Girl Scout Brownies Kemah Trip

Misty's Girl Scout troop decided to go on an end of the year trip to Kemah this year. Misty was so excited. They got to ride all of the rides, eat at the Aqarium, feed the stingrays, and play in the water fountains. Misty loved the wipeout ride the best. The stingrays were so cool to feed. They almost jumped out of the water. I think this will be a trip the girls will always remember.

Mother's Day - Walk to Empower

This is the third year I have participated in the Walk to Empower for Breast Cancer. I lost my mother in 2001 after a long battle with cancer. This is my way to continue to support her and everyone that has to deal with this horrible disease. One of my good friends, Lisa Jones, from High School got me started. She is the leader of Team Ya Ya and is so supportive of us all!!! It was a nice walk this year. Shorter than last year, but still so moving.

The finish line...


In memory of my mom!

Beth lost her first tooth!!!

Beth has finally lost her first tooth!!!! She has been wanting to loose a tooth for so long now. She wanted to be able to fill it in on the tooth chart at school. She didn't like it too much while daddy was trying to pull it out, but once she found out it was out, all was ok!!! The first thing she said was "I have got to tell Ms. Roux!!!" Ms Roux is her kindergarten teacher. What a big girl...

Girl Scout Pinewood Derby

This year Misty and Beth participated in the Girl Scout Pinewood Derby! I don't know who was more excited, the girls or their dad. The girls both picked out the colors for their cars. They also helped dad with the design. Beth didn't place at all, but Misty placed 1st in the Brownie Division and 2nd overall!!! She was so proud and so was Daddy!!!! We have big plans for next year...so watch out!!!
