Vacation

For the first time ever, we took a family vacation.  Cory and I both took a week off work and took the girls camping.  We went to Mid American Museum and the water park in Arkadelphia.  We took them to an Arkansas Travs game in LR and to eat dinner with Uncle Shannon.  The girls fished, rode bikes, and made new friends.  Overall, we had a wonderfully relaxing and fun time!!!  I'm already planning next year!

When Anna would get hot, she would sit on the edge of the boat and stick her feet in the water or would wade in the edge of the lake.

 Well, they fished, but didn't quite catch enough for supper!

Of course, what's better at a ball game than funnel cakes and frozen lemonade......?? :)

.....maybe getting a foul ball that someone near us caught and gave to the girls!

And, on any vacation, we need a little silliness!!!

Love my girls!!

End of the school year

The end of the school year seems to be one of the busiest times.  The girls are so busy with extra school activities and trips.  But, it is also one of the most fun times!  I can't believe we are finished with another school year....now I have a 3rd grader and a 6th grader....middle school!

The school district has a yearly literacy celebration.  This year, Governor Mike Beebe's wife, Ginger, participated.  Afterwards, she read to Anna's class!

Audrey and some of her classmates were able to visit the State Capitol.

Anna's school had a Spelling Bee this year.  She won the competition in her class, so she went on to compete against other 2nd grade classroom winners.  She won and is the Spelling Bee champ for her grade!  I was so very proud!

Audrey was able to participate in METS (Math, Engineering, Technology and Science) competition this year.  She and her partners built a soda bottle rocket that was launched across the football field.  While hers didn't win, she learned a lot while doing the project.

Anna's school had their end of the year Field Day at a local park.  There were tons of activities and they had a picnic.  The school and PTO did a great job!!!!

So far behind

Wow, I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted.  So I will work over the next few days to get caught up.  Since the last time I posted was before Easter (almost embarrassing), I will start there!  We went to church that morning and then had an egg hunt with family :)
