Memorial Memories

I love group kid pictures!  The kids don't love that I scream and holler at them to get in the picture and smile and spit out your sunflower seeds or quit making that goofy face or hey you in the back stop hiding and you in the front duck etc....  Maybe 20 years from now they'll see the picture and smile and be thankful that I MADE them line up and say cheese.  So who are these punks:  Rusty, Rali, Ivy, Rexie, Jerzi, Tate, Bray, Pake, Meghan and Landry in front (aka Buggy)

I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned this, but Pake sorta likes to fish.

I took this self portrait to prove that I did in fact take Pake fishing in the boat by ourselves (unfortunately his Daddy farms and he can't play like we do all the time)  KD told me, "Tandy you're just going to have to take that boy fishing!"  I said, "Honey I can't back the boat and I can't load the boat!"  He said, "Well Pake can!"  So I confess, Pake backed the boat in and loaded it.  I did drive but he runs the trolling motor.  What it amounts to, is that Pake is only 13 and the game warden might frown on him being on the lake by himself so he needs his Momma to be legal.  One other point, I thought I might  mention,  uhhhh boats don't have a brake and I sorta forgot that when we were loading up.... almost ran the boat into the back of the ole Excursion.  That's when Pake says, "Momma move, I'll do it!"  I can't believe I'm telling on myself!

Pake, Miley and I went ATVing too!  So where's Tate y'all ask?

He was socializing of course.  Fishing with his buddies Brandon and Bray. 

We also found a good swimming hole down on the second boat dock.... There was a ledge with a straight drop off.... the kids had a ball!

Did I mention it was a bit breezy.  Well actually it was WINDY!  I thought this was a cute picture of the wind, well the girls make it cute, but they had to hang onto their towels for dear life...
