Walkin' for Diabetes

We walked for diabetes in Lubbock!  Our cousin, Kory Koontz who is a PRCA team roper has diabetes, so his Mom gets the "D" runners together to participate in the event.  I have never participated in anything like this, but I really enjoyed it! 

Tori & Sandy, and btw Tori, check out who's in the background.... I had to laugh =)

the Ranch

We spent the weekend at the ranch.  We rode!

Kerry Don took the road grader and worked on the roads.

We hiked.  Yikes

Pake, Tate, Aaron and Drew

I made it to the top!  Pake's looking at me like... BIG deal Mom!

It was a narrow plateau... it was a big deal!  To me anyway =)

Then, we came down through this crack... I barely fit!  

 I almost cried once, but I made it ;) Now I'm crying because it's time to go back to work!

 

50 Years!

Kerry Don's parents have been married for 50 years!  50 years is a LONG time in my book!

We surprised them with supper, cake, friends and family.  Oh and how could I forget the ice cream!

These five boys are Don and Freva's boys. 

This is our Adams family.

These gals make up their better half!  =)  I'm just keeping it real here! LOL

These are a few of the punks that we got a picture of, some of them had already ran off and the others are married or off at college.

 

Oh dear these two.... what can I say they keep us entertained.

As I've said before.... Y'all ain't gonna BeLiEvE this...

We had the ultimate rEdNeCk country bumpkin diving board at Lake MacKenzie this weekend. 

Yes that's a Skytrack.

 

 

My kid was the second punk to jump in.... no fear!

 

Wow... cool diving board huh?

The kids were definitely entertained!

What could be more fun than a high dive at the lake? I promise it's very deep.  As a result of the drought, the lake has gone way down... but it turns out there is a huge ledge or drop off here and it was the perfect location for a skytrack diving board.

KD & Newt (owner of the skytrack).  Newt is a just a BIG kid and he gets a big kick out of the little kids having fun too!  Well truth be told, I'm not sure who had more fun the big kids or the little kids.  I do know two big kids that just supervised though (hint... KD & Tandy) =)

A couple times they loaded up and went up higher!  Yikes!

This guy was the bravest and took the highest jump... go sPeEdO!

 

Then they had to get a ski rope and make a swing.... everyone lOvEd it too!  Especially tAtEr Jack!

 

lAbOr DaY has now come and gone. Summer's over y'all (sniff/sniff).

We went out with a bAnG though!

But hey on a bRiGhTeR note.... it's time for some fOoTbAlL y'all and hArVeSt and then comes pUmPkInS and then tUrKeYs.... wait I might be getting ahead of myself.
