Last big Hurrah!

Last weekend, June 14th, we took our last big camping trip before the baby gets here. Thankfully "it" decided to stay put. My doctor suggested if, for some reason, my water would have broken that I should go to Denton hospital due to how fast my labors are. She didn't think we would make it to Centennial since it was an hour and a half drive. That really freaked me out but we went anyways. I'm sure glad we did because we had a great trip. Mimi and Papa and the Lewis family (including new baby Tucker, 2 wks old) went to Lake Texoma and stayed at Thousand Trails. On Saturday we took the kids for a long boat ride then met up with Joe & Stef to play on a beach.

This is Cayman and Tanner looking at the pond that Trent & Em's fifth wheel was parked right next to.


The little ones, Tate & Nate, decided to join in the fun of looking at the swimming ducks.


Here's the kids riding the boat as we drive to the boat launch

Memorial Day 09 we decided to have all our friends over for just a fun get together. Corey spent all night cooking brisket, ribs and sausage on his new smoker. It was truly the best brisket I've ever tasted...I sure hope he can duplicate that! All Cayman and Nate's friends had a wonderful time. We heated the pool because it still wasn't quite warm enough.
I wish I had of thought to take more pics. I guess I was having so much fun that I forgot, I'm usually the picture queen.

Cayman's first dance recital

Cayman and I started a Mommy and Me class last fall at Cindy's School of Dance. She has had sooo much fun with it. She's learned dance, ballet, hand-eye coordination, group work, and tumbling. I woul definitely recommend this class for all 2 yr old girls. Since April, the mom's have slowly worked out of the room in order for the precious little girls to perform their first recital. It was incredibly enjoyable. There weren't many actual dance moves but they attempted and no one freaked out so it was a hit. I just loved their pink tutu's.

Keira, on the left, is one of Cayman's friends that also goes to school with her. They were admiring eachothers outfits.

This is Cayman's first Dance certificate. She is the shortest one almost right in the middle. So stinkin'cute!!!!



The pictures didn't turn out so well because it was totally dark in there but she is the middle girl. They are performing Lemon Drops-N-Gum Drops

After the recital we wanted to treat Cayman to something even more fun for her accomplishment so we took her to Gatti Town. Of course, we had to start off with the train ride and momma and her "big, fat belly" (as cayman refers to it as now) was not even attempting getting in that thing! Daddy and Papa gladly jumped in. Cozy huh?

Already ready to DRIVE!

We must have played with these balls for 45 min. Cheap fun except for daddy's need to play over and over and over. :)

All kids love the carousel but I think they were severely dissappointed since we go to Stonebriar all the time. Absolutely no comparison!

Oh, and there I am at 8 months pregnant.

Nate is plastering his face to the glass to get as close to the trucks as possible.

What a great day. Great job Cayman, Mommy & Daddy are so proud of you.

Playing in the backyard in May

A day in the life of us...

Bakin a cake....isn't this always the best part?


My sweet little dress up queen. You can see the millions of bracelets she is also sporting.

Cruisin with one of her boyfriends...Jackson

Nate prefers to let the ladies drive. Sweet Georgia

Tanner and Tatelyn came over and we had ourselves a little concert.

Easter Party

Today was Nate's first Easter Egg Hunt and Cayman's second. They both had such a wonderful time. First they got to eat yummy snacks and read an Easter story then they got to do their egg hunt. Unfortunately it was a little rainy and cloudy so they had to do it in the gymnasium. As you can see, I don't think either of them cared though. I was so busy videotaping Nate's hunt that I totally forgot to take some still shots though.

She has really mastered the whole "cheese" thing!

These are bunnies that Grampa Mert and Grama Dar got them for Easter. They are so cute cuz they sing "Jesus Love Me".
