Camping Scout Style

Thomas' scout troop had a camp out at Palmetto State Park. It was nice. They had a bunch of activities to keep the kids busy and even allowed the siblings to participate. They did tug a war, hikes, knots, and much more. They were working on earning belt loops. We took Sammy with us and she was a hit! Lily & Thomas had a blast!

Beach Fun!

We went to Quintana Beach for a day. It was the second day we had Sammy. She had a blast! We wore Sammy and Lily out! The weather was not that warm but the kids didn't seem to mind.

New Member of the Family!!

We got a new 8 week old German Shepherd Puppy!!!! Her name is Sammy. Thomas named her after his best friend in OK, Sam. Sammy is a GREAT puppy!!! She is not very hyper, lets the kids manhandle her and slept through the night on night two!!! (We have only had her since Thursday) Bud is doing good with her, he even moved away when she walked up and started eating his food. I couldn't believe it! I expected him to bite at her but he didn't. The cat on the other hand can't stand Sammy. Sammy ignores Stymie which is a good thing! We are Loving having her in our family!! She has already started following the kids around which is what we wanted!
SAMMY!
We Love our new puppy!

Don't I look cute with bows!

Lily gave me this dog and I LOVE it!!

At the end of the day I get to sleep in a real bed!! Boy am I one Lucky Puppy!

CS Visit

We went to College Station for 3 days to visit my family. It was fun. We were able to see all 3 of my brothers and wives. We even saw the twins but didn't get any pictures. They are getting so big!
Getting ready to camp! The kids have been wanting to camp so we set up the tent. There was plenty of grass to set it on but Thomas insisted that was not real camping it need be in the woods. So we stuck it out in the woods. Lily didn't make it more than about 15 minutes. I stayed with Thomas and he actually fell asleep but woke up after about 2 hours and we headed in the house. The ground is hard especially with sticks under you! I need an air mattress if we are going to try that again.
We didn't bring the kids swim suits but they decided they needed to play in the water. Grammylu was nice enough to chase them around spraying them with the hose.
Lily in her new church dress. Thomas and one the partial skulls he found at Papa's land.
Thomas & Chief had a blast running around Papa's land!
For a good time Papa cut down a tree that needed to burned.
We left the kids alone in the bath for a few minutes and came back to find them like this! Massive bubbles!
We could hide in these bubbles!
