Everly is 6!

I can't believe it.  Our baby girl is SIX!

Everly requested a Chuck E. Cheese party.  Mommy loves it.  Super easy!

(She loved that Ryder was in town for her birthday!)

Lots of fun friends helping her celebrate!

Ryder got to go in the ticket blaster with her.

So many presents!

We gave her some curlformers.  Hilarious!

And, they work great!

Nanna and Bubba came to town to take her to dinner!  Yummy cake from Olive Garden.

And, Mommy and Daddy promised her that she could get her ears pierced once she was six.

The big girl was so brave!  Very few tears and she loves her new accessories!

Everly, you are alway our biggest helper.... I love to see your servants heart at work.  You are full of laughter and joy.  You love to dance and being on stage. You love playing games, swimming and you always give the sweetest snuggles.

We love you so much our sweet Everly Ray!

Golf Camp for Two

Walker has continued playing golf all year.  It's been a great experience and he continues to improve.  One of the last classes before a little break, they all played several holes.  He did well!

When it was time for a little three-day camp, we talked Little Sister into it!

How cute is she!  Such a little natural!

The first day of the camp was the day before her birthday.  So, she decided she wanted some new clubs.  Thanks to Bunny and RayRay, she got some!

She love the purple and pink.

Yay Everly!  She will start the weekly class when the break is over! We are excited to have another golfer in the house.

Father's Day

We had a fabulous Father's Day!  The kids started the day by telling Clark that he has a fishing trip coming up:

Walker and Everly were super excited to surprise Daddy with a trip with his two best buds.  Too bad he has to wait for the trip!

Then, RayRay and Bunny got to spend the day with all their grandkids!

We had a great day.  Eating fajitas and swimming.

RayRay with all the grands.

And, Bunny had to join!

Fun time with family is the best!

Ryder Makes Everything More Fun

We all love it when Ryder comes to visit!  The day he got here we went to the Star Wars night at the Astros.

And, then he got to watch Walker's first basketball game.  (W scored!)

 The boys played a lot of basketball, which was great for Walker!

And, we all had a great adventure at Top Golf.

They all three had a blast.  It makes me happy to see them enjoy golf.  And, I know Googie would love to see Ryder with a golf club in his hand!

Ryder got to stay 10 days this visit.  We loved every minute!

Walker's Big Adventure

Back in February, a couple of mom of boys in Walker's class were telling me about Carolina Creek Camp.  And, how their boys went to a six-night(!!) camp last year.  They were encouraging me to send Walker with them this year.  I told them they were crazy.  But, Walker really, really wanted to go.  So, Clark and I talked about it and we decided to let him.  Yikes! We packed him up (yes, six nights worth of clothes!!) and off we went.

Honestly, I didn't have major anxiety at first.  Because he was so excited!  He was even more excited when he saw his Zebra cabin!

He was having a blast before we could get to the car.  He loved being with Kaleb and Dash. And, the good news.... Dash's mom works for the camp!  I was able to get a little insight into how the boys were doing and she assured me that he was having a ball!

I will admit that I got a little anxious around Wednesday and Thursday.... I had never been away from him for that long!  But, it was silly, because he LOVED camp.  We got to pick him up on Saturday morning and he was tired, but happy! (And already talking about next year)


He got the "I am Third" award from his cabin.

And, Addie and Everly were very excited to see their big brothers...

I feel certain this is the beginning of a yearly tradition.  And, we are thrilled about that.  There's nothing better than an awesome camp experience!

And, I'm saving the best part of this whole deal for last.... (kind of how Walker told us).  Around 4 p.m., more than seven hours AFTER we picked him up, Walker told us that he asked Jesus into his heart!!!!  BEST NEWS EVER! We are so thankful that Walker continues to learn about Jesus and understand the importance of having Him in his life.  We are so very blessed.

May Snapshots

Whew! May was BUSY!  I've decided that May is officially worse than December.  It didn't help that this entire month I was on one leg.  Yes, after 39 years of no broken bones, I decided to go and trip in the driveway and break my foot.  I haven't been able to put any weight on my left leg for six weeks.  It has been a challenge, but thankfully, it's almost over. Clark has been wonderful and I am surprised daily by the kids.  They are so helpful and have really pitched in with everything around the house!

So, here are some extra pictures...  I drove these crazies to Houston for a field trip!

Elsa and Anna helping me through the trials of being one legged!

One Sunday evening we had to take Walker to the ER!!!

Poor baby had a terrible tummy bug and got dehydrated.  He was super brave getting his IV fluids.  Thankfully, he got better quickly. But, it wasn't any fun.

A few days later, Everly got a fever.  No other symptoms, but her puppy helped her get through a sickly day.

Clark and I have found our new favorite place in the Woodlands.  Trulucks!

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner.  Yes, we've been married NINE years!

Today is Bunny's birthday!  Since Walker is away at camp, Everly and I decided to take her for tea.  Turns out there is a great place in the Woodlands.  We are so happy to have found it.

Big girl is smelling some tea.

We really enjoyed it.

Such a fun tradition for the girls!

Did I mention that May was busy?  I'm looking forward to some lazy summer days! (with both legs!)
