Gotta love the rides

Tristen and Dale almost always beat me and Somer but we tried. They could have stayed on this all day.
Bumper cars were ok, but not the favorite
I thought these next rides would freak Tristen out, because he is so cautious, but he as well and Somer absolutely loved it.

The first drop on this ride, we weren't sure if they liked it but they made so much noise and had so much fun they kept riding it.

Showing off tatoos


All the pictures from todays post are going to be of pictures from our last trip to Destin. We all had a great time.

Another Belt Graduation

Mr Ros was telling Tristen what a great job he had done using his weapon.

Just got his purple belt
If you look close to the right foot you can see him breaking through the board.

We are going to miss him

For those who remember Hooch. We had to have him put to sleep Friday. After 14 years his body was getting old. That was the most difficult thing Dale and I have ever had to do.

Several First for Somer

She finally decided to go for a ride.
First day of pre-K. Holding the new lunch box. Sitting at her new desk. She is loving it.
After years of being scared of the noise she finally gave in to the temptation.

First Day of Kindergarten

checking out the globe. He was amazed how it showed the mountains.
My desk at school.
Waiting to go to his first day of school.

Tea Party heaven

Playing dress up with Lily again. We had so much fun.

ZOO




My little butterflies and kangaroos.

The curls are gone

Tristen got his curls cut. We were laying in bed and he ask me why God made him like a girl, referring to his hair. Dale and I felt like crap, so I cut it short just like Tristen wanted.

Having a hot day at the Zoo.

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

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.
