June Memories 2010

June has been a month full of fun times and great memories! It seems like we have been celebrating something the whole way through. This first shot gives a glimpse of what life is like in a house full of girls gone wild for summer!

Cheerleading camp this week has been such fun for you girls and today was "crazy" day. Ailee you loved it, of course. You would dress this way everyday if we let you and, Anna Grace, you had to make sure your outfit still all matched even if it was a little funky.

And, today was Mommy's birthday...thanks for the wonderful dinner you all cooked for me last night and the sweet gifts you gave all day today. The handmade ones were definitely my favorite! Mommy was so surprised when we showed up for American Idol night at the club pool. My sweet friends had a little surprise party for me! It was complete with my favorite dessert, a banner, balloons and special friends. The best was the beautiful version of Happy Birthday sang by all the little princesses during karoke. Thanks, ladies, for such a memorable and loving surprise!

Then, there was Father's Day last weekend too. You all made Daddy some super sweet "trees" from the branches that have blown all over the yard during the nightly storms. Anna Grace, you came up with the idea to tie notes all over them that explained all the things you love about your daddy. I think by far his favorite comment was..."My daddy does a great job taking care of me!" So sweet!

We all look forward to our escape to Uncle Matt Matt's and Aunt Beth's each summer for your cousin's birthdays. Campbell and Cybil both had a joint party this year and it was a blast.

Sorry, Anna Grace, but I had to put this picture up. (Not just because it is the only shot of Campbell I got all day...she is in the background chatting with a friend) But because I love the way the camera captured you throwing this ball. It is not a secret that you have very much of your Mommy's athletic ability. Gracefulness is definitely more our thing than throwing balls and shooting hoops. However, you may have looked a whole lot like a "girl" throwing this ball, but I think you surprised the boys when you hit the target on the first try almost everytime you got up to the dunken booth. I know I glanced at Uncle Matt Matt a few times when his eyes were big along with his grin! You are a very determined little lady. I cannot wait to see what you accomplish once you set your mind to it!
