Campus Fun

 We got home and couldn't wait to see some of our favorites!  Haynes cried the last two days of our trip because he missed Beau so much:-)  We headed to campus for dinner and fountain hopping...maybe a little swimming!

I just love these two!

*Funny story...

While we were at the beach Haynes lost his flip flops one day.  He says he put them at #2...but we never figured out what that was...since we only brought one pair of flip flops he got a new pair.  When we went fountain hopping Haynes managed to lose a second pair of flip flops.  Brian was sure he could find them so took a bike and rode campus for 1.5 hours after we put kids to bed...never found them!  Haynes had to work every day for a week to earn back some new flip flops.  He has been ever so careful ever since:-)

Family Pictures

Seaside Florida

 Brian downloaded all of the pictures on his computer from our trip, so here are the few I had...

We "Thundered Up" for 3 games while we in Florida.  

 We had such a great time with our kiddos!  They just LOVED the beach, the pools, riding bikes, everything!  I just love watching all of their little love cups get overflowed from time with us!

 These boys LOVED playing and wrestling for the ball at night.  It was so fun watching them play so hard...I love having boys!

Love this beach beauty!  

Halle Beth

Halle had Minnie shirts too!  WE literally threw her in the car, hoping she would stay asleep.  Halle, like the rest of my kids, is a complete extrovert.  If there's something going on she must be awake...needless to say she didn't sleep the rest of the day!  Even without much sleep she is still a complete joy!  Just look at that face!!

SuRpRiSe!!!

 We have been planning a trip to Seaside to celebrate my brother's 30th birthday, but a few weeks ago we decided to tag on two days at DisneyWorld.  We decided not to tell the kids until the morning we were leaving, because we didn't think there would ever be another time in our lives that we could keep that secret:-)  The plan felt PERFECT until we realized our flight left at 5am and we stayed up until 12am watching the Thunder game...Port too!!  

I bought a HUGE box and two life size Mickey and Minnie Mouse balloons.  We filled the box and tied a bow around it.  Brian and I went into the kids room at 3:00am and turned on the lights.  We told the kids that we found this box that they all needed to open together.  Port and Ella jumped out of bed, Haynes took a little more time:-)  Eventually they all opened the box and the HUGE balloon came flying out.  They all said, "WE ARE GOING TO DISNEY LAND!!"  

Ella ran to Brian and hugged him and said, "Thanks for surprising us Daddy!"

 When they came in the living room I had everything laid out for them.  Ella had a minnie shirt and princess flip flops.  The boys had mickey mouse swim suits.  

We quickly got dressed and hoped in the car!  

Disney World here we come!!

Thunder vs. Heat

Brian and I got to go to Game 2 of the NBA Finals with Bob and Judi.  We were so excited and didn't even care that we were leaving the next morning at 5 for vacation!!  Unfortunately we didn't win, and the series didn't end well.  We had the best time cheering them on though... Go Thunder!

Dance Camp

While the boys were in football camp the girls got to go to dance camp, this might have been the highlight of the summer.  The girls LOVED it!  I was so impressed by how many little dances they learned, cutest crafts, and they just LOVED going!  A few weeks before the camp they called and told me I was on the waiting list, but I knew that couldn't be right.  Most things I would have let it slide, but Ella has been talking about this ALL summer.  Thankfully they realized the mistake and these three cousins had the best time.  Oh how I love their sweet relationship!
