Cameron’s 10 birthday party

On Friday night, September 19th, we celebrated Cameron’s birthday with some of his closest friends.  The cake and goodies were a golf theme since he’s been playing golf with PawPaw lately.  While waiting for other friends to arrive, they played some football in the yard.  After supper and cake, we headed to Celebration Station to play mini golf.  After mini golf, some played arcade games.  Some of his friend were able to spend the night so we watched “Rio 2” before heading to bed.

Governor's Office of Homeland Security field trip

On Thursday, September 18th, we visited the Governor's Office of Homeland Security. First we watched a movie on "Getting A Game Plan" for the family in case of a disaster. Then they explained what GOHSEP was and how it worked...how all the different local, state, and federal agenices work together when a natural disaster occurs. Some of the kids got to act out an example of how different departments/agencies are called when a disaster happens. Finally, they got to see where the governor meets with the heads of the different departments.

Associates in Pediatric Dentistry field trip

On August 15th, we had a field trip to Associates in Pediatric Dentistry. First, they showed us the results from an experiment where we could see the effects that acid has on your teeth with fluoride applied versus not applied. Then we moved into the cleaning rooms where the hygenist explained teeth cleaning. Finally, we watched a couple of short youtube movies about going to the dentist.

Monroe Staycation

Back in August, we went to Monroe to visit Paw.  Since we aren’t going on vacation this year, we decided to do some “touristy” things in the Monroe area.  First, we drove over to Ruston to walk around the Louisiana Tech campus where Daddy went to college.  Then on our way back to Monroe, we stopped at Duck Commander in West Monroe.  Later on in the day we went to the park in Paw’s neighborhood to play a little bit with Elliott before they had to drive back home.

2, 4, 6, 8…

These birthdays did we celebrate. On July 5th, we celebrated birthdays of Melody (2), Cole (4), Micah (6), & Miriam (8) with a cheerleading themed party.  Thanks to Tricia for making the cute shirts for them.  I went with a La Tech theme since they are red, white & blue and it was the weekend of the 4th.  Here are some pics from the party:

He is the One that I Want

The “Art is In” camp musical this year was called “He is the One that I Want”.  It was based on the 50s.

Micah was a cheerleader in one of the dances.

This was Miriam's first year with drama lines. She played a carhop.

Luke was a "squeezer", danced in the "squeezer" dance and sang a solo.

Cameron played the conscience of the main character. He's takes a vacation to Havana, Cuba because he hasn't been consulted for a long time. He also sang a solo in the "Conscience" song.

We were very surprised that Levi was given a role this year since he is really shy. He was a movie star named Jack Warren. The coolest part about this character is that he got to enter the stage on a "motorcycle."
