The Haircut

Karson decided he needed a new haircut.  He liked this one....
 
 He got this..not quite what he expected.
 Not too bad with his hat on.  ;)

Baseball

Karson played on an Iredell team called the Renegades this year.  Hico didn't have enough boys to make their own team.  4 Hico boys played on this team.  This year was considerably better than last year!  We had a coach that knew what he was doing :)  Coach Fletcher is actually the baseball coach and ag teacher at Iredell.  Karson played 2nd, short stop, 3rd and pitcher.  He was all over the place.  We won 3 games this year!!!  (That's 3 more than last year.)  Woohoo! ;)

Rain! and a hammock

Lanny and Karson were amazing the day before my birthday.  I came home after working up at the school to a brand new hammock!  They surprised me for sure.  I LOVE it! :)
 It had been raining so much throughout the week.  This particular day it rained 7 inches just north of us.  Before long there was a river in our back yard flowing from one tank to the next then on out.  The water was really moving.  The kids decided to float it with the new tubes Mamme and DadDad got for them.  They were able to float from fence line to fence line.  Below is a video...you can hear Reagyn screaming at the end...she was afraid she was about to get in the electric fence.

 

The Rest of Us

While Reagyn was at camp, Mamme and DadDad and Jaxxon came to get Karson for the weekend.  Jaxxon wanted to go to a Ranger game for his birthday from them.  Karson was pumped to be included.  They actually got to watch 2 games, eat good and stay in a hotel.  Can't beat that!
 

 Since both kids were gone (woohoo!) we decided to take advantage.  Lanny and I went to Fort Worth and messed around.  We went to the Botanical Gardens...wow!  That place is amazing.  We also got to eat a Razzoo's and Uncle Julio's.  YUM!  Great weekend. 




 

Children's Camp

Reagyn went to Children's Camp with the church group.  It was in Glen Rose at the River Bend Retreat Center.  This is a way cool place with a river water front.  They have a trapeze that goes over the water, a blob to bounce into the water, regular pool and a zipline.  TONS of things to do.
Reagyn and Sadee
The whole group...great bunch of kiddos

Julia, Kaylee and Reagyn
On the way Monday afternoon

She had fun a crafts.

Boo stood up the following Sunday, and told everyone her fav part of camp was the Bible study! 
 


Her fav place to spend the afternoon was the waterfront.

 Thursday night was parent night.  We got to join in worship.  It was good to see her.  They were all sunburned and tired. :)  Worship was so amazing...to see 600 kids worshiping the Lord.  Very encouraging.
After we parents left, they had after dark swimming and fireworks.  She said it was so fun!
The car ride home looked more like this. ;)
 
So thankful she got to go with her church/school friends to this camp.  She's finally feeling comfortable and feeling a part of something.  Also her counselors were such a blessing.  They took the time to take and send pics to us mommas.  I didn't worry about her much but I did wonder if she was having fun.  She was!  She can't wait to go back.
