Slip N Slide Fun

Aunt Jamie & Uncle Bill have a great hill for a slip n slide. I had a shower at Church, so Dusty took the kids to play. Uncle Bill fixes it up & off they go! Even the grown men take a turn. Maybe next year, I will be able to slide down the hill!

Fundraiser

We held a fundraiser for our Race for the Cure team, Christy's Angels, in July. I had been wanting to have something for a while, so I started planning & it took off. It was a WONDERFUL night - at a beautiful location (Pavilion at Hunter Valley Farm), great food, great entertainment & lots of family & friends!! We were so blessed that family came in from Texas (Mom's brothers, Uncle Mark & Uncle Bobby, Aunt Kay & our cousins David & Katrina, Erica & Keri) & Florida (Mom's cousin, Jeff & Libby, Carrie & Andrew) to be with us.

We raised lots of money for a great cause & are hoping to make this an annual event!!

Happy Birthday Aunt Jamie

Reunion Weekend

We headed up to Hungry Mother State Park in Virginia for the annual family reunion for Dusty's dad's side of the family. The kids had more fun this year than we have in the past. We don't know much of the family, but the park is beautiful with lots of fun things to do. This year, we took the kids out on paddle boats. Kenleigh got to ride with Papaw & Dusty, Colton & I went out on another.

On the way to Dusty's grandparent's house, we stopped at the state Fish Hatchery. The kids loved feeding all the fish - from little bitty ones to huge ones! Kenleigh was funny - she had to put food in each of the 40 tanks so each fish got some!

Soccer!

Kenleigh is playing Upward Soccer this year. She was so excited to go get some pink soccer gear!!





Practice has been interesting - we'll see how the games go!

Balloons for Grandma

I'm sure I've posted about this before, but everytime we get a helium filled balloon, the kids (especially Colton) like to release them, saying they are going up to Grandma. We got balloons from Alex's party & Colton took his upstairs. He came down a few minutes later with this:

It brings tears to my eyes!!

Fun in Pigeon Forge

Dusty & I took the kids for a quick trip to Pigeon Forge. Our first stop was Old MacDonald's Mini Golf.





Then we hit the outlets, grabbed lunch and played games at an arcade. The kids were exhausted when we left - they both fell asleep on the way home!
