HOMECOMING....

Tonight Linden Ann Newton went to her first prom. It was Riverton High School's Homecoming!!! Her boyfriend, Anthony asked her, and it was so much fun getting her all ready!!

Aunt Abi and Aunt Codye came to help get her hair and makeup done.

Having fun getting ready. Woo Hoo!

First Hair, Then Makeup, Then Dress, and TA DA......

A BEAUTIFUL LINDEN!!!

I can't believe my little girl is going to a dance!! I'm so excited for her!!

We love our Linden!

Linden was soooooo nervous for Anthony to pick her up. She knew we'd emberass her with pictures, and WE DID!! It was so funny, Steve walked out and got right between them for the picture. We were all laughing.

Anthony's dad was taking pictures too. These two felt so dumb with a big audience, but it's something we all have to go through, right?

They look so cute! His tie actually matches her dress!

Putting on the corsage, so much fun....

Anthony's dad drove them in the truck. I was trying to get a picture of her climbing in to that big truck and she finally gave me the "STOP TAKING PICTURES!!!!" look.

My little girl driving away to her first dance..... Have fun!!!!

BINKY DRAMA....

Ry Ry has loved her binky from day one....

But after a couple of tries taking it away, I had to finally get serious!!

The only way to get rid of it was to REALLY get rid of it!! I kept giving it back to her when it was "convenient" for me!! She is now BINKY FREE!!!!!!! (still asks for it all the time though!!!)

This is what she thinks about the whole thing...

TRIP TO TEXAS!!!

Oh my gosh, what a fun trip we had to Houston Texas!!! We went to visit Papaw and Missie and Mark and his girls!!

Steve, Linden, Camryn and Braden took off for a 24 hour road trip at 4:05 am!! What a fun time they had.....

Here they go....

Playing around on the drive...

Made it to Texas!! Still HOURS of driving ahead though!!

Braden loved watching shows along the way.

The girls having fun on the drive....

Cool Dad, just driving along!! I heard he had quite the singing voice on the trip!!
Fun times at the hotel in Albuquerque (14 hours down, 10 more to go!)

Woo Hoo, made it to Houston, and to the pool we go!!!
(Ryan and I got to fly! I feel guilty about it, but Ry Ry would have been awful on the drive!!)

Yay, fun times at the pool with Uncle Mark, Rachel, Kaitlyn and Chloe!!

Look at that bootie!! We forgot the swim diaper the first day!!

Steve and his dad, I just love seeing them together, makes the whole trip perfect!!

Camy and Chloe just lounging...

Steve and I went to Capital Grill to visit Mark one of the nights. So much fun!!

Look at those bartender moves!! Can I get a Woot Woot!!

And back to the pool....

One night we were at Marks, and he ended up throwinig everyone in the pool with their clothes on! It was so funny....

Hanging out...

After swimming, the fashion show began....

>

It was so fun to drive around and have Steve show us where he grew up...

Steve's first day of Kindergarten....

And here he is 40 years old!! Time sure flies!

The oldest and youngest, loving the Texas flag!

We went to the museum and went in the butterfly pavilion, so much fun!!



We love Papaw and Missie so much!!! They were so much fun to be with!!

Everyone "acting" like a tree so the butterflies will land!!

The kids acting like fish, what goofs!!
Camy with Papaw and Missie, showing off her butterfly!

My worst fear, a bunch of bees!!

Of course we got to go hit golf balls!!! How fun....










The kids got to do the funnest Camp at the Country Club. They LOVED it!!




I'm too tired to put this in the right place, so pretend it's at the end of this! Here's Braden on his first plane! He couldn't wait for "blast off".

The boys loved chasing the bunnies on the golf course!!

Oh my, Papaw had this hat and wore it around, we were laughing so hard!

Thanks Papaw and Missie for a great time!! We love you!!!!
