My super-hot husband at Fort Jackson. Gotta love a man in uniform.
Chris is the guy on the right on the top of the middle wall, helping the othersoldier over the wall.
Chris is the bald guy on the bottom level of the tower thing.

This was Kyra’s last field trip of the year. We went to Frozen Head State Park and had hot dogs and hamburgers. Everyone had a lot of fun.
Elijah played in the creek with our cousin, Punky.
With Brooke’s help, Owen played in the creek, too.
Elijah climbed a tree. (With a little help from Daddy, of course!)
He’s a cute little monkey, isn’t he?
Not only am I that short, but I was standing on a small stump, too. He’s a foot taller than me. 
Here is Kyra standing with all of the students while they sang and quoted Scripture.
Kyra right after she received her diploma.
The whole family.
Proud Mama! (I know this one’s blurry, but I really wanted to post one of me and her.)
Kyra was very proud of her trophies. She got one for attendance, one for Scripture memorization, one for completing the targeted number of Paces, and a medal for being voted “Friendliest”.
Kyra helped bake Daddy’s birthday cake.
Kyra licked the bowl.
Then, she really licked the bowl!
Daddy was more enthusiastic about his cake before I got the camera out.
They look like they know how to play, don’t they? Appearances can be deceiving.
Owen with his great-aunt, Angie. He was trying to take his hat off.
Kyra rode the flying elephants with Angie. They were having a ball!
This is the look Elijah gave Chris when he tried to take a picture of Elijah and Mamaw Velvet on the elephants.
He got a little more excited about playing in the water!
Silly Kyra! She liked playing in the water, too!
Owen didn’t get to ride much more than the stroller. He did get to ride the carousel, but I was holding him on the horse and didn’t get to take a picture.
Elijah drove Mamaw Velvet off into the sunset. (Don’t worry. He brought her back in one piece.)
Kyra took Angie for a spin!
And, finally, we have the obligatory “hold the camera out to take your own picture” shot to prove that Chris and I were actually there. He wasn’t cooperating and I had no make up on. I had also been wet at one point. So, it’s not a great picture. But I was there! I have the picture to prove it.
