Archery Tournament!

Was this our 5th or 6th year? Time flies when you're having fun!! We spent another fun weekend together shooting and relaxing in the river. All the kids won a buckle this year--way to go!!! The wiser of the group received the "Also Participated" honors, but certainly had fun trying! We stayed at the "Farmhouse" for the second time and had a blast! I like to record ages and grades sometimes, so here goes.

Sara--17      Senior
Cam--14      8th grade
Sarah--14      8th grade
Landon--13      7th grade
Caden--12     7th grade
Davy 38       3rd grade
Michelle 36 on the Saturday we were here
Josh  35 I think
Mumaw 57
Paul 48? 47?
And I'm 37 (from the day before we got here)

Oh yeah, Gonzo--3 years I believe, maybe 4











We only had one minor injury this year--it has since healed up nicely! By the way, Paul had nothing to do with this.........





Nice chin......






Woo hoo! Nice shot Caden!
Bullseye!



Check out Mumaw's--sweet!


Now for river time! It was a little windy and and overcast on Saturday, so it was kind of chilly, but Sunday was perfect--sunny and warm.





Another one of Paul's antics........


Davy was so proud of that fire!
It was a good one as always!


Cousins just chillin'.........





Archery is very serious.....




But not too serious!



OK, so this is what I get when I ask the boys to put their arms around each other for a nice brotherly picture. Not very close, but I'll give them a B for trying.


This is their second attempt. I think they got one inch closer. Again, it was a good effort.


In the meantime, Landon found a weird tool........


And here we go for the third time. We actually have arms around bodies!!!
And Paul didn't have to threaten them or anything! I think Cameron is trying make us think that he doesn't appreciate this moment, but it's not working! We know you love it!!


Birthday party!!! Happy birthday to me and Michelle
Happy birthday to me and Michelle
Happy birthday dear sisters
Happy birthday to us!

36 and 37 years young!

Mumaw got us a beautiful cake--very yummy!




What is Michelle doing?


The man........the legend. The one that makes it all happen!






Caden's score!! Awesome!! I would have taken one of Cam's, but he had already turned it in.


BIL....chillin'.










The Saras catching some rays.......


Caden wanted to fish so bad!



Gonzo loving life.......


I love these two pictures--they are growing up too fast.







Cam throwing signs.....
I'm not in the gang, so I have no idea what it means. But it looks serious.


Go Sarah!!


Nice buckle!!


Caden receiving his buckle!


Cam receiving his buckle!


Landon reveiving his buckle!



The youth winners for the boys! Caden got second, Cam got third, and I can't remember what Landon got, but it was right behind there somewhere. They all imporoved their scores from last year and rocked it!!
Way to go! You guys were definitely representing!!












The guys!



The girls!


The kids!! I love you all so much!!


See you next year!!
