Last Day of School

So it's the middle of July and summer is in full swing. Cameron's looking forward to heading over to the north campus and Caden's glad that he'll be top dog at the junior high. Today is a typical summer day. It's 1:00 and we're really just getting around doing whatever it is we're going to do--which is usually a bunch of nothing. The boys have friends over just hanging out and I'm about to write a paper for school. Davy's at work and we wish he was here. The kitties are loving life just lounging around inside on this rainy day. And once again, I'm trying to get caught up on my blogging. This one's bitter sweet because it wasn't just any old last day of school--it was Cameron's last day of junior high. I cannot believe that he's going to start high school next year. I have a lump in my throat as I write this. But there's so much to be excited about. And I am excited for him and I'm so very proud of him. And I'm so proud of Caden too. They both had a great year. They played well in all of their sports and made excellent grades. God has certainly blessed me with the two greatest sons I could have ever asked for. They bring so much laughter and love to this house and to my life. OK, so on to awards and the last day of school--here we go!

Last day of school morning picture! My loves!



OK, so this was the first day of school from the same school year--9 months earlier. I think Cameron grew maybe an inch if that. But Caden! Whoa there buddy! Taller, slimmer, and no more baby face!

Caden got the Super Six award! He participated in all 6 athletic sports and did a great job! Congratulations on your accomplishment Caden! Only four boys did this!

Bryndel, Caden, Colton, and Zachary

 Cam got the Fabulous Five award! He participated in 5 out of the 6 sports! Good job!

He didn't do cross-country, and I don't blame him!

Caden was not in the mood for pictures after the awards ceremony....just ready to hang out with friends.

Sarah had a great year as always and is always beautiful! Caden would make a terrible actor...

Camryn, Cameron, Kamryn, and Chris. What kind of name is Chris?

 Cam and Kam! "Dated" 6th and 7th--just friends in 8th.

They sure have grown since their first little date to Homecoming in 6th grade.

Best buddies! We have some great times with these awesome kids!

I love you boys! I feel so blessed to be your mom and enjoy all of these moments with you so much. Always remember that I love you for everything that you are--for just being you. Thank you God for these boys!

And thank you God for Davy! I love you Davy.
