RIVER RATS!

Peyton and Cade had their first Father-Son Canoe Trip with some of the other guys from church on Saturday. They had a blast! Cade told me he is running behind the rock in this picture, so you can't see him, but he's on the tree waiting for the rope swing in the next shot! Reid and I had a fun day too...bowling, putt-putt, and go-carts!

Golf & Go-Carts!

So, the boys now each have their own set of clubs. I'm not sure who loves golf more, Cade or Reid. Both beg to go to the driving range on a daily and every other day, they beg to play "real golf." I don't think I have a future Tiger on my hands, but they can hit it pretty straight and they LOVE the game! There is a driving range near our house that is next to a miniture golf cours, batting cages and go-carts. This summer was the first time Cade was brave enough to drive by himself. He was so proud...the second time he ever rode, he told me that the cars were too slow and he has a need for speed! School starts in a few weeks! YEA ME!

4th of July, Texas Style

We took our annual trip to Texas to celebrate the 4th of July. We always go to PawPaw & Nonna's (Peyton's Dad & Step-Mom) house for the 4th. This was the first year without our sweet Nonna, but we shared fun memories of her. We had several days full of BBQ, Golf, swimming, Golf, beer, Golf, fireworks, an air show, and did I say Golf? It is always tons of fun. There is a parade through the country club to kick off the celebration. The boys and I rented a jet ski while the big boys played golf one day, Reid fell asleep on the jet ski...I think he's the only one in history to ever do that. He was snuggled in between me and Cade and just fell asleep! Pictured in the group photo on location in PawPaw's backyard oasis, is Peyton's step-brother Hank, his wife Kim and their little one's Knox (1) and Kenna (2 wks)....yep it can happen! Peyton, Jenny, Cade (7) and Reid (4 1/2). Peyton's Dad, his Sister Whitney, her husband Britt and their little one's Ford (2) and Baby Girl due in November! We just keep on growing.

Cade's 7th Birthday

I can't believe my little guy is 7! CRAZY! He is so big too! He wanted a swim party, so we had it at the new YMCA water park pool. He had a blast with all his buddies. The party was over, but we were staying to swim for a while. Cade was getting out of the water and slipped and busted his chin open. So we spent the afternoon at the ER getting 4 stitches! He was so brave and did great! He got to go camping that night with his buddy Karis and the dad's. The next morning Reid and I surprised him with a new bike...turning 7 was a pretty good time for Cade!

SPRING 2008

This is my attempt at professional photography....I'm trying...the boys were great at letting me take their pictures. I want to take a class and get better and better! we'll see if that ever happens!

Bad to the Bone!

So, it's been a bit, sorry, what's the rule on how often you are suppose to update your blog? I'm quite certain it's 'more than once every 6 weeks! Anyway, this spring/summer has been busy. Swim Lessons, Camps, birthday parties, etc. For Father's Day, the boys put do-rags and sunglasses on, like their Daddy sports on occasion, and let me take some pictures...Bad to the Bone we called them! They had a blast being so cool...as they said!

Jersey Boys Wanna Bees!

On the way home from Reid's soccer game, we listened to the Cast Recording of The Jersey Boys. Cade and Reid LOVE the music. So, here is a video they did for Uncle Jake!
