The girls did a great job this morning at church performing their summer musical. They spent the past week at MAD Camp (Music, Art and Drama) preparing for this big event.
Above is Elizabeth doing a dance to one of the songs.
We went out for a nice lunch afterward with Nana and Papa Gammon. If you look close you can see Catherine's new tooth.
We celebrated Eric's 40th birthday last night. The kids had so much fun decorating the house and making him a Dr Pepper cake. We got him an iPad but sad it did not arrive in time for his birthday.Catherine is already 7 months old! Above is an 18 second video of her crawling. She started the army crawl a few weeks ago and cut her 1st tooth. She is now full speed and into EVERYTHING!
The kids enjoyed the new Ice Age Exhibit at the Heard Museum.
They had a great time with Nana and Papa.
Getting wet is the only way to survive in this Texas heat!
We made an impromptu visit to a local splash park so we could cool off a bit. Afterward, they were able to play tennis.
The kids thought it was the greatest thing ever getting wet in their clothes!
Catherine could have sat here all day.
Eric got great seats and took William to the Ranger game last night. William was so excited to hang with just daddy. The rest of us enjoyed being boyless and had a fun girly girl night! :-)
After our Arkansas adventures we took the kids to Branson for a couple of days. Above picture of us at the Branson Variety Theatre waiting to see a Broadway show. It was really good.
The kids loved Dick's 5 and 10! They got lots of souvenirs!
We took the kids to the White River in Northern Arkansas for 3 nights/4 days. Our GPS and iPhone were not able to pinpoint the address of our guesthouse so we started our vacation lost on a dirt road in the middle of the Ozark Mountains! 
The stairs from our guesthouse down to the White River.
We took a sunset boat cruise on Bull Shoals Lake.
William was so excited to drive the boat.
Catherine getting the marshmallows ready for our S'mores. The kids also had fun hiking, fishing, swimming, playing washers, riding a 4 wheeler, feeding fish off the dock and catching lightning bugs.
The girls went to basketball camp this week. Elizabeth is middle row third from left. Sarah is on the front row far right. They both won the Hustle Award for their age groups and Elizabeth won the Hot Shot Award. Look Out WNBA!
Catherine is six months old today! We started her on vegetables for the first time. She thinks squash is so yummy!
The kids had a fun time at VBS this week. They sang their songs during church this morning. It was Elizabeth's last year to go to VBS. :-(
We took the kids back to the Dallas Zoo today to see the new Giants of the Savanna exhibit. It is awesome and worth getting out in this Texas heat! I think the temp was close to 100 but we brought spray bottles and the zoo has lots of spray misters.
The kids were so excited to pet and feed the giraffes!
They loved riding the camel and we all enjoyed the Monorail Safari Tour.
We did the Susan G. Komen race this morning. I am so out of shape but made it across the finish line with my three girls.
Nana got ribbons in memory of Cousin Debbie and in celebration of Great Nana Green.
My friend, Sandy, and her family joined us. It was a great experience for the kids!
Catherine chillin' by Papa and Nana's pool. She got in the pool for the first time this afternoon and loved it!
William was one of three players selected from his team to play on the All Star team. He played for the South team. (William is second from the right).
He had two great hits.
William playing the pitcher position. He is #2. The South team beat the North team 20 to 17! Way to go All Stars!!
Today is our 15th Wedding Anniversary! Eric had emergency gallbladder surgery over Memorial Weekend so don't think we will be going out for a steak dinner tonight! Happy Anniversary! (wish I was still this skinny!!)
It is getting harder and harder to get the kids settled down for bed. They are so excited it is almost Summer Break! Today is the last day of school!! Yay :-) Catherine is so tired in this picture. She is not about to go to sleep and miss something! We are ready for some late summer nights. Hopefully, that means late summer mornings too! 
William and his best friend riding their scooters around the lake this morning. They are excited about starting kindergarten together in August but for now they are having fun just being little boys READY FOR SUMMER!!!!
Last night was the 1st time Eric had all 4 kids by himself! Sarah is such a great helper. She got Catherine to sleep all by herself.
Last night, we took Elizabeth to her end of year Alpha program. Papa and Nana Green went with us. Everyone looked so nice!
Elizabeth coming out of the limo to walk the red carpet.
Her Science project. Ask her about it!
We took William to Kindergarten Roundup this evening. He is getting excited about starting "real" school! Catherine was in the front pack while we took the school tour. It seems like yesterday when William was in the front pack taking Elizabeth to Kindergarten!
Mother's Day was perfect! Thanks to the Lord for giving us 4 precious children.
We had Catherine baptized on Mother's Day. She did great and entertained the congregation with her happy squeals!
We are so blessed to have loving friends and family especially our two amazing mothers to share in our special day.
It was an extra special Mother's Day. One I will always remember!
