SUMMER FUN JUNE & JULY 2008

CAPTURING KIDS HEARTS - CHRISPY WENT TO THE TRAINING THAT HIS "TEEN LEADERSHIP" CLASS WILL BE BASED ON. HE TRAVELED WITH MIKE LEE, STACEY EDWARDS, AMY MCFADDEN, D'LEE REAGH. HE CAME BACK PUMPED UP. GETTING THIS JOB WAS A GOD THING! THANK YOU LORD!
THE GIRLS D'LEE & AMY PLAYED CARDS WITH CHRISPY.
CHRISPY GOT A CHANCE TO PLAY PING PONG. HE REALLY CAME BACK PUMPED UP!
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW CHRISPY WILL INSPIRE THE SPRING HILL KIDS. HE'S INSPIRED ME BY SEEKING OUT HIS DREAMS. CLOSED UP IN AN OFFICE WITH NO WINDOWS IN 2005 HE HAD A DREAM TO DO SOMETHING ELSE. GO TO SCHOOL, GET A DEGREE TO BE A TEACHER. THIS MAY HE REACHED HIS GOAL.

WAY TO GO CHRISPY! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!

THE BIG BIRTHDAY! AMY- 39, AUBREY - 8, & LOLO - 6

RICKY AND HIS BOY COOPER ARE TAKING A NAP. COOPER IS GROWING UP SOO MUCH. HE'S 7 MONTHS OLD NOW!

CALEB IS ACTING CRAZY SITTING IN COOPY'S CHAIR. LOLO IS WEARING HER 9TH OF JULY DRESS (HER BIRTHDAY & ARGENTINA'S INDEPENDENCE DAY FYI)
THE PARTY WAS AWESOME! AMY RENTED THE CLUB HOUSE AT HER APARTMENT AND WE HAD A HAWAIAN PARTY.
GRANDADDY AND CALEB WERE READY TO LIMBO.
HERE ARE THE BIRTHDAY GIRLS. FELIZ CUMPLEANOS!
I LOVE THIS PICTURE! YOU CAN SEE ALL FOUR KIDS IN THIS PICTURE.
HERE'S G-MOMMY WITH THE BOYS. SHE'S BEEN OUT OF THE HOSPITAL FOR 2 DAYS AFTER HER HISTERECTAMY (WHO KNOWS HOW TO SPELL THAT?!) & BLADDER TACK. I DON'T HAVE ANY PICTURES OF HER IN THE HOSPITAL BUT A DO HAVE A FUNNY STORY ABOUT A "IT'S A BOY" SIGN THAT WOUND UP ON HER HOSPITAL DOOR.
THESE WOMEN ARE VISITING AND ADORING BLAZE NORTON. HE IS SO LITTLE AND PRECIOUS.

AFTER DINNER WE WENT SWIMMING. IT WAS AWESOME! LOOK BEHIND US AND YOU CAN SEE ADAM ABOUT TO THROW JACKSON IN THE AIR WITH CHRISPY. HE SPLATED A COUPLE OF TIMES.
COOPY AND CALEB BOTH ENJOYED THE POOL.
LOLO GOT A CAN OF CORN FROM HER AUNTS. IT WAS ON HER GIFT LIST AND WELL WHAT SHE WANTS SHE GETS. FUNNY HUH?
EAST TEXAS BALOON RACE

THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS OF THE WHOLE SUMMER!

LARRY AND DEBBIE CAME UP TO LONGVIEW AND WE WENT TO THE AIRPORT WHERE THEY HAD OVER 50 HOT AIR BALOONS. THERE WAS A BAND PLAYING, PARACHUTERS, FOOD SHOPS AND LOTS OF JUNK SHOPS.

WHAT WE SAVED ON DRINKS WE SPENT ON THE AWESOME FOOD. CORN DOGS, CORN ON THE COB, CHICKEN ON A STICK AND SNOW CONES. WHAT CAN I SAY WE LOOOOOVVVVEEEE TO EAT! AMY CAME WITH US AND WE MET UP WITH THE SILVERTHORNS, CORY PHILLIPS AND THE RICKY PRUITT'S.

CALEB HAD A GOOD TIME WITH HIS GRANDADDY LARRY.
GRANDMOMMY DEBBIE HAS THE MAGIC TOUCH AND PUT THE BOY DOWN FOR A LITTLE NAP.
THE BALOONS WERE BEAUTIFUL... I GUESS YOU'LL HAVE TO TRUST ME SINCE YOU CAN'T SEE THEM.
BATHTIME IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTIVITIES WITH CALEB. I KNOW HIS IS 13 MONTHS OLD, BUT THIS MONTH WAS THE FIRST TIME I LET HIM LOOSE IN OUR BATHTUB, HE'S BEEN IN A BABY BATH ALL THE OTHER TIMES (-: IT'S JUST EASIER.
A TRIP TO VISIT GRANDMA STELLA & G-MA MARILYN AND G-PA LARRY.

THIS LAST WEEK WE DROP EVERYTHING AND WENT TO GLEN ROSE TO SEE THE PEURIFOY'S.
AS YOU CAN SEE HERE GRANDMA STELLA LOOKS GREAT. WE ENJOYED OUR VISITS WITH HER.


SHE HAD BOUGHT A WOOPIE CUSHION AND WE TRIED IT OUT ON CALEB SEVERAL TIMES. IT WAS FUNNY!
LARRY AND MARILYN TOOK US TO THE RIVER AND HE OF COURSE LOVED THE WATER.
THE GUYS SAT ON A WATER FALL AND CALEB ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. THE WATER WAS A WARM AS BATH WATER, I WOULD LOVE TO GO TO BROKEN BOW, OK. AND SWIM IN THAT LITTLE RIVER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DAMM.
YAY! ROCKS!
HERE'S THE PEURIFOY CLAN. I HAVE A PICTURE SIMILAR TO THIS THAT WAS TAKEN 5 YEARS AGO AT BROKEN BOW, OK. WE'VE ADDED A BOY SINCE THEN.

IN GLEN ROSE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE FOUND DINOSAUR TRACKS. SO WE WENT TO VISIT THE EXPO WHERE THEY HAVE OVER 100 LIFE SIZE DINOS.

CHECK US OUT RUNNING FROM THIS GUY.

THIS IS A FUN PICTURE. LOOK AT CALEB'S FACE!
THIS IS OVERLOOKING THE WILD LIFE RESERVATION WERE THEY HAVE ALL KINDS OF ANIMALS RIGHT THERE IN GLEN ROSE. FOSSIL RIM IS THE NAME OF IS. ONE DAY WHEN CALEB IS OLD ENOUGH WE'LL ACTUALLY DRIVE THROUGH IT.
CALEB LOVED HIS GRANDADDY LARRY.

THAT WAS A LOT OF PICTURES AND I LEFT OUT A FEW SLEEPOVERS I'VE HAD WITH AUBREY & LOLO, CORE CAMP, & LOCKER ROOM STUFF.

I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE HAVING AS GOOD A SUMMER AS WE ARE. DROP ME A LINE AND LET ME KNOW HOW EVERYONE IS.

THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY STUFF.



I THINK THIS IS SO CUTE AND THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT SUMMER. CALEB GETS TO READ AND SING WITH HIS DAD.
