Holly Lake

This year for our family vacation we went with some good friends to their grandparent's lake house in East Texas. We went out there on a Friday night and came back Sunday afternoon. We had a great weekend of lake fun, fishing, cooking out and hanging with friends! Peyton rode in the tube for the first time ever while Brayden wouldn't even jump off the boat into the water. We got to see tons of deer out there and when we came home we had our first experience of removing a tick from Brayden's behind. Not exactly the place you would like to find one! We had so much fun that I think we might just have to make this a yearly event :-)

* Warning - Tons of pictures to see.*

These signs should have stopped us from night fishing on this dock but no...!

Karri and Morgan.

I was a nervous wreck while we were on the dock, Peyton sat in my lap for most of the time because I didn't want her to trip and go flying in the water.

I was the only one who woke up in a good mood :-)

Fourth of July 2009

On the fourth of July we went to our friends the List's home to shoot off our own fireworks. They live in the country on land so we went over there and cooked hot dogs and had a bonfire with s'mores yummy! We had fun watching the kids with their sparklers and snap pops. Brent and David lit the bigger stuff like the fountains and race cars.

Forney Fireworks

On Friday the weekend of the Fourth of July we went with some friends and their kids to eat at Chick Fil-A and watched fireworks at the community park in Forney. They had a live band and consessions. It was a great atmosphere and we all had a great time and enjoy hanging out with the List Family!

I collected toilet paper rolls to make firecracker's out of them for the kids class this year.

Father's Day

This year for father's day we decided to make a gift for the grandpa's. For Popa Demers I had the kids paint picture frames and then we put pictures of them in their for him to take to his office. For PawPaw Billingsly the kids painted signs for his garden. They had fun making a mess but I think both grandpa's loved their gifts. For Brent he got a music/recording from the kids that sd I love you Daddy! We picked him out a new pair of sunglasses and a belt that he needed.

Painting the frames.

We used their school pictures.

I used a stencil and they painted over it.
