Its been a while since my last blog, so I am just fitting all this in as one. I hope you enjoy it!!
The Branch Family Reunion
It wasn't a big Reunion but it was fun to see who was there. The kids had fun too
Tage on a rope swing. Not the greatest rope but he had fun swinging and hanging on it.
Savanna playing on the rope swing. She wouldn't exactly get up and sit on the knots but she hung on it so I guess it was fun for her.
There were a couple apple trees around and some of the apples had fallen on the ground, well, there was also a pond right there and the kids thought it was so funny to throw the apples in the pond and watch them float. They were told time and time again not to throw them in but they didnt listen, so this picture is of them hiding and throwing apples in the pond.
This is just Tage and a cousin, not sure her name but they were each others shadow the whole day long.
Just the three kids swinging.
As you can see, Tage and Banna swinging.
This is a pic of my grandma (left) and my Aunt Lee (right).
Family Pictures July 2008
Chris got home from Iraq at the end of June, and my parents went to Washington for a Homecoming they had for the troops and then days later Chris surprised us by coming home for a visit. We did take family pictures last year right before Chris left for Iraq, but the kids have grown and what not, so another picture was in order. I dont think they turned out that bad.
The Carroll Family. Funny enough I now have a different hairdo so I think new ones are in order for us. :)
The Paul Damron Family
The Chris Damron Family. (jack the dog)
Grandma and Grandpa Hooper. Not a bad one if you ask me.
The tree the kids are in were was like perfect for a cute little shot. The kids thought it was way fun being up that high in a tree so we did get some good shots of them. This is Tage in the back and his Cousin Cason in front.
Tage and Banna in the same tree as above.
We were at the Rotary Park taking the pictures and Dad thought it would be cute to take the kids to the park to get some "fun" shots of them playing, with a little direction. They did turn out really cute though and yes the kids did have fun.
I dont know how I could have gotten any better of a shot of these two. They didnt exactly want to share the swing at first but decided it wouldnt be too bad. They laughed and giggled the entire time.
The 4th Of July
This is Miss Banna!!! And she will let you know. This picture is so just cute I thought. For some reason I never really got one of Tage by himself, I guess the whole parade and candy thing distracted him.
Ok so there is Tage kinda. I didnt get much pictures because we had to run afer Savanna the whole time, any time she would see candy thrown she was running after it, and it didnt matter where it was. One time she was like half a block away, boy she is fast! The kids did get tons of candy which I was thrilled for. I did however, find out that Savanna loves fruities!! Then about Tage he just likes whatever he can get his hands on. A mothers dream come true. :)
After the parade we always go over to Central for their little town BBQ and games. This is Savanna in her age race, falling, or well after she fell. She is so graceful, but as you can see she still has a smile on her face.
Tage man in his race, if you can see him. He is back there in a get ready stance. He had fun and even got a quarter for his efforts, which he immediately went and used to buy an Ice Cream.
All in all July was pretty busy. I am sure there are things that I have missed but I guess these are the most significant. Sorry it is sooooooooo long, but i hoped you enjoyed it. I know we enjoyed making all the memories.
