Sweet Summertime!!!

Here we are 2 weeks into summer!!! We have enjoyed every second of it!! Carson and the girls have already finished 2 weeks of swimming lessons with Ms. Stacey! The boys are looking forward to basketball camp at UTA all next week, and the girls will do cooking camp at the church. The first couple of pictures represent my extra shopping habit that comes on as soon as I have an extra few minutes! The girls are right along with me....scary....I've already had to make myself stay away from the mall!!
 They NEVER groan when we go into The Gap like the boys have always done!!

 We have visited Caden's orthodontist! At least there is a cool kids only waiting room!

Sam and I went to "The Brothers of the Sun" tour at Cowboys Stadium on June 9. We saw my favorite...Kenny Chesney, and also Tim McGraw, Jake Owens, and Grace Potter! We had tons of fun!!


 We sat in the cheap seats, but it was still amazing!!

 While we were at the concert Grancie took my gang to Texarkana to see our MoJo, and look what I scored from her garden!!

 Sophie and Emma snuggled on a Sunday night drive!

 Carter and Abby came to play last week!!


We TRIED to rescue an injured black bird we found in our front yard, but that really didn't work out!

 We had sooooo much fun at The Dallas Zoo's Zoobilee!!

 We went to a Ranger's game!!



 We got our faces and arms painted at The Dallas Zoo's Zoobilee!

Field Day(s) 2012

Our school's field days were the 2nd week in May. Each day of the week 2 grade levels participate in their field day, so the event lasts all week long. We started out on Monday with the schoolwide field day parade and Kindergarten's events. I loved that we all had the same color shirts this year!! This year Sam took the day off to watch Carson's events, and Sam and I both took off to watch the girls' events. I was glad that one of us got to be there each day, but the bad news is that Sam forgot the camera for Carson's events, and his phone takes terrible pictures. Soooo....I have no pics of Carson except the few I took before the parade. :(

The field day concession stand is opened all week, so the girls got to buy snacks at their recess, and I visited with them since this particular day was during my 4th graders events! Ella got a sno-cone and hot dog!
Emma got nachos and a sno-cone

Yummy!! :)
Here are Mrs. Chumchal, Mrs. Williford, and I with the 4th graders during 4th grade field day!
