The River...

This was our vacation at New Braunfels.  My family loves to go camping and float the river.  We have raised my girls to love the out doors.  The is a picture of the river from our camp site. 

My three favorite people sitting with their feet in the water.

This is the kiddos in our group.

This is my baby floating down the river to where I was sitting.  This water is super dupper cold.  Not cool....COLD!  Can you tell?

This is our God Daughter.  When this water hits you in the face it takes your breath away it is so cold. 

This is my families favorite choice of vacations....floating the river!

This is how my girls roll....

Don't let this sweetness fool you.

This is how my girls want to spend their Thanksgiving afternoon.

Not sure what that look is on her face!

It's a family afair.

Cousins....

Hair or No Hair???

Before?

After?

This will probably be the only time you see him with hair......

Shhhh! I am in so much trouble for posting these pictures.....but what he don't know won't hurt him.....maybe!

Bella Boo....

This is Bella! She is HJ's baby.

Even hubby loves her. He won't admit it....but I have proof. Look at them snuggle. See her giving him kisses?
How could anyone not love that little face! She is a keeper. See her toe nail painted blue? HJ painted it but she would not be still for her to paint the others.

Family Time

We spent a great evening around our fire pit.

Hubby is stoking the fire so he can put on some pork chops.

And here they are....Yum!

BJ is enjoying the fire.

And Me....hanging out watching my hubby cook us some dinner.

Love this sun set over the pool and palm trees. It was an awesome evening and amazing weather!

The only things that would make it better was if HJ could have been there too! But we will have more evenings so she can enjoy it with us. She was at a band contest so wasn't able to hang out with us. Contest are over so we will make it up.

First Day of High School

I know it's been a while since I have posted. I am going to

try to post more often.

The is my baby's first day of high school.

She had to take a picture with "her" baby. The is Bella....she

is a sweetheart! This was her birthday present.
HJ is playing volleyball. She is playing an outside hitter.
Band is also comsuming a lot of her time as well.
I guess it is better to have them busy.

I promise I will post more pictures soon.

It's All About Football......

I went to see my nephew play football. This is his first year to play. We were really scared because he is really small for his age. We were scared he was going to get squished.

I was impressed......He caught the ball!!!! He was not letting go of that ball.

So he went for it. Take a look at that face. He meant business!!! And he did not get squished! Boy will Meme be happy!!!!!

They didn't win but CB did a great job. I can't wait to see him this weekend!!!!

First Day of School

This is my oldest daughter. Yesterday was the beginning of major change......My baby begin her first day of her Senior Year of High school. I didn't show it in front of her or let her know "I Cried". Most parents are happy, it's the beginning of the end. But for me, it is only the beginning of a hugh change that I am in no way ready for. I keep prayin' God please prepare me, I have raised her to the best of my ability. This child has brought me so much joy in my life. I admire and respect her so much.

Peace, Love & Seniors.....don't you just love how creative they are?

Of course, her first day of school she had to let all the under classmen know who the Seniors are.....

My challege to her is this......find out what her Blue Flame is.....
Pick three talents and three passion......where they intersect........You have Your Blue Flame!

My youngest baby girl.....her first day of 8th grade. She is my passionate one......she is always worried about everyone else. She is the happiest young lady. She is truly my miracle from God. He has great things in store for her. I can't wait to see what God does with her. She will be my rock in the months to come. I look up to her so much and glad she has the best character and is a women of God.
