And so it begins...

Band Camp officially started today for the whole band. Yes, we have had percussion and freshman in for two days already, but the whole group started today! We are really excited for an awesome band year! Please be in prayer for our students and Patrick (the band director) for the year.

I wish I had a before picture to show you of this area. Just believe me when I say it looks a lot better. We will eventually add plants to this area.

My precious niece and her early birthday present from us. She couldn't wait to get on her elephant shirt. Our nephew also received a shirt from the college world series but I couldn't get him in a picture because he was running around.

The kiddos hanging out with their Uncle Patrick.

The newest cousin added to the family.

Patrick bought kid friendly fireworks (fancy poppers). Here is the grand finale. My sister was saying throw on Go. She said on your mark, get set, go, and my niece ran. lol!
