PLEASE PRAY FOR HANNAH!!!

I know I've got lots of updating to do, but I wanted to take a few minutes to ask everyone to say a prayer for our cousin Hannah.  She is undergoing brain surgery right now.  This is the first of 2.  To see her story, you can go here.  Her mom is just getting it set up, so all her info may not be there yet.  We all love this little girl so much and she and her family can use all the prayers they can get.

Camping and Track Stars

We went on our first camping trip of the year.  We had a good time, but the river wasn't up, so we didn't get to hang out down there in the water all day like we usually do.  We were worried about the girls and how they would do, but they really did pretty good.  And we didn't see any snakes!  Usually that campsite is crawling with rattle snakes. 
 

"I'm not running off Mom"



Holton and Koy caught some frogs

  

Dirty girl! 

 

A little over 14 years and this will be for real.....scary!

  

The boys showing them what to do



Kase threw this net in that river ALL DAY LONG and then got up the next morning and did it again!



And this is what they did with the fish he caught!  Ha!



They went fishing and got back about 1 AM.  Fishing is okay, but not all night!



The boys also had their track meet this week, but I could only leave work for a few minutes so I just got to see this one race.  If you look behind them, you will see Kase's cap and the other boy's shoe on the track!  No pics of Koy at all  :(

 
I also have to say how proud I am of Kasey.  He not only passed his TAKS test, but was commened on both of them.  He only missed one question on his reading, and two on his math.  Way to go Kase!!!

Trying to get caught up

I am so behind (again) I'm just updating with tons on pictures of what's been going on lately.




Baseball.  That's what we've been up to!

  


Showing off his shiner

 


Tara likes to hang out by the bathroom with all the boys.

 


And playing in the dirt!





  


We had a great Easter, except for the tornados all around!

 

 


Much better!

  


We do take a few seconds to stop and scratch!

  


Sage's wedding and Robert actually dressed up!  It will be a long time before this happens again so I had to get a picture! Ha!

   


The boys have been working on their 2nd fort when they can

   


I had a good Mother's Day with my babies

  


Koy had to dress as a fairytale character for the school play, so I made him a Pinnichio costume.

  


Kase as one of the 3 Little Pigs

  


TK even wore her 3 Little Pigs outfit :)

  


More baseball - catching now.

  


Charity graduated nursing school!!!  And this is what happened on the way to her pinning ceremony...

  


But we made it, and now SHE'S A NURSE!  Love you girl!

  


Tara enjoyed the punch

  


And we had fun after :)

   

Another Random Photo Shoot

Or I guess you could call them Tara's 18 month pictures!  I have been eyeing this house for quite a while.  I knew I wanted to take pictures there, but I have been waiting for the right outfits.  When I saw this fabric I knew it was perfect.  So I threw this together on Saturday and we headed out for a quick photo shoot.  I can't believe how well it went and how well my kiddos acted!  Here area  few of my favorites.  They aren't great, and I think I'm losing my touch, but I thought some of them were pretty cute!



Another First

Little Miss Priss got her first haircut last weekend.  She was soooo good!

Before

I guess she was bored!

After

After the haircut a little trip to the mall for a couple of things and lunch at Chic-fil-a.



Life as I know it

Well, what life I had, is officially over until after Fandangle!  Baseball season has started and both boys decided they want to play this year.  Kase has practice or a game every day of the week except Wed. and the weekends.  Koy has games on Saturdays, and a few during the week too.  As soon as baseball is over, Fandangle will start.  I am going to be super busy, (like I'm not already!) but I love my boys, and if they want to play, I will let them play! 

Koy's first game.  He still needs LOTS of practice! :)

I think this is too funny.  They are not related at all, but I would swear they were!

Watching the game

Kase's first game isn't until later in the month, so no pics of him yet!

On top of baseball, let's add 4-H rifle practices and tournaments!  :)

I'm pretty proud of this boy!

Of course Tara kept the "men" entertained while Kase was shooting!
