Memorial Weekend 2010

Halle kicking the summer off with a big jump off the barge.... this is her 3rd summer to jump off.. 2nd without the life jacket. Makes my daddy nervous but Jeffrey is right in the water! :)

Kalee giving her daddy some sweet sugar.... :)

Halle and Breanna tubing.... Hanging on for dear life!

Carlee and Kalee going for a boat ride while the girls tubed.

Syd jumping off the barge for the 1st time EVER... Halle jumped several times yesterday and she never asked to jump off BUT today Kaleb jumped off and when Syd saw him jump she was right behind him!!

Syd jumping off yet again..... No telling how many times she jumped off!!!!

Let The Swimming Begin

The girls had so much fun swimming Sunday afternoon! They are all little fish. Next trip we are going to see if Syd remembers her swimming lessons from last year. ;) Looking forward to a great wonderful summer at the lake, pool, and a week in Florida! So far the oil has stayed clear of the beach we are heading too!! :)

Last Day 2nd Grade- Awards Assembly

Miss Priss on her last day of 2nd grade

Getting her awards from Mrs. Shelton

Posing in her classroom that was all ready for summer ... everything was wrapped up!!

Kennedy, Halle, and Maddi... They received mostly the same awards... Smart girls!!

Halle , Maddie, Kennedy

Halle, Maddie, Kennedy, and Payton .... As you can see they all like the camera! :)

Halle received 9 awards this year..... The Principal's Award for all A's all year, The Super Reader Award for passing over 50 book tests, The Spelling Award 100%, The Social Studies Award 100%, The Math Award 99%, Battle of the Books , Health Fitness Award, National Physical Fitness Award, and Excellence in Fitness Award!

We are so proud of her!! Not only is she smart but obviously she is athletic and physically fit! :) Her daddy told her if she would have made 1 more point in math she could have had this award all to herself.... she tied with her friends, Maddie, Maddi, and Kennedy! :)

She is excited for summer and looking forward to the 3rd grade!!

2nd Place Nashville Tourney

12:30 at night.... Tired girls after 6 games and starting the day at 9 that morning!!

They were proud of their 2nd place trophy... BUT Halle said 1st would have been better! :)

After a BIG win that put us in the finals!

Kennedy , Halle, and Maddie.... very HOT and TIRED!! I love that they all look the same... the way they feel!

Halle with her trophy and medal

Proud daddy watching Halle get her medal and trophy!!

Carlee and Kalee were exhausted after a LONG day of softball!! Syd went home earlier in the day with Jeremy to play with Landen and Kinleigh... They went swimming so she was far happier playing than with us!! Carlee and Kalee were troopers though... They were good all day!

Halle played her little heart out at the tourney!! All the coaches of the other teams were bragging on her saying she was a good little first baseman!! Of course we have always thought that but it makes you feel good hearing someone else brag on your kid!

She got a chance to reedem herself from the very first game where she struck out with a runner on third..... This time she hit the ball and scored the run to win the game!! Her daddy told her right before she hit.... "OK Halle it is like this... you hit the ball we win!" NO pressure there DAD!! LOL

She did play well in the field catching the ball at 1st getting the out then running home to get an out with the runner trying to score!! It's no wonder she knows the game so well.... That is all she and her daddy discuss these days!!

We were all soooo proud of the Sweet Sluggers.... This was our League team placing 2nd in this tourney and not our Tourney Team!! Just wish we could win a tourney... this now makes 2 2nd place finishes! We are playing in Dino Fest this weekend with our tourney team so hopefully we do well....

Mother's Day 2010

Thankful for all the mom's in my life.... So blessed to have a wonderful family!

Mother's Day 2010

Kalee, Halle, Sydney, and Carlee
On this Mother's Day I am so thankful for the 4 blessings in my life! I feel so privaledged to be the mother of 4 beautiful healthy little girls!

Chocolate Gravy Anyone?

Kalee enjoying her chocolate gravy!!

Carlee enjoying it too! Most Saturdays Nana makes us chocolate gravy. All the girls love it! Carlee and Kalee make quite the mess with it so I typically strip them down to eat it! It is much easier than trying to get chocolate out of their clothes. :)
