Chicas
Here in Texarkana, we have met some wonderful, awesome, incredible people. Among these include the darling Young Women in our Ward at church. I have been a leader for a while now and I realized the other day randomly how much these sweet girls mean to me. They are great examples and are just good girls through and through. We have had some fun times together each Sunday and Wednesday. 
We had a big "P" Party Sleepover as soon as summer arrived. We worked on "Personal Progress" and did pedicures. We also wore pink, purple, polka dots, pajamas, plaid or anything else we could think of starting with P. We ate pizza, pop, parfaits, and popcorn. It was a darn good time!!!
A couple of weeks ago, we had a weekend of fun for Youth Conference in Louisiana. This is a pic of some girls in the stake. It's always fun when the girls from our area can meet new friends and just hang out!!!
What cute chicas!!!!!!

We love the FAMILY VISITS!!!
Our dear family drove all the way from West Texas to see us on the East side!!! We had a fabulous time with them. The little man, Parker, loved searching for golf balls the most. I think he went on a few walks every day to search for them. He ended up with over 20!!!!! Since he found the most, he was the big winner and received a popsicle as the prize.
On Saturday, the males did their male thing and went golfing while the females enjoyed a shopping trip to the mall. We also went swimming (well, almost). The water was a little cold so the macho men got in while the ladies lounged around outside of the cold water. We tried Big Jakes for the first time for dinner. Texas BBQ...mmm...mmmm.
Our visitors also enjoyed church on Sunday with the big pot luck dinner following. We played Cash Flow late Friday and Sunday nights as well. This is a pic of the morning breakfast after the late night..... looks like the sweet little baby is the only one who is wide-eyed and ready for the day :)
THANK YOU TEWS FOR COMING TO VISIT!!!!!
WE HAD A GREAT TIME WITH YOU!!!

Mark has been playing in softball tournaments the past couple of Saturdays. I think he may have forgotten how much he loves to play! He has really been enjoying it! I haven't taken any good pictures of him yet. The past two Saturdays, the tournaments have been canceled in the afternoon due to tornado warnings and fierce rain storms. The weather has been crazy lately! However, he did manage to crank a homer!!! YAY!

I would say typically, I'm pretty good with the little ones but this little girly LOVE LOVE LOVES Mark. I tried to lull her with toys or even food but she wouldn't have it. They hung out pretty much the whole time. She wanted Mark to hold her more than anyone the whole vacation. He is HANDS DOWN her favorite uncle! It was pretty dang cute!!!
We went on the STEEL EEL rollercoaster at Sea World 5 times. (3 times in a row I think). My head was spinning a bit but it was worth it. The rollercoaster has a lot of huge drops....we were lucky no one threw up with how much we ate durring the vacation!
WE HAD A BALL WITH THE FAM!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD MEMORIES. Mark and I are in charge of planning next year...CMMV (Cole Making Memories 5). Time will tell where the destination will be.
