VBS and Our 2nd Trip to KK's this Summer :)

We had a great VBS this year. Our theme was based on New York. The girls are still listening to the music.

Emma Klaire is practing before her program.

Ella Kate and Elizabeth Grace before the program.

We went back to Texas in July for a few days after VBS. We had a great time as always. Below are some pictures:

Today was a normal school day....still HOT!  Nana is here to visit so.....

until next time..............I hope you find much JOY!!

I AM BACK!!!

Our computer quit on us, so I had to borrow one until we could get one. So we now have a new computer, and I can't wait to catch up. We were able to back-up everything on the old computer thank goodness, but it may take me a bit to get my pictures situated. I still have a few summer things I want to blog about. In the last few weeks both girls have started dance,  Ella Kate has started school and gotten braces, and Emma Klaire has had a birthday!!!!

The last few weeks have been busy with school, dance ,etc. So for now I am going to post a couple pictures from my phone, and then hopefully this week I can back up and do some much needed blogging.

Ella Kate had just gotten braces! She was such a trooper! She had a tough first week, but has made it great since.

Emma Klaire's first night at ballet/gymnastics with Mrs. Rita! She loved it!

So until next time............(which I hope will be soon) I hope you find much JOY!!!!!

Back to School!

We enjoyed a relaxing last weekend before our schedule got back into swing. Ella Kate had two swimming parties last Saturday, but otherwise we just swam and played. Sunday I floated and napped around the pool...so fun!!! I started school Tuesday. Emma Klaire did also. Ella Kate stayed with Pepaw and Memaw all week. Thursday Ella Kate went and met her teacher....Mrs. Luther. Then they picked up Emma Klaire and went to McDonalds.  I got to meet my students Thursday night and had my first day with kids Friday. Ella Kate stayed with Norman at work until lunch Friday. Then Norman and Ella Kate went to Tupelo and ate lunch played in the arcade again and watched the new Smurf movie. They had a ball!

Today we are getting ready for Ella Kate to start school Monday, getting geared up for HOMEWORK, and getting "stuff" done. We are going to swim for a bit also I am sure. The heat right now (and for this whole week) has been /is almost unbearable. The humidity is suffocating.

Last night I went out to eat with some long lost friends.....Dawn, Karen, Jennifer, and Shonda. Dawn's daddy used to be our minister of music where I went to church when I was small. I haven't seen her in years. She got this little outing organized, and it was great to see her!

Back to the first of July....one day I will be caught up!

One day while William and KK were around, we all met at Gran-Gran's house for lunch. Sweet memories were made!

Planking???

Four generations!

JC left right after this visit. William left the next day. Kk and Kadence were able to stay until that Saturday. We hung out everyday. One night the girls and I got to keep Kadnece for a little bit while KK visited with Allison. We got to give Kadence a bottle. That was lots of fun!

Going Swimming :)

We went with Nana to take Kadence and KK to the airport that Saturday. As I mentioned in an earlier post, this is the day that my girls learned that airports can be a sad place also. Goodbyes are always hard!

    

Kadence's first airplane ride. She did great!

When we got back from the airport, Matt, Mae Mae, and the boys were here. So we had a great time swimming, eating, and enjoying time with them.

Elijah learning to jump!

 So until next time..............I hope you find much JOY!!!
