Sweet Friends

A trip to Point Mallard with Penny and Harrison - what sweet friends they are in their matching suits!!

Football/Cheer Camp

Sam and Penny attended the DHS football/cheer camp again this year. They both were super excited about going and hanging out with the "real" football and cheerleader players (and their friends).

Sam is getting way to cool for Mom to hang out and snap a few pictures.. so I only got a few from very far away..(sitting in my air conditioned car- poor boys it was so HOT)

on the other hand I think Penny would let me take her picture all day long!!

On Thursday, at the end of camp the parents were invited back to watch the little girls show off their new cheerleader skills!!

Guess Who is 40?

Our Daddy .... Happy Birthday to YOU!! We surprised daddy with a new bicycle .

That afternoon we told our daddy to pick where he wanted to eat ...only he would pick

Hooters for his Birthday meal.. Oh well we went with it- Penny even told the waitress that it was her daddy's birthday and the girls sang to him and made him hula hoop in front of the store.

Happy Birthday- We Love YOU!!

Beach- 2011 **Warning LOTS of pictures***

We packed up and headed South for our annual beach trip to Destin,Fl. (Smith and Sam rode together and Patton, Penny, and Callie in the other car)The Coon family and cousin-Callie came for the fun! We did our traditional things-stopped for Dunkin' Donuts on the way, ate at Buster's the minute we arrived in Destin, Back Porch, Crap Trap, and Joe's. The kids all had a great time at the beach/pool. The first couple of days was very HOT but Saturday it rain ALL day long (this became our shopping at the outlet day). Sunday we headed to the beach but without seeing the sun -- the kids did not mind to play in the drizzle and I sure did not mind sitting in the chair taking lots of pictures.Patton and Callie helped Penny look for sea shells- she was one happy girl .



(yes after coming in for lunch Penny changed into another bathing suit)
(Callie won the prize for the BEST kid on the trip)

Patton snorkeled most of the day-

while the others had fun riding the waves!


Sunday we also wanted to take a few pictures of the cousins (minus Patrick and Jordan) with our Hope is Greater than Cancer shirts for Papa - to give him a little of encouragement before leaving for MD Anderson this coming weekend. We love our PAPA!!
