Patty retired...

2 years ago when I went to work at the school I knew that I would make good friends. Patty and I became really close and I love her dearly. She put in 31 years at the Pea Ridge Schools and she sooo deserves to retire. :) I am going to miss her so much. I love you Pattyloowho!

Our entire crew the last food day.

Patty and I. :)

Jase is a Marine...

I think most everyone knows who Jase is..if not he is my good friend, Angie's son. Angie and I have been friends since elementary school. I love her and her family so very much! Jase graduated this year and he left June 21st for the Marines. They had him a little going away party and of course I took my camera. :)

We bought him a Marine's bible. It's duffle bag size and it has a special devotional section for Marines. I think he really liked it :)


They did his cake as a Marine/Graduation cake. It was yummy!! (He's gross and sweaty because they had been playing football in the yard. When they came in Jase and Logan decided to make me a "mom sandwich" It was soooo gross! My t-shirt was completely soaked w/stinky guy sweat!)


Picking teams for football...the girl's didn't last long..


Randy & Kacey


My sweet Madi...(the girls came out when they got back from cheer camp)


Jase w/his grandparents...


Jaelin (Angie's youngest) and her friends


The girls were so cute...they tried to out jump Logan for the football...;)

First day at the creek this year...

Wasn't really that deep right here but deep enough they could do a few jumps and flips..


Charlie and Madi being normal...


This was the first time Harley had ever been swimming. He was just a pup last year so we didn't take him...we didn't know for sure how he was going to react because he is such a chicken! Scared of EVERYTHING...but he LOVED it. Randy and Harley acted like a couple of kids just having a grand ole time...


I think most everyone knows how scared Harley is of everyone and everything...but not at the river. He was friends w/everyone and would even follow them to play so we had to put him on the chain some to keep him from leaving w/all the boaters. :)


There were trees and stuff down from all the storms and flooding earlier this year that the river was blocked. Being the sweet man Randy is he ended up helping a lot of people carry their canoes over...
