Aubrie got to go to her very first camp this year.. it was an all girls camp located at Camp Pineywoods. Its about a 2+ hour trip from Katy.

there were 5 girls from our church that went..
they were so excited... you wouldn't believe the octaves their voices hit.

Skippers Birthday Surprise

Skippers birthday fell on a Monday, but Aubrie would be at camp.. so we cooked up an idea to celebrate his birthday as a family on the Sunday before. The kiddos took Skipper on a bike ride to keep him away from the house while I quickly made sandwiches and packed a cooler. I stuffed the cooler, a blanket, fishing poles, and a tackle box into the car just before they got back. We blind-folded him and put him in the car.. I had to drive around for about 15 min and try to "loose" him, he has an amazing sense of direction... finally we end up at the park. He was surprised !! Good thing was since he was blindfolded.. he didn't see everything stuffed in the car :)

We ate a picnic lunch and I enjoyed watching them fish and have a great time. I also enjoyed taking a million pictures with my new fancy camera...

oops.. got too close !! :)

Aubries hard work !!

our neighbor is digging up his front yard to put in these huge flower beds... he offered us his grass, and since our backyard has been dirt since we moved in, we gladly accepted :)
Skipper and Aubrie have been working on the yard for at least two days.. getting the sod down and watering it several times a day.

Here are some pictures of her work !!

I helped with all of this :)

she LOVES getting all dirty !!

yes.. even the piggys got to play in the dirt

look mom... I can make an "X" in my hand

can you tell she had a blast !!
