A graduate, babies and a little friendly jousting

This is our wonderful nephew that graduated last weekend. We are so proud of him. We went for a visit to help his family celebrate the end of his high school journey, the beginning of his college life and a mission trip to Peru that the Lord is sending him on. He will be attending VCU in the fall where he has been accepted into their art program. You ROCK Michael and we know that God has mighty things in store for you!

I think I have told you before that one of my most favorite things to do is jump on a trampoline and I do believe my girls like it just as much. A#2 and A#3 jumped all weekend long.

All I heard was watch this Mommy, all weekend long.

Mommy's turn!

One of the babies that our family has been blessed with recently. Mr Noah just celebrated his first birthday on Monday. He is the sweetest thing ever! And he is a ham bone just like his Daddy!

Mr Mason and his Mommy. This little guy had a rough start but prayers were answered and he is WONDERFUL!!

We were able to spend time with some family that we don't get to see very often. Hubby and his cousin Dave grew up together and now only see each other every couple of years. They have the best time when they are together. We miss you David and are so glad we got to spend some time with you.

Oh mercy! We had so much fun on this contraption. A#2 romped on this thing all weekend. It was a combination of a bungee race, bouncy thing and jousting competition.

Hubby and Dave going at it all while hubby is singing Hail to the Redskins ( Dave is a Dallas fan).

And guess who won?

Yep!!! The Redskins baby!!!!!!

He had to rest after that one.

Then it was time for the women. Me and my SIL took on each other.

We had to pose first of course.

Let the games begin.

And for some reason.... SHE TOOK ME OUT!!!! f-shew glad that's over ;)

She had to take a break after it was over. I'm not sure who I am after in the back ground.

The next day, A#2 right back on the trampoline. I love this picture.

My MIL and all 9 of her grand babies. We are such a blessed family!

There is a story behind this picture. When my SIL and cousin were pregnant someone was taking a picture of their bellies and my BIL jump in a stuck out his belly. Naturally after the babies are born there has to be an after picture and this is it.

He was wore out!

A#3 giving goodbye hugs to Mr Noah. He liked it and had the best smile afterwards.

We had such a great weekend and hated to leave. Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday A#1 and Michael were as small as these two and now they are both college students!!
