Halie`s Sweet Sixteen

ITS FINALLY HERE HALIES SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY...... And it seems like we have celebrated all week. And since I didnt download the pictures in chronological order so I will have to go backwards.


We took Halie and two carloads of her friends to sixflags on Tuesday, It turned out to be the perfect day. It was overcast with a few rain showers (mostly before we got there) and it was barely in the upper 70`s. We closed the place down and rode more rides than we had ever gotten to ride before because it was so slow that day. The next day I sure felt like I had a sixteen year old. I love to ride the rides but my body is all out of wack after riding that much in one day.


Wednesday we took her to get her license then looked at cars again. Little gas friendly cars are hard to find these days and shes so picky shes willing to wait and get what she wants for the price we will pay, so it may be a long wait for her.
Halie spent the evening with Jordan and his mom, they took her out to eat at PeiWei`s and then brought her home.

Last Friday night we spent the night at Cindy`s and she worked really hard making Halie a special cake for her birthday (Its a flip flop cake) They also gave her $50.00 in pennies to put towards her car , very clever idea. We also had birthday cake at Granny Bell and PaPaws on Fathers Day. And she picked out a small cheesecake to share with her friends when they went to six plags. NO MORE CAKE..........

The weekend that Ryan and Sierra was gone Halie and I snuck off to Los Colinos (sp)

for a girls weekend , we got pampered from head to toe at the hotel spa and ate dinner at the Ghengis Grill then played at Dave and Busters. It was all a suprise to Halie. We had asked her monthes ago if she wanted a big party, an big gift, or put the money toward a car and she picked put the money towards a car (shocked the sh*t out of me) I was proud of her so I spoiled her anyway. We had a really great time it being just the two of us.

HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT BIRTHDAY HALIE WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May 30th - June 19th

Thursday Cindy came up to have her lasik Surgery done. She had the procedure done on Friday and then had a check up Saturday morning. All went well so she headed home that morning with Sierra in tow. Ryan went camping and riding dirt bikes with a friend and Halie and I went to Paris to go to my aunt and uncles 20 th wedding anniversary party. Then Sunday mom and I went to her side of the family reunion. I got to see a lot of people that I never get to see it was great. Everyone headed home on Sunday and we found that our house had been TP`d again. This time I had had enough and called the police and they came out took evidence (I know it sounds funny) and pictures. I also convinced Ryan to put up a camera and outside lights.

This was the girls last week of school. The girls got their final report cards and we were so proud, Sierra had A`s and B`s and Halie not only had A`s and B`s but for the semester had only one B and the rest A`s. We are so proud of them.

Ryan and I spent almost everyday together because we knew when school was out that would be the end of that. Cindy and Glenn came back Thursday for her one week check up. They headed home Saturday and took Sierra with them for the whole week. Ryan took off for a race Saturday and Halie and I had a weekend to ourselves. And Sunday we went to the lake for Harleys birthday party.

Monday Kim and Colton came over to swim and hang out I really enjoyed that cause I dont get to see her very often. Halie has vegged out all week and with Sierra gone I worked with Ryan the rest of the week. Mitch Miranda and Tripp came by one evening and showed us all the vacation pictures and they had a great time.

Sierra drove us crazy all week wanting us to come and get her early so Friday after Ryan got off work we headed to Paris. We met them at the fish fry for a early dinner then spent the night with Cindy and Glenn. We had a big Fathers Day at Granny Bell and Papaws. I got to visit with my two cousin in laws and I always enjoy that. We didnt leave until 8:00 that night so we were pretty happy to get to bed after a long day. Sunday was Fathers Day and we took Ryan out for lunch. We looked around at some car lots getting a idea of a car for Halie. Then came home and jumped in the swimming pool. Monday Halie had a appointment to get her eyes checked, good thing too because she has her dads eyes, she has astigmatism (SP) just like him. So its glass and/or contacts for her. I will try to catch a picture of her wearing her glasses she looks so cute.

Pictures are : My mother and her siblings (with 2 missing), my PaPaw working in his garden, and Colton after he found Sierras bucket of golf balls.
