Kali Wins Again!

This little girl has a heap of determination and a great attitude. She spent a few days at CHS attending the Dance Team’s Summer Dance Clinic. The theme was Hawaiian Luau and she was hula-ing her way to another super win. She was awarded the big spirit stick for her age division and we are so proud of her! Way to go Kali! You’re an excellent little dancer and we love your ‘give it your all’ attitude! Super great job! Here are some highlights of the performance the dancers had for the families. Her second cousin, Kayla also attended the dance clinic and is pictured with her in some of these shots.

Three Fabulous Dads!

I’m so fortunate to have three of the most wonderful men in the world in my life. My own father, Donald, my husband, David and my son Davey are all absolutely fabulous fathers. They’re loving, giving, tender hearted, hard working, generous and really great people. I’m proud of each of them for their ability to love their children with their whole hearts and to be a shining example of what great fatherhood is all about.

Blue Ribbon Camp at ASH

Kali attended the Blue Ribbon Camp this past week at the Academy of the Sacred Heart in Grand Coteau. She enjoyed all the wonderful activities like horse back riding, sports, learning camp songs and swimming a whole bunch. On Friday Erica and I drove up to Grand Coteau to watch the camper’s program being presented for the campers parents and friends. She was chosen Outstanding Camper and got a Taekwondo medal for her age group. Kali, we’re so very proud of you, you excel in everything that you do, you work hard and have a super attitude, you did a great job at camp!

Destin-ation Vacation

Davey and Claire took the boys to Destin last week for a little vacation, they met up with some of their friends there. Adam went with them and they all had a fabulous time.

While they were there Claire took a few photos of the boys playing in the sand at the beach with Davey that I want to share here on my blog. We’ll be going to the beach in a few weeks with the boys and are really looking forward to it. Alex is in the green shorts and Eli the blue in these photos.

I love their little sailor hats! Before they left I packed up some fun treats for them. An ice chest with berry snacks and juice, a bag of snacks for the road and a whole lot of sand toys. The boys were excited when they saw the surprise and really loved them!

I created all the little tags with Shabby Miss Jenn’s awesome new “Hawaiian Vacation” kit.

This is a layout I made with it featuring a photo from our trip to Perdido Key last summer. Claire and the twins at the beach for the day.

Fun at the Beach
