Summer Memories

Scott and I were so excited to see New York this summer with Beverly and Jimmy. We had an amazing time in the Big Apple!

We enjoyed the fireworks show on the 4th of July! AG & Caroline goofing off at the Mall...and with poor Chip!

Walker and Charlie had a big time this summer. They were back and forth better the two houses all summer! Mostly they played the Wii, played baseball or swam, but occasionally they would hang out and watch TV. In July, Scott and I decided that the kids needed regular chores around the house. They earn an allowance each week for completing these chores. So now I don't have to beg for someone to help in the kitchen or with the laundry. And the kids are learning how to manage their own money.

This was the summer of the loose teeth! Walker started out looking like this... then like this...

now he's completely snaggle toothed! Scott had a BIG birthday this summer, and the kids and I couldn't resist letting most people in the neighborhood know.

We did a little reading...and napping

and hanging out with friends.

Centrikid

Anna Grace and lots of her friends went to Millsaps in July for Centrikid. From the pictures, it looks like they had a great time. Unfortunately, Anna Grace was a little homesick and wanted to come home as soon as she got there! Luckily, I talked her into staying until Thursday. Walker and I drove to Jackson and watched her drama team during Worship service that night, and then we spent the night at Nana and PopPop's house. I think she ended up having a pretty good time.

4th of July at the Lake

Anna Grace was so excited to go to Pick Wick lake with Caroline, her family and Mary Alice over 4th of July weekend. She went to the lake for the 1st time last year and absolutely loved it! She was also very thankful that she didn't have to go to all of Walker's baseball games that weekend! I only heard from AG one time over the weekend, and it sounded like she really didn't have time to talk to me! She was having way too much fun!! Thankfully, Beth sent pictures over the weekend so I could see how much fun she was having! 3 silly girls!

Mr. Lee and AG had fun teasing each other all weekend!

Just hanging out

Dizzy Dean All Star Tournament

The Tupelo 7 year old All Star team made a great run at the Dizzy Dean Tournament in Eupora over the 4th of July weekend. They played 9 games in 4 days with a 7-2 record in over 95 degree heat! They went from the losers' bracket to the Championship game! We were so proud of the boys' persistence and good attitudes during the whole weekend. They never gave up!

World Series Champs!

Walker's baseball team played in the Park & Rec World Series - and WON!!! They had a great season and capped it off with the World Series win!! He loved playing with this team, probably because Sam and Charlie were also on the team! But he also made some really good friends on the team as well - Ryan Thistle, Jake Weir, Landon Camp. We all wish we could keep this team together next year!

Pep talk before the championship game.

Happy Father's Day

God has blessed our family so richly with with a husband and father who loves us with all his heart, but loves God more. We are thankful for his protection, love and care.

1st Baseball Tournament

Walker was so excited to play in his first baseball tournament. His All-Star team played a small tournament in Saltillo and won! They even beat an 8 year old team! They played really hard and had a great time!
