Ice Cream Eating Contest

Sunday, July19th, 2009, was National Ice Cream Day. I entered a Bruster's Ice Cream Eating Contest. Although I didn't win, I got a tee shirt, a frisbee, an ice cream pin, a free waffle cone, and an ice cream scoop. Jordan entered a frozen tee shirt contest, in which people from ages 9- 14 were each given a folded and frozen tee shirt. The first person to break open the tee shirt and put it on won a free ice cream cake. At first, it seemed like an older boy was going to win, but then Jordan came out of no where and won.

Family

Hanna and Alex enjoyed doctoring everybody, especially Uncle Cliff

Hanna is a little bundle of joy! She says the cutest things and gives the best hugs.

Haley loves to be everywhere all the time. She walks around laughs a lot.



Dad wrestled with Hanna, Alex, and Blake.

Haley is so cute!!!

Somebody likes ice cream!

Hanna loves the pool.

Who are you gonna get Hanna?

Jordan liked to "shower" his cousins

Hanna liked to swim with her life jacket. She would say "I don' know how I do it!"

Alex was a little fish out of water.

There goes our little spider monkey

I sat with Hanna, Blake and Alex at the "cool table"

Jordan and Haley

Miranda and Haley

We went to Knoxville to visit Mom's side of the family from Friday, July 10th, 2009- Sunday, July 12th, 2009.

Father/ Son Golf Tournament

Jordan and Dad play in the Three Pines Golf Tournament every year. They have won four years in a row.

Fun on Fieldtrips

As a Converse student, Mom had to write some reflections on Cowpens Battlefield, Walnut Grove, and Upcountry Museum. Miranda and I went along to make it interesting. We had so much fun laughing at the video they showed at Cowpens with it's cast of "pirate soldiers". I was stalked by a bee that kept getting in my hair. Literally.

House for Sale

Dad was transferred to LaGrange, Georgia with Miliken. We painted the walls and got new carpet. The house went on the market June 27, 2009.

Pink Sissy- Night of Adventure. Suddenly this drunk man laid down in Paula's lap. Mom teased that she wished she had caught it on film. That's when he wouldn't let up until he'd had a picture with everyone.

Friday, May 29th- Sunday, May 31, 2009

Derek Leonard let us borrow his beach house. The house was only a block and a half from the beach. There were 3 bedrooms upstairs, an open floor plan with a full kitchen and two bathrooms. Downstairs was a laundry room, a room with 3 bunk beds, and a full bathroom. The garage had a golf cart, a wagon, boogie boards, beach chairs, and a big tent.

Miranda, Jordan, and I all looked for sea shells. I was the one who started the search. We asked for Mom and Dad's help. We searched up and down the beach for shells.

Jordan, Miranda, and I all enjoyed boogie boarding the waves.

I, after being buried in the sand by Miranda, agreed to make Miranda into a mermaid.


Lisa, Miranda, and I went to the beach by themselves on Saturday, while the boys played golf at Litchfield Country Club.

Miranda and I had bunches of fun in the water. We would spend and hour at a time just jumping over and under the waves.

Parker Langford

Miranda's boyfriend since September 18, 2008, Parker, is one of Jordan's favorite people. To Jordan, Parker is the older brother he never had. Parker plays golf with him, jokes with him, and sometimes drives him to or from the golf course.

Jordan's 11th birthday!

This year Jordan invited over 5 friends, Chance, Cameron, Joe, Cole, and Carson. They saw Night of the Museum and had cookie cake and pizza. Jordan's big gift this year was an iPod.

Miranda gets a car!!!

After winning the zebra race on April 18th, Dad asked Miranda if she wanted to drive home in her new car. She was so happy. She was all over the car, hugging it and sitting in it.

Charleston

We had so much fun! Whether they were shopping, laughing, or just hanging out.
