Birthday Girl Part II

Instead of doing a big birthday party this year Paige and I decided to do something on a smaller scale! She picked 2 friends, and we were off to have a little girl time!

Every great party should begin with happy hour! I picked the girls up from school, dumped the boys at home (no boys allowed!), and we were off to Sonic!

After sonic we went to have their nails done! The color picking took a little time!

They weren't very patient at the drying station!


The finished product.

After nails we went back to the house to hang and play! Lindsey gave Paige this cool bag that you can color. They went right to work on it! Paige now carries her bible in it!


We finished the afternoon with dinner at McDonald's! We did let the boys join us for dinner!
Thanks Abi and Lindsey for helping make Paige's 6th birthday really fun!

football?!

Most kids sleep with a soft stuffed animal.....not Collin! This is what I found him sleeping with on Monday night when I went to check on him!

High Flyin' Fun

The weather has been really crazy lately! The Curry's found something that all this wind is really good for!

Yeaterday we spent some time flying kites. It took a little while to get the hang of things, but then they were off!

Date Night!

One of my favorite things that Gary Don does with Paige is when he takes her on a date! She loves her Daddy dates! I think these dates will help her when she is older and dating! He is setting the bar high for any future suitors!
Last night she requested that they dress up for their date! She wanted him to wear a suit! He told her he would wear a tie, and let her pick it out!

They started the evening with dinner at Chili's.

And ended the night at Marketplace for dessert!

Paige LOVES a chocolate mess!!!!!



I think they had a really great time!

Tonight is my turn!!!

The Hunt

Last night Gary Don and Austin got to try a new kind of hunting. They went coon hunting with the Meeker boys! The crew that went were, Gary Don, Austin, Ronnie Deal, Terral Meeker, Ralph Meeker, and Aaron Meeker.

They met at Ronnie's house around 7 p.m. and headed to the Jack creek area.

It was not a very successful night of coon hunting. They returned home around midnight, without any coons! Austin and Gary Don hope to be invited to go again.

4-H

Three years ago Austin was introduced to 4-H by our friends the Russell's. We are members

of the shooting sports club. They meet once a month and usually shoot different types of guns, anything from .22s to muzzle loaders. Last summer Austin attended 2 different camps thru 4-h and had a great time.

As a member if you participate in three different county activities during the year the county will pay for half of the cost of any camp. Last year Austin performed at the performing arts night, he played the piano, he also participated in a BBQ chicken cooking contest, that he placed 2nd in and got to go to Fayettville to compete in the state competition. The last thing he did was a county-o-rama, where they compete in different games and tests, like bb shooting, reel casting, fish identification. All of that to say those are the three things he will participate in again this year.

Thursday night was the performing arts night. This year Austin performed with his friend Kyle. They played a duet. Austin on the piano, and Kyle on the guitar.
Here they are practicing at our house the day before.

They did a really great job!

They received a red ribbon for their efforts!
