Killer

This year we decided to take the plunge! We put Luke into tackle football! He was so super excited. We were a bit hesitant, but we love to make sure our kids dabble in everything their little hearts desire. At first, he had a grand 'ol time. Then.... he decided he didn't like practice so much! Eventually he pulled through and got over that hump! His coaches decided to give him a little nick name. They named him "Killer." Later on they were able to explain where that came from. They said they choose one kid on the team every year who has the most heart. Luke is the smallest kid on his team, but he packs the biggest punch!  In their first playoff game, the team they played was undefeated.  They kicked some major booty and beat them!  He had so much fun!

Clear Creek

Scottie's school has a fun field trip they get to take in fifth grade that all the kids look forward to.  I was a bit nervous seeing as this was his first overnight camping trip without me or his dad!  He had a blast and will have memories to last him forever.  I remember my overnight camping trip in fifth grade.  It was seriously a blast.  I can vividly see, in my minds eye, what I was wearing the day we left.  Funny how I have such a horrible memory, but some things seem to stick out so strongly!

 I was lucky to get these two photographs.  As you can see, he wasn't very happy or patient with the process!!

Crazy Hair Day!!

Crazy hair day was a crazy day indeed!  We only got pictures of Savana's hair for some reason.  I'm glad we were able to pull it off....it was a big hit!

Ripples In the Water

Savana, do you see that? Do you see the ripples you cause to flow ever so gently in the water around you? They begin with you and continue to touch many surfaces beyond you. This is how important you are. You have an affect on everything and everyone you come across.
 Your intelligence, so inspiring......
Your beauty, so refreshing.....
Your smile, so contagious.......
Your spirit, so enlightening......

Brooklyn & Brilee

I wish we lived a little closer so Brooklyn & Brilee could play more often.  It's so much fun to watch them together.  They're usually side by side getting in trouble together. 

Sassy at Six Months!

Let's see....You've lived a full life at just six months already! You've traveled a few places and progressed so much!
What you're doing now:
You're eating baby food! Like banana's mixed with rice cereal!
Your eyes are opening to this beautiful world around you....you've just discovered your reflection in the mirror!
You've taught yourself how to do the 'army crawl.' There isn't a place on the main floor of the house you haven't discovered!
You've stolen Mommy's heart by making your first word be "mama!"
You've learned one of the major things our family is about...getting the older kids to their sports & activities!

Jumping for Joy!

I have loved watching my two youngest enjoy this little toy. They've had a lot of fun jumping and we've been quite entertained.
