We got a chance to get in another cute photo shoot in early September. This one was my favorite!
Emilee played her first season of volleyball and did soooo well! It's terribly hard to catch great shots of this sport though, as things move very fast. But here's two (albeit a bit blurry) of Em serving and of her diving to her knees to hit the ball over the net.
All five of us got the chance to go to our awesome children's museum a couple of weekends ago. The favorite section for all was the space section. Em and Trev, and then Joshua and Carter, got to climb into this Apollo replica and perform a mock space mission. (The lady seated outside acts as Mission Control, and then who ever is inside communicates with MC via the headphones, mics and cameras...look on the monitors and you'll see Em, Trev, Carter and Joshua.) Emilee and Trevor were very serious and carried out everything that MC asked...and Carter was adorable as he actually talked back and forth the with lady!
We also got to explore our city zoo recently as Joshua's company picnic was there this year. This was a must-have picture...this turtle was HUGE!
And we took the opportunity to snap a family shot with all of us in our matching orange shirts.
It's terribly hard to get a camping trip in here in Oklahoma. The summer is horribly humid, so humid for most of it that you can't be outside from about 8am to 8pm. Then, on days it might be a tad less humid, it's VERY windy (like blow a tent over windy). OR it might be severe weather with rain and tornadoes...
BUT we managed to find a window of nice weather over Labor Day weekend and we jumped at the chance to pack up the tents and fishing poles and hang out in mother nature!
Fishing is the activity of choice while we are camping and we have a wonderful lake about 30 minutes from the house that we like to head to. As soon as we got to the campground, Joshua and the kids hit the shore and put some poor little worms on hooks. This is Carter patiently waiting for his little bell to ring that signals something is on his line...
And look at the reward for his patience!
Emilee hooked several over the weekend...
And Trevor reeled in his fair share as well!
Carter usually catches twice as many as anyone else out there...and this weekend he also brought in BIGGEST! It was hilarious to watch him reel in this HUGE fish on his little tiny two foot pole!!
Our awesome friends, Brad, Jamie and Braeden came out for part of a day and hung out with us!
One final picture around the campfire...
