Family Business??

Billy started his new job on Monday and the kids wanted to make him a cake to celebrate. We didn't get to it on Monday, so we decided today to make not one, but 2 cakes for Daddy! Maybe they will follow in my cake decorating footsteps!

Happy 4th of July!!

Ok, so really it was the 3rd, but close enough! Every July 3rd we go to the area's best fireworks display! The symphony is there and there are inflatables for the kids and a huge fireworks display! The kids sported their nifty patriotic shirts (made by their talented momma!)

The End of June

After the beachfest we spent most of the rest of June just resting. Cam still had some ball games, and then the awards dinner. Both kiddos also got a try at Karate... they LOVE it and we plan to let them keep taking it (Billy and I might join them too!)

Cupcakes for the team (I was in a MASSIVE hurry)

Myrtle Beach - Beachfest!

Myrtle Beach had it's Beachfest in June and we decided to go! It was so much fun! We drove to Carolina Beach on Friday and camped out there. On Saturday we drove on down to Myrtle Beach for the day. We walked around on the beack some before the excitement started! On the beach the kids got henna tattoos. At the beachfest we got to see some extreme sports shows (the motocross guys were the best!), then we saw a few concerts. The night ended with TobyMac (the whole reason we went... the kids are HUGE TobyMac fans). It was so much fun! We came away DIRTY and exhausted, but so happy! We got back to our tent just to have a huge storm hit. It was by far the worst night of camping we have had! Still, a fun weekend! 8) Enjoy the pics (and check out the motocross pics!).

Field Trip!

We had our first official homeschool field trip.... we went to a police station. It was great! We saw a TON of things (like the 911 call center, the room where all the traffic cameras feed into, the conference rooms, and we got to meet the Police Chief!). It was such a fun day!

My Fishies

The first week or 2 of June was 100+ degrees. It was flat out HOT! So, to keep us in the shade and still keep the kids cool, we put our kiddie pool in the garage. Here are my little fish playing away.

How sweet are they?

I LOVE this picture!

Dancing Princess

The first weekend in June means dance recital time for us! Kaylen was in a dance called "Snuggle Puppy". She was so adorable! She loved to pose for all of the pictures...such a diva. The other little girl in one of the pictures is Kay's best friend Gracie. They are 2 peas in a pod!
