BLOG OVERLOAD

The last couple of weeks have been SO busy!! I have taken tons of pictures, but haven't had time to post them. So, 10 POSTS IN ONE DAY!

I hope you enjoy catching up with us!

Last Day of School (5/29)

Mrs. Cheek and Maddie

Maddie and Mrs. Montgomery

Cameo, Mandi, Audrey, Madison, MacKenzie, Taylor, Reagan and Maddie

I can't believe my first born is now a SECOND GRADER!! When she was getting dressed for school, I realized I had bought the wrong size socks (too big)...Maddie said, "That's ok, I'm almost a second grader so I bet they will fit!"

We are SO READY for summer fun... just a little sad that it means another grade older! Time really flies!

End of Year Party Day (5/28)

Reagan, Maddie and Madison

Granny brought Kenzie over to join Maddie for party day!

Sisters...

Kenzie and Ruby crashed another class party... these kids were taking a break for lunch so the girls decided to give it a try! I didn't think to bring a swimsuit for Kenzie, but she has just as much fun in her little dress!

Ruby

Sno Cones

Maddie, Abby and MacKenzie

Crazy girls!

RVE Awards 2009

I am so proud of Maddie and a great 1st grade year!!

The "A Honor Roll" kids

The "Principal's Award" for having the highest GPA in her class!! Go Maddie!!! That's my girl!

The "Citizenship Award"

Maddie with Mrs. Montgomery (The red puffy eyes are from crying because she didn't get the AR trophy this year...she wasn't even close and knew it all year!! I kept telling her she needed to bring her books home, but she told me "I want to let someone else win it this year." Maybe next year she will decide to read more!)

I am so proud of my girl!

Memorial Day 2009

More fun times at Splash Station! Damien, Joanna and the boys stayed with us Sunday night, and the big boys played golf on Monday. So, Joanna and I took the kids to play at the water park.

Chance, Maddie, Kenzie and Bryce

Bryce and Kenzie had "a ball" playing ball!

Kenzie sporting the 3rd edition of Ariel! (I'm sure I'll have many more chances to get a better picture of it!)

4 cousins=great times!

Silly Girls (5/24)

We just thought we were done with pacifiers!! Kenzie found this baby doll paci and started crawling around the house! I really think if we gave her pacis back, she would gladly take them!

Maddie with her baby monitor attached to her shirt, and Kenzie with her pet snake.

Dirt Bike Races (5/23)

The girls and I went to Whitney to watch Caleb's dirt bike races. I was a nervous wreck and it wasn't even my child racing!!! I don't know how they do it!

Caleb is the one in the middle... #619 (his birthday is June 19th).

Hanging out in the trailer eating some sno cones...


Julie and Kenzie

Caleb, Kole, Kenzie and Maddie

This is how we rode (minus Caleb) over to the area to watch Caleb...Matt drove us over there and was a very good driver. I was a little worried holding onto a little bar with one hand and a kid with the other!

The kids had a BLAST playing in the trailer! There are bedrooms on both ends and they ran back and forth through there having the best time!

We enjoyed eating hamburgers and hot dogs off the grill too!

It ended up raining for a little bit (10-15 minutes tops) after the races were over...long enough to get this big hill wet and slippery! You can barely see Maddie and Kenzie about 1/2 way up on the side. They really wanted to get muddy, but I didn't have any other clothes for them.

Matt and Kole

Kole, Kenzie, Matt and Maddie

We put one of Caleb's t-shirts on Maddie, but didn't have any other shorts for her so she wouldn't slide.

Caleb...those kids had so much fun sliding down that hill!

Uncle Wendall hosing off the kids...

It was a GREAT day! It was so good to see Julie and her family... they live in Corpus so we only see them a few times a year. We had a great time just visiting and catching up!
