Fun with Family...

 I have tried and failed to post our camping pictures.  These are some that didn't delete themselves, so this is all that I'm posting for now of our camping trip.  It was a fun-filled weekend with the whole family.  There were 8 adults and 11 kids...oldest one being 6 years old. :)  

To see more pictures, you can visit my sister's blog here!

 Megan and Cera with their bug boxes that Grandma supplied them with.

 Megan told me she "caught a bug"....it was a rock. :)

After we left the camping place, we went to Wesley and Misty's house and grilled hamburgers and had a water balloon fight. :)

Run, Uncle Wesley, here comes Owen!!!

Someone at church blessed us with one-day passes to one of our favorite places!  Misty and her girls went with us and Grandma and Papa came to spend the day with us.  We also met up with my cousin Lizzy and her darling family.  Here's the only shot I got of the whole gang.

Jeren really liked the butterflies - this was his very first ride....unless you count

when I took Megan on it last year when I was 81/2 months pregnant with him. :)

I'm not sure if Owen was trying to make his go faster, or what exactly his story was.

All the girls and the "Frogs".

Jere was not so thrilled with the Frogs.  I laughed so hard.  

Poor little fella'

Of course, they loved the roller coaster...I think they all have neck and back "issues" now.

We had a marvelous day!!!

Slip-N-Slide...

Kristyn's Awards Banquet....

This has been a few weeks back, but since none of our family was able to be here, I thought I'd post pictures for you. :)

I don't think Kristyn stopped smiling all night. 

She got a "reward" as she calls it, or being "Miss Friendly" and for saying all of her Bible verses for the year.  They had a different passage each month that they learned.

She tied for first place in the highest grade point average and got second with most work completed!

This is first, second and third place for the GPA completion in the "little kids".

We are so proud of our baby girl!

Our Garden....

Keith's uncle has been so nice and let us plant a garden on his farm.  We have thoroughly enjoyed it!  It's a LOT of work, but we really do enjoy it.

Here's the onions - I know they need to be weeded. :)

And the 2 1/2 rows of green beans.  Keith said each row is 75 feet long....I'm thinking we're going to have a L*O*T of green beans. :)

And some of our tomatoes.

Our potato row.

Not pictured is squash - 3 different kinds, sweet potatoes, lettuce, spinach, cucumbers and peppers.

So in a couple of months when it's canning time.....that would be a GREAT time to come visit. :)

Graduation Time...

It's so hard to believe that our little baby is graduating from Kindergarten.  Where does the time go?

Saying their scripture and poems

I guess she thought she needed to provide entertainment during the sermon.

Could it possibly get any more exciting?

Receiving her diploma from her principal - aka Daddy

Receiving her Bible from the school board

Her teacher Mrs. Stanberry

Karissa graduated from Kindergarten this year, too, so my mom brought her cap and gown so they could get a picture together.

Our little shrimp is actually six weeks older than long-legs Karissa, but you sure wouldn't know that by looking at them. :)

Opening her gifts

Enjoying Baby Trent

Now only one more event this weekend (Awards Banquet) and we'll be off enjoying summer!!!

Pictures of Cuties...

I was thrilled to be able to take pictures of my adorable nieces and one and only nephew!

Tori - she's just full of life and a sweetie pie.

This is Cera.  She is a quiet, happy little lady.  She decided a while back to give herself a new hairstyle right up front, so her mommy had to "fix" it. :)

She is a sweetheart!

Aren't they precious?

This little man is my very first nephew.  I'm so proud of him.  I could load pictures all day of him. :)

Trent

You crack me up!

Such sweet little faces!
