Simple Summer Fun

Here we are passing the early days of summer at home. Nothing very exciting- just our day-to-day activities at home :)

Snips and Snails

Murphy continues to be our little "naturalist".  Always on the lookout for critters.  It doesn't matter how slimy or gross they seem to the rest of us, Murphy picks them right up and insists on carrying them around for awhile. Thankfully, we have managed to set all of his little friends "free" before they were brought inside to infest my house!

Class of 2012

We headed up to NC for Kimmy's graduation from high school! We are very proud of her for all of her hard work- we know it wasn't always easy- but she made it through and is off to COLLEGE in August!

Congrats!

BTW- I can't believe that we will be doing this with Griffin next June!!!

Somebody call 911....Fire burning on the dance floor

Prom Night- Enough said....

Griffin looking quite Dapper 

Griffin and Erin looking very Stylish!

( I wish Prom dresses looked this pretty when I was wearing them!)

Cheese Coma

Murphy has gotten to the age where he has decided that he doesn't need a nap everyday. However, on the days he decides to skip his siesta he can barely stay awake through dinner. I guess the mac-n-cheese is a sleep inducer. 

And the Award Goes To.....

REESE 

Reese had a BIG night on Monday. It was Awards Night at school and soccer and she came away with 3 awards.

1. The Principal's Award for having straight A's ALL year

2. Leadership Award (don't know exactly what that is for but it sounds good)

3. Player of the Year award for soccer

We are very proud of her for all of her hard work at school and on the soccer field. She takes her work and play very seriously and is always working to improve herself. Keep up the good work Girl!

I Can See Clearly Now

Finally!!!

Whit and Murphy can see again!

They got new summer do's.

Whit did NOT want to go to the barber shop so he insisted that Poppy give him a haircut like Brett.

I am not crazy about Whit with a crewcut but I did not feel like arguing with him so I caved.

It is only hair and it will grow back, plus it will be cool for the summer.

Murphy did go to the barber and looks very handsome especially since we can see his eyes again.
