More Summer Snapshots

GPS choir program at Southeast

Anna is loving on little Max.

My cousin came and visited one day this summer. She has three boys (her 4th arrived just a few days ago). The kids had a great time playing.

Max is smiling! This is kind-of a funny looking picture.

Emily turned 8!

Emily turned 8 this past July. We spent her actual birthday camping! We always celebrate on their birthday as a family so we took cupcakes to the campground. Sometimes a grandparent or two happens to be there - this time, Grandad spent the evening with us.Heading to bed in the camper
This was at her party with family and friends.

Happy Birthday, sweet Emily! I can't believe you are already 8!

4th of July

We went to Arkansas this year and spent the weekend at Casey's aunt Sheila's. It was a lot of fun. We swam, played, ate great food, shot fireworks, and I actually got to take a nap or two! :-)doing some daytime fireworks...

Max was pretty impressed.

Night time fireworks

Grandad gave the kids glow in the dark necklaces and bracelets. They couldn't wait for it to get dark.

Alyssa's first sparkler!


All decked out and glowing!

Emily's a sparkler pro!

Anna wanted as far away from them as possible. :-) But still looks pretty in her bracelets and necklaces.

Eli wasn't sure what to think...it was two hours past his bedtime. (Eli loves to sleep.)
And Max, again, totally thrilled. :-)

Father's Day (June)

This year on Father's Day, both our dads decided to come with us to our little church.

We went out to lunch and took a few pictures. The kids sure are growing fast!

Holding Max

The girls LOVE holding Max...

and they really want to hold him while standing up....

they take turns passing him around....

Max doesn't seem to mind.

Summer Snapshots

Here are the girls! They went to Vacation Bible School at Southeast Baptist Church here in Muskogee. They had a blast and can't wait until next year.
All 5 on the butterfly!

Anna loves cupcakes!

Piano time!

Max's first bath (May 2009)

Wow...it' October now but these were taken in May. He has already grown so much. He is such a little sweet heart!

He has lots of hair - although it's thinning and changing colors now.

Visiting Tonya (May 2009)

The girls wanted to help feed.
Eli didn't want to help. Tonya was a little too big for Eli.
