids absolutely love their uncle Trevor and we are so proud of him and all the good examples he sets for them, these hugs are priceless and so are the smiles, thank you Trevor:)

*Texas Vacation*

We traveled to San Antonio TX for Chris's little brother Trevor's Graduation. We had so much fun and we did a lot of things I have so many picture that I had a hard time picking ones to post, so here are a few that I took,but it is still a Lot.
This picture didn't turn out I am bummed it was Trevor walking across the stage.

Trevor, Chris's little brother, before his Army combat Medic graduation. We are so Proud of you Trevor and for this accomplishment. This was a neat experience. I loved all the chants and things during the graduation, they were moving and emotional. I want to thank the soldiers who sacrifice their lives for the cause of our freedom. May we not take any of it for granite.
They had these signs on the base each had Virtues on them I thought this was neat so I took a picture of course.
These are pictures from the banquet dinner the night before Graduation on the base. Trevor taking an oath and Trevor.

My kids loved this Jacuzzi tub, we couldn't keep them out of it.
I took these picture in the yard, they turned out cute


we were so mixed up on the time change that Emily was eating breakfast while grandma was cooking lunch.


just chill'axin
HMMM George what do you think, how's we make this thing work...

This is my Favorite picture ever, Hunter picked me wild sunflowers my favorite and Olivia wanted to play with them it was so cute so i grabbed the camera and started taking pictures, glad that I did.
The house we stayed in was huge, 6 bedrooms and 5 baths here are some pictures...every room had 2 double beds except for one. It was nice to have all the space for the kids to run around and be free after a 12 hour drive. Each room had its own flat screen TV which was nice to there wasn't much fighting.


This was the biggest bathroom ever, and this is only half...
We went to Sea World, San Antonio. It was fun, but very very hot. Olivia had her face painted because she couldn't ride any rides and it melted off her face within a couple of hours. They had all kinds of shows and rides. They had these huge roller coasters..OMG I got so sick on one, that was it for me. Some of us watched the fireworks on the grass by the lake, and the rest watched them (Emily and Katelyn) on one of the roller coasters.
Grandma and Grandpa with the girls waiting to see Shamu
the Family at one of the shows
this was a neat show to watch

Update on our garden


Our Garden is bursting at the seems. we get lots of squash, chili's, and some zucchini's and cucumbers and we have a ton of Green tomatoes they are not getting red yet, YUM YUM we can't wait. The kids go out every morning and pull weeds and pick the garden. It is fun to seem them so excited...gardening is great!

Happy Fathers Day


Happy Fathers day. The kids were so excited for fathers day they picked out the present, a wii hunting game(hunter had a lot of pull in the decision) They cooked for him and made him cards. We love you dad and we are so proud to have you in our lives. Thank you for all that you do every single day...you are awesome. We LOVE you!!

LET'S PLAY BALL

We had a busy month in June doing a whole lot of ball games.
Hunter Played T-ball and he loved it and did very well one of the best on his team, i think, but I am his mommy. he was a Giant. One of his first practices his team was running bases in a group and when they were rounding 2ND base Hunter and another player had a collision that gave him a black eye, the player just happened to be a girl and she was fine but we gave him the hardest time, it was funny..

Katelyn's team was the Marlins. She was in coach pitch and she did very well hitting the ball and making it to base, don't you love the pink helmet... GO Katelyn

Emily was in softball, her team name was the Racers, GO Go Go you Mighty Racers, they had all kinds of chants and songs it was fun to watch these games. Emily did very well, she was always up last to bat but she always did her best and surprised everyone, she played outfield and got a few outs. Playing ball always comes with getting hit by the ball and she got hit a few times but she learned to toughen up, we are proud of her. One of her last games was a tournament game and some of the kids started to get attacked by black ants on the Field so they brought down this over sized weed burner and tried to burn them out but it didn't seem to be working so then they had to play on a different Field, that was the best game ever we were up cheering and screaming. It also was raining and cold, and there was a beautiful rainbow. It was fun.
