Father's Day

We spent Father's Day relaxing, barbecuing and swimming at Crooked Creek. Crooked Creek is a campground and man made reservoir near Ville Platte, Louisiana. We spent the day at their picnic and "beach" area. I must say, I enjoyed some very interesting people watching ; ) The kids had a blast and were very upset when we had to leave at 4:00 because of a big rainstorm. Here are some pictures from the day. I didn't manage to get clear shots of Austin, Sydney or Savannah. I really need a new and better camera.



Here is Dad, cooking some chicken patties, sausage and hot dogs. He loves to cook, so yes this was enjoyable for him, being Father's Day and all.





Samuel, Parker, Ava and Daddy playing in the sand.





Isabella holding a shell she found.





Ava loved the beach, she kept diving into the water headfirst! We definitely have to watch her near water, she is a little daredevil! She should enjoy going to Orange Beach, Alabama in August for our family vacation.

Beautiful Hibiscus

Here is a picture from my garden, I woke up yesterday morning to be surprised by these beautiful hibiscus. I had bought the plant at the end of the season last year, so never saw what the blooms looked like. What a nice surprise, they are gorgeous, I wish they lasted more than a day. I only started gardening last year, my dh used to do it all by himself. I just never thought I would enjoy it, now I am addicted! LOL

second post

Well, it is June and this is my second post. I guess you could say I am one pathetic blogger. My last post was in February. I really just wanted to add some pics taken on Memorial Day of my beautiful children.


Here is Samuel, my 3 year old. This is Austin, my oldest at almost 15. I think I surprised him LOL
Parker is 13 and always so serious.
Sydney, Ava and Savannah swimming in the pool.



Here are Savannah and Ava swimming in the back yard. Ava LOVES to swim, she would stay in there all day if we let her.



















This is Chad, my dh, with Ava. We are at my mom's house on Memorial Day.
