Summer 2011 in Pictures

Our summer flew by!  Here are just a few highlights!  Miss Kennedy is DRIVING the gator! 
Brave Papa is letting Madi and Brittany ride the 4 wheeler all by themselves!

Mr. Lincoln LOVED playing with this watermelon!  He rolled and rolled it around like a ball, a heavy ball at that!  Linc looks more and more like his daddy! 
I took the kids with friends to the Drive In to see Cars 2.   

The 4th of July started with our church's bike parade thru town. 
After lunch we headed to a pool party at Bud and Kara's.  If you notice Clay missing from the water pics it is because we had quite a scare with Clay on July 1st.  Clay had fallen a few days before that and skinned up the palm of his right hand, no biggie, not much blood.  By Friday the sore had swollen up and by the time I got him to the dr. he had red streaks going up his arm!  The sore had turned into a staph infection-2 high powered meds later he was on the mend but with restrictions-no swimming on the 4th of July being 1 of them :( !!! 
Britt and Connor  
Mr. Landry was our fireworks specialist that day.  He not only purchased the fireworks but he lit them for all of us. 

I did let Clay do sparklers!  The boy had to have some fun on the 4th! 

This summer was full of softball and baseball.  Most of the time Chad and I had to divide and conquer.  He went with Clay and I went with Brittany.
One tournament was on Coach Adam's birthday 

Miss Morgan turned 9, complete with hot, hot temperatures and an iCarly cake. 


Clay's team pulled out a victory in the Town & Country Regional tournament to advance to Semi State! 



Brittany's team made it to Town & Country State!  Go girls!
Mr. Sparling, a retired teacher, came to watch Brittany and Baily!  So nice! 
The girls didn't win state but we had 1 more tournament to play.  The girls came in 2nd and took home some hardware! 
This group of girls (and parents) were so much fun.  Everyone got along and it made the summer much more enjoyable! 

We got to have Madi for a weekend!  She came to Britt's softball tournament.  She hung out in the dugout, got her hair braided like the other girls, and made some new friends! 


Of course, summer has to include Papa's fish fry and the Med Evac helicopter!


Summer was extremely HOT and busy, but we had a blast!
