June! (is almost over...)

Oh my CHICKEN the first month of summer sure has flown by!  We are busy working, throwing in a few fun things, and enjoying life!  

 

These two jumped in the backseat and made me drive them home...it was a loud drive!

Our pretty Cambree!

Cason jumping in fully clothed!

Paw and Bmaw are home!!  Caedmon is super excited! (really...even though you can't tell in this pic!)

Andie & Cam

Cason loves the pool more than the rest of us!

Cambree was in her friend Allie's quinceanera and did a great job!


Emily & Cambree

Cam & her daddy

Blu and I headed out to watch Cam dance!

Gorgeous hair done by Blu's cousin Katie!

Katie's new baby, Jeremiah

Natalie and Katie came over to get Cambree all ready!

Dustin tried to help, but we took the mascara away quickly!

On last week's delivery to Dallas, we got stuck in Arlington when the truck's brakes went out....

Dad is always building stuff with leftover wood scraps from the shop!


Happy 65th to my Mama!!

And Happy 48th Anniversary to these two!


T-r-o-u-b-l-e

We try to get the boys in the shop as much as we can!

I've been in the shop a ton...

So has Blu...

A new family member, my Uncle Lynn with his wife Francis!

Blu & Prescott

Cambree attended a 3 day basketball camp at UMHB!

She stayed in Lord Hall and got to see some of the campus!

It was pretty surreal leaving her there!


My alma mater!

She wouldn't let me take a picture of her, so I took a pic of her key card in the gym ;)

Sunday afternoons...


Sometimes they love each other!  Everyone seems to love Caedmon more now that he can drive!  ;)

Summers are for pedis!

Cambree makes friends everywhere she goes - here she is with her new basketball camp friends!

Tomorrow we are headed to the coast for a delivery, so we got an AirBnB for a couple of nights with some friends!  Summertime fun!

Falls Creek Youth Camp 2021

 We survived Falls Creek 2021!  Back when we lived in Alvarado, we took our youth group to Falls Creek (Davis, OK) for 2 years, and we really loved it.  It's hard to beat the price (about $150 per kid for us Texas residents), it's great for large groups, and it's HUGE.  Our camp had 4,000 students - how amazing to see them all gathering together to worship Jesus!  We had an extremely eventful drive up to Oklahoma, and a drive home, but aside from those circumstances, the week at camp was awesome!  27 of our students made decisions either to follow Christ, to recommit their lives to Him, or to follow Him by serving in ministry!  Here's our family pics from the week!

Donovan & Cambree

Claire & Cason

They love each other!


Cambree & Caleb

Morning quiet time

Poor Blu was SO sick the entire week....he felt so awful, but he never stopped!  He even survived the Wednesday morning 5K!


Me & Baylor

Aww....little brother love!

Matthew and Caedmon with "ice in their veins..."

Rachel & Caedmon - this was her first ever church camp and she had SO much fun!

Sponsor volleyball team!

Stealing Cambree's Instagram posts...

Cambree & Ella

She's a beauty...

So is Caedmon?

And Cason?

On the last night, Blu's voice was completely done, so he had Donovan interpret for him, yelling instructions...it was hilarious!

Rachel & Caedmon ready for worship

Cason taking a hike

I love this man!

Our sponsor + Cambree volleyball team!

Go Cason! He played on the Middle School Co-Ed team and the Boys team.

A quick sponsor game of Bible Trivia in the a/c!

A hike at Price's Falls

Cambree spent most of her time in Camille's bed....


Lots and lots of volleyball was played!




By Day 3, we got smart and drove our vans down to the Rec Field!

Camille and I sleep this far apart from each other but still send each other text messages from our beds...

Falls Creek is VERY hilly!


My sweet Mille!

So much karaoke!

And dancing...we "might" have danced and played poker in our cabin at church camp...

Brothers!

Donovan, Rachel, Cason, Caleb, Matthew, Caedmon

Hunter & Cason

I sure do love this man!  But it was hot.

Two of my favorite people ever :)

Cambree and I did SO. MANY. BRAIDS.


Ready to go!  Hunter, Aaron, Brennan, & Cason

Blu...always yelling!

It's hard to describe worship in a room with thousands of teenagers!


He was SO sick.... :(

Hanging with Kirsten!

More volleyball!

And more braids - we finally started tag-teaming!

More karaoke!

The Amphitheater Rec spot was awesome...there was SO much to do, or you could just sit and hang out!

Hugs from Big Sis!

Ashley & Cambree

A "Triple Date" for coffee - Cason & Cheyenne, Brennan & Jensine, and Makhale & Levi

More sibling hugs...must have been a record!
