Beach again

We made one last weekend trip to the beach before school starts. the kids are like me, can't get enough. Walking the board walk enjoying the day.

Our New Friend

Yes she is a thumb sucker. Ashby came to visit today. For those who know Carla this is her little girl.
Mine don't seem so big until they get next to a little one.
Couldn't get the thumb out to say cheese.
Tristen loves babies.

Oh Baby

Tristen playing games on computer. Trying out his new back pack.

Somer and her babies. The one in her lap is Jesse, she is the baby of all babies.

Boating on the 4th of July

They enjoyed riding in the boat. They also enjoyed swimming and having Scott throw them in the water.
This was the most exciting thing for them. We got to see several dolphins. Tristen told me that was awesome.
Hanging out with Aunt Carol
Memaw wasn't happy when she realized she was in the picture. She thought I was only taking it of Somer.

Green Belt

Getting his green belt. Tristen didn't get to do the formal graduation, he was sick, so he got his belt the following week.
Taking off the yellow belt in the proper manner. You always have to take your belt off with your back to the black belts.

Learning Early

Somer has all of the sudden decided she wants to wash dishes. She's pretty good at it.
Not a great picture but they were trying to jump up and get leaves. I don't think both feet ever left the ground.

Hangin Out

Hot day. See how they cooled off. Playing in the sprinkler.

Long Hard Day at the Beach

They were wore out. Didn't get to play in the waves. to much seaweed. Had to go to bay side. Not as much fun.

My little fisherman. the entire family will be doing karate before long Kool Aid face.

My Babies

Doing Karate. Somer loves doing it at home but don't even think about it at the academy.


Aunt Lydia this picture is for you. I broke down and let her wear her all white outfit.

Schools OUT

Pre-K class of 2006
This is Tristen with his teacher Mrs. Crites (on the right) then Ms April and Ms Deedee.
I don't think he looked at me for any of the pictures but with all the commotion going on I was glad to get a picture at all.

To Be Young Again

Want to feel your age, ride your kids bikes.

Hang Loose

Helping Out

Getting the ground ready to plant the garden.
Somer loves helping out, when she's not giving me a hard time.
Comparing muscles. I think Tristen's might be bigger. haha

Great Day at the Beach

Tristen had a blast playing in the waves. He didn't want to leave.
The water was so beautiful today.

Somer is running from the crash of the waves but she calls them whales.

Headed to graduation

On the way to get my yellow belt. Boy are we excited.
Had to get one of miss priss in since the next several post are of Tristen.

Bowing in to our judges. We have to do alot of that.
