More Pictures. It's the best I can do for now!

Rangers Game, vacation, and hard working boys.  One more post of tons of pictures, and then I'm going to try to stay caught up.  Promise!  Sorry the pictures aren't great.  Most of them are phone pics.  It's just so much easier! 

On our way to a Ranger's Game.  This is only 3 of the 7 kiddos! 
The rest of them were in Kim's car.

At the game.  They all got free jerseys when they went in!

We all walked the 2 miles back to the hotel after the game, but MawMaw and Tara hitched a ride behind this bicycle.

We started our vacation here.  Looks fun huh!?!  Robert has been working out of town so we had to go pick him up before we could officially start our vacation.



After 4 hours in the car they had to run a little steam off.

The best I could do



After we left the well we headed to Alpine for the night.  I think Robert just wanted to eat at the Reata!



Tara got her first taste of calf fries and she loved them. Then we headed to Fredericksburg. We took the long way, down by Mexico. Let's just say it was a little creepy and we won't be doing that again!! After about the 15th Border Patrol vehicle I lost count and besides them, we only saw about 5 other cars in 3 hours! Just glad we didn't have a blowout or something!



We did finally make it there and the kiddos got to swim for a while in this really neat pool.

 

All snuggled up together.  Didn't last long!

After Fredericksburg we headed to Burnet to meet up with M and her family at the Longhorn Caverns.  Here are the kids before we went in.

Strolling through the caverns.  It felt soooo good down there!

When we got done there we headed to the Guadaloupe for a couple of days of relaxing in the river.  We were worried there wouldn't be any water but there was just enough to put our chairs in and soak.

Of course the boys had to do a little fishing.  Kase caught this little guy so his dad cooked it up for him.



I look HORRIBLE, but here is proof that I actually do exist!  Haha



Hanging out at the cabin

 

After we got home Robert took the boys back with him for a couple of days and put them to work.  I just love this picture!!!  My babies are growing up so fast.





We've Been Busy

Hi!  Remember us!?!

I know, I know.  It's been a while.....again!  But it's finally July and maybe I'll get more than 2 seconds to update now.  So here comes a ton of pictures and I'll try to keep them in order of how they happened. 



We had our 10 year high school reunion.  We met up at the Country Club early for a little swimming and golf.  


Please ignore my whiteness.  I don't get out much!!!  :)

 Then I took the kids to my parent's house.  Kase didn't want to stay so I took him back with me. 


The Girls

The whole group.  Well the ones that showed up anyway!

This little boy hit golf balls all. night. long.

We were in full Fandangle mode for over a month.


I told him to get dressed because we had Fandangle practice. 
This is how he came back to me.  In Tara's t-shirt and Koy's shorts!

Indians in cowboy hats!

Life backstage!

Relaxing

Koy somehow talked Robert into letting him wear the conductor hat in the parade.

Mean brother wouldn't share!

Square Dancing Partners - Sweet Leddie and Koy

Partners since the beginning!  Hannah and Kase

Exhausted!!!

We went to Robert's family reunion.  They had a little fishing competition for the kids.

"It was THIS BIG!!!"

One of Koy's many fish he caught.

All boy.  Yuck!

Hanging out on the boat watching them fish

The boys with their prizes.  Kase caught the first fish and Koy came in 2nd on most fish caught.

We also took some time out for a few birthday parties.

Tara went down by herself! 

Koy

I went down several times too and had a blast!!! 

Kase and a couple of his buddies dancing!  Too funny!

This girl likes cupcakes.......

I mean REALLY likes cupcakes!  Haha

PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO PRAY FOR HANNAH! We are still waiting for her to have a seizure so she can have her second surgery. They are all miserable and ready for this to be over.

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!!!
