Four Camps in June!!!

CHURCH CAMP!!
Right after school ended, we dropped the kids off at Camp Rock Creek for their very first camp experience!
 Zane had his cousin and a backwards green tshirt and Avery had her accessories. I kid you not, she packed a headband, bow, and necklace for every outfit!!
While they were gone, we lost power at home from a tornado, making me a tad worried. I received a text informing me they were just fine thank goodness! They had a blast!!
CAMP SING-A-LOT!!
Avery had a good time going to day camp everyday for a week. I have misplaced the fun CD of all the pictures, but here she is with the CEO of camp!!

OU GYMNASTICS CAMP!!
Avery BEGGED to go to camp with her friend this summer. They stayed in a dormroom by themselves...
 with this OU gymnast monitoring their hall...
 The evenings they had fun doing a talent show...
 swimming and deocrating their door...
but the rest of the day it was just gymnastics. Apparently she doesn't love doing gymnastics 6 hours a day. She said she will not go back!! I'm glad I had to sell an organ in order to pay the tuition...I guess I can rest in peace knowing I won't have to do that again!
Her favorite part of camp was this...
GOLF CAMP!!
Avery was not excited about this, but Wes is convinced he'll create a daughter with a full ride college scholarship...
She makes a cute fashionable golfer that's for sure!
There was only 2 days in June that Avery didn't have something going on...not sure what we were thinking...

It Appears We Are Still Alive

2012 has been a difficult year.
Here are some highlights of April and May...

 Zane made a lovely sticker story at school that says...
Oh No! Cried Nemo. We're inside a shark! It's okay said the dad, now how do we get out? I have an idea! OK. I know how to get out of this place!
 On the other hand, Avery got in trouble for a terroristic drawing.
The other side was all balloons and happiness, but apparently the teacher did not appreciate her "Happy Died Birthday" side of the card for a fellow classmate! She said the boy it was for thought it was funny. She came home crying worried about my reaction. I laughed and signed the dern thing.
 We finally made it to Edmond's Touch-a-Truck little annual gig. Zane cried wanting to leave at first. The poor kid has always had sensitive ears and one side was full of non-stop honking horns. We went to the other side until our ears got used to it and had a good time.
 We enjoyed the annual mother son cowboy BBQ for the fourth year in a row. We not only did not dress up this year, but apparently we didn't even make it out with an adorable mother son picture. I love my little cowboy and am sad he has now aged out of this activity.
  We finally took the kids to a Redhawks game for the first time in YEARS. Am I the only one who wears pj pants out in public? 
I do get dressed ocassionally...
 My older sister had another little baby boy, but I guess getting a picture of the Five Guy's burger I ate that day was more exciting?
I do indeed love Paxton dearly. I promise. 
Zane graduated Kindergarten!!!
Avery turned into a rubberband...
 and Zane realized he hated Karate, even though he begged to do it for a month. He apparently really hates saying "HU" after every move he makes. Live and learn.
 The kids have become iphone experts... 

and I graduated from Pathways Core Training.
This is a hard but very rewarding program.
 Time is flying...
