Jumping June

I decided to combine most of our June activities into one post for the sake of time and efficiency. The month of June was filled with all kinds of exciting events. The girls and their parents were all very busy. I thought we were going to have a laid back summer but things sure did not end up being very boring. 

 

Campbell was the first one to get to go to ACU camp this year. She loves Kidquest and this year was no different. It was made even better with two of her best friends at camp the same week. I love the stories she has to tell me each day and all the fun songs about our Lord. This camp is definitely a highlight each summer.

 Next up was Kaylee's turn for learning to Lead at ACU. She roomed with her sweet friend Samantha and they decided on a Disney theme for their dorm room this year. I love that Kaylee has so much fun at this camp but it is so hard to have no contact with her for almost a whole week. Hard for me that is, not Kaylee. I love that there are so many college students and other volunteers that make this week so fun for her and also teach her about God. Again a huge highlight for her summer too.

Also in June Cary got to go on a Guy's Fishing Trip in New Mexico. He really need the time away after being so busy and work and I was glad he got to go spend time with a few great friends while enjoying the outdoors.

The Picture Cary was nice enough to send me of the gorgeous scenery and cool weather.

I did manage a girls' weekend getaway but the only picture I ended up with was the donut food truck Kaylee recommended we go to based on the Food Network.

Kaylee and I did manage to get some baking in too. Nothing like a little quiche and Monkey bread.

Campbell's 7th Birthday

 Well the day Campbell had been waiting for finally arrived! Turning Seven was a huge deal to her so it made celebrating it all the more exciting. She decided to have a slumber/movie party this year. Of course, no birthday is complete without a delicious cake from Sam's Club.

 The birthday girl sporting the biggest smile ever!

 Is it present time yet?

Campbell is still our baby so it is so hard to see her grow up. I love seeing her develop more of her personality each day.

A few things Campbell enjoys at this age;

* She loves to dress up. When given the option she is more of a skirt and dress girl than one who will wear jeans or pants.

* She loves school but mostly for the social aspect of things.

* You can often find her practicing her cartwheel in our den because she loves gymnastics.

* Part of her is still my little girl because she loves playing with Littlest Pet Shop, dolls, Barbies, and My Little Pony. Most of the time you can find her using her imagination playing with any or all of these.

* Campbell is still a Momma's girl most of the time. She loves to cuddle and have your undivided attention.

* She loves her friends and does not want anyone to be upset.

* Her sister is her best friend, most days.

* She loves learning about the Lord.

* Anything girly is her favorite!

* Her favorite food is barbeque meatballs with rice.

* She recently started piano and seems to have quite an ear for it.

* Her personality reminds me a lot of my Dad in the humor area anyway.

* We love watching this sweet girl grow and change each year.

Thank you Lord for our special girl. Campbell Grace brings such joy to our life each day and we are so glad the Lord made us her parents. We love you sweet girl!!

Wylie Softball Closing Ceremonies/District Tournament

Well we made it through the season and actually ended up in second place in the 10U division! I was so excited for the Express because they were such a precious group of girls who gave it their all this year. Unfortunately, closing ceremonies was on Memorial Day weekend so about half the team was out of town but the girls that were there were more than happy to show off their trophies.

 Campbell had to get a picture too

 The very next weekend we had the district tournament. We won our first game on Friday night but then lost the first game at 10:00am Saturday morning. That put us in the loser bracket so we played another game at 2:00pm and won therefore we played again at 4:00pm and won, 6:00pm with a team that had only played one game that day and lost. The last game we played ended the tournament but I do not think any of us were too disappointed. All the girls played their hearts out and we ended up tying for third in the tournament. Way to go Express!

Kaylee hit the ball lights out the whole tournament. That girl has one great swing!
