Cambry Wins a Pink Ipod Shuffle!!!

Before school was released, the teachers had the kids draw a picture about July 4th, America, and our soldiers. Then during July 4th week, there was a contest held at one of our local banks. Cambry's picture was chosen as 1st place!!!

She won a pink Ipod Shuffle!! WOW! :)

Baby Bed Set-up

We seemed to have forgotten how hard it is to put together a baby bed!!!! 7 years is a LONG time!! Grady had lots of great help & it turned out just perfect!

We took advantage of our short trip to Kansas City & the AWESOME stores it has to offer!! We purchased a few of the larger items to get us started. Once again ~ 7 years is LONG time!! Starting from scratch is fun for the kids, though! They are having a blast, but still are anxious to know the gender! We'll have to see about that one!!

Notice, there is no mattress. The Excursion was so full after our shopping spree, we had no room for one!! Next trip!!!! :)

Rhys's Tee Ball Season

Rhys played tee ball this year! He did very well! He really enjoyed playing first & second base. He's really excited about Machine Pitch next season!!

Cambry's Machine Pitch Season

Cambry had a great Machine Pitch Season! She played first base & short stop. This was her last year in Machine Pitch & next year she will move up to softball with Shelby. She is SOOOO excited!!!

Shelby's Softball Season

Over the past few years, Shelby has found a love for catching! (Scares Mom to death, but I just grin & bear it!) She was blessed with wonderful coaches, Lisa & Crystal, & had a great time with her team-mates! She will have the opportunity to play this sport thru school & she is already looking forward to it! She also had some beautiful hits this year! It makes us so proud to see such dedication & progress!!! Great season sweetie!! :)

Cambry's 9th Birthday!!

We had a swim party to celebrate Cambry's 9th birthday! She had tons of fun with her friends!! HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY PRINCESS!!!
