No more nerves!


The first day jitters are gone now and Haley is just excited every morning to go back to school. She lays her clothes out every night so she is ready when it's time to leave in the morning. She loves Junie B. Jones books (we've read almost every one at the school library!) and is excited to learn to read and write better. Art and recess are her fav things about school. This girl has her own sense of style and lets me do cute things to her hair lately.

First day of 1st Grade!



Haley was a teensy bit nervous for the first day but was a champion! Mrs. Broussard is her teacher this year and so far Haley likes her.

Making memories






Success & Determination = Haley slaloming!




Haley was so determined to get up on one ski and after falling and falling she did it! She didn't get discouraged or frustrated and never ran out of energy. After trying again and again this beaming smile tells how sweet it feels to reach a goal! Thanks daddy for being a great teacher!

Lake Ouachita 2011


This pic is priceless! The kids really wanted a tube ride but we had a prop problem and so they loaded on the jet ski to go out. Only to come back in just as quick as they had gone out because they were nervous about a storm coming!








Cash started holding his hand out and when we asked him why he didn't know. But it makes a great pic!






Everybody skied, tubed, knee boarded and had a great time at our favorite Lake!

Oh dear!


These 3 little buddies were so excited to see the fire truck parked right in front of our house. Our neighbors had called for an ambulance because Mr. Bill needed to go for a ride. The kids found the only shade around and sat down for their own viewing entertainment while eating their oreo ice cream.

Happy faces!








We laughed and cried and had a great time doing it all! Hugs and loves til next time!
