Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day Clay!
You are a wonderful Daddy to our girls and we are blessed we have you.
(Not too sure what the girls are looking at but I thought this picture was too cute!)

Enjoying being with Daddy... looks like he doesn't mind it too much either, huh?!

Kisses for Daddy!

flower picking...

(Everytime the girls go outside they love to pick flowers! As much as I love my flowers, I can't bring myself to not allowing them to pick them. I see it as them enjoying Gods beautiful creation. Plus the flowers will grow back but my girls won't always be out picking our flowers!)



Hug Daddeey!

This last picture is a glimpse of what Daddy experiences everyday he comes home. (You can barely see him in this picture due to the sun, but he is coming around the back of the car.) The girls both run to him yelling "Daddeey" usually and greet him with tight embraces to his legs unless he gets down in time to catch the HUGS! Chas and Cherish both love and adore their Daddy and I must say that I am beyond thankful for a husband who cares so much for our children. "Hunny we are proud of you and love you very much. Have a Happy Father's Day! (You deserve it!)"

Family Road trip -Branson, MO

Pretty Chastity Girl at The Dixie Stampede
The girls loved looking at the Horses! Chas was quite impressed
while Cher got her fill then wanted to run...


Precious Silly Baby

Chas loved all the girls dressed up in their BIG dresses!
Cher didn't want anything to do with them though!

Learnin to Ride their horseys!

Chas and Cher would always act like their umbrellas at home were stick horses and run around yelling, "horsey horsey," riding them together. I was going to make them some stick horses, but we found these cute ones at Dixie Stampede and they even make noises!




The girls and their new horseys!
Chas named hers "Amy" and Cher's is just plain "Horsey!"
Gettin ready for the show! They were so excited.
I love this one... the flash caught her sweet little eyes!

Daddy surprised us by coming home one afternoon and saying, "we are going on a road trip this weekend!" He knew we all needed to get away together and even though I fought with migraines all weekend, it was well worth it! I love spending time with my family!

Chas' silliness

Chas had been quiet in her room for quiet some time, then came to the kitchen to show what she had been doing... this cracked me up and I had to take pictures!
She had put her press on fingernails on her toenails all by herself!!!
How cute and funny! She enjoyed the laugh she gave us all!
Hilarious!

Memorial Day Weekend- Fun with Maw Maw

Mom had a project for the girls to do and not only did they love every minute of doing it, but I think the products turned out rather cute! Check out their painted birdhouses (which now are hanging in Mom's flower gardens) and their flower and sunshine...
Cher proudly displaying her "Sunshine!"
Working hard! Chas painted her house almost entirely by herself!
Her lady bugs were even her finger prints. It turned out adorable!!!
Painting out on the deck in the beautiful Sunshine while the guys golfed!
The girls love being in Maw Maws lap (I don't think she minds it too much either)... she has a way of making every moment fun and memorable! Thanks Mom for being such a wonderful grandmother for my babies!
...Cher is Maw Maw's Butterfly.
This picture was too cute... Cher and Daddy one the basement steps being silly!

Maw Maw and the girls made strawberry shortcake one night. Uncle Pooh and his Dad came in town for a round of golf with Clay and Dad at their neighborhood golf course... so they treated us all to a yummy dessert!
Working hard!!!
With a taste here and there!!!
That's the chef priviledges, right Cher girl?!

Memorial Day Weekend- WaterPark

I have a lot of catching up to do on posting our pictures. Been battling sickness again- keep us in your prayers! But here is some from our trip to Mom and Dad's for Memorial Day weekend... Pure Summer Joy!
(if you could only hear the sound that goes with these pictures...
the giggles and laughter are priceless memories)
Thank you Lord for my fun girls!!!

Chas' precious silliness is so spontaneous but the laughter absolutely contagious!

This picture looks like Cherish is bravely taking on this water umbrella... but she enjoyed the water slightly from a distance this time around. By the end of the weekend though she was really warming up to the idea!



FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN
The girls wanted to go play in the shooting water spouts... so we all did....
until Cherish got over it... here goes her Sassy poutin march! DETERMINATION! I love it!!!
Poutin with her doesn't last for long... something else catches her attention way too fast!

"That looks fun sissy!"


I love the putting on shoe pictures! Her new saying is... "I do it!" And don't ever under estimate this child! Remember that determination picture-- she wants it done her way! Don't ask Clay or my parents where she gets that from. :)
Look at my girls, ready to go play in the water, as soon as the bucket finishes dumping!
(Guess you had to be there to understand that one!)
Playin in the water bubble with daddy!

Gettin some sunshine with "Mommie's Sunshine!"
Okay so maybe they get the faces from me...lol! (Guess you caught me, hun!)
Look familiar?

I love these of Chas and her Daddy! He was a trooper getting in that freezing water for Chas. Let's just say they caught colds from it, that have been traveling through the family since! lol... that the sacrifices you make for your kids!
But I have a feelin that they both loved every minute of it! Look at Chas' face!
She is our little fish!
Check out Mom and Dad's neighborhood waterpark facility... the girls LOVED it!
That's only half of it in that picture too. Amazing!
Cherish and her "Grendaaey" aka Granddaddy! Anytime he would leave her sight throughout the weekend she would yell for him at the top of her lungs! And by the way... that's loud!



Okay so I couldn't resist showing the faces of Cherish... and there are many of them!
This was not staged either... and believe it or not, she wasn't after anything,
just found a place to put her finger!
She loves wearing her glasses and will tell you she's "Cool!"
The girls on the way back to the water park!

Thanks Maw Maw and Granddaddy for a wonderful weekend!
We are ready to come back... miss yall already!
