Fun in the Sun with ALL my guys!

Well, we finally had the opportunity to have a NORMAL family weekend. It was wonderful not having to schedule all of our activities around baseball games, baseball practices or coaches meetings. My awesome boss Suzanne, invited us to spend the afternoon at her pool! The boys, as well as Dale and myself, loved it! Thank you Suzanne!

Bubba relaxing in the pool. I can't believe that in a few days he will begin his SENIOR YEAR!

Clete playing in the pool. He had a great time and by the end of the afternoon was jumping off the diving board!



Daddy and Jackson hanging out under the diving board. Jackson tried really hard to get Dale to jump off the diving board. Finally he DID! Too bad I didn't have the camera ready!



Jackson doing flips off the diving board. He is definitely the most limber of the 3!

Our boys! Trying to figure out what trick to do next!

Britt coming down the slide. Clete wouldn't go down it unless Bubba went too!

Clete making a SPLASH coming down the slide!

I am so glad to have days like this with my family! It is days like these that make the best memories! I LOVE you guys! YOU are what make MY life worth it!

Pokin' Right Along!!!

Well, baseball season for the Opelika Dixie Boys 13 year old all stars is over. These boys represented Opelika in the state tournament and did an excellent job. Dale you are a wonderful coach, both on the field and off! This group of young men have no reason to hang their heads! Hold your heads high and be PROUD of your accomplishment.

On the home front:

Dale is back home with us for the rest of the summer!!! YAY!!!! He loves baseball so much, but we are so glad to have him back with us now!

MiMi is on "sabbatical" for the next couple of weeks, she is visiting my brother Peter and his wife Joan in Cullman. Momma hasn't been feeling very well since she had the fall that almost broke her nose. She suffers from high blood pressure and has had a hard time getting it back under control since the accident.

Since MiMi is away, Clete has been staying with his cousins, Tiffany and Taylor during the day while I work. They have done an excellent job with him and he has had a blast with them. They take him swimming at the Sportsplex and go to the parks to play! He has also had a great time hanging out with Uncle Jeff when he gets home. Clete loves it when Uncle Jeff gives him bag of chips off the potato chip truck!

Recently, I was asked to fill in for a friend at PC Dr. in Opelika while her daughter had the District swim meet. After a week this "fill-in" turned into a permanent position!!! I am absolutely loving my new job and the chick I work for! Not only am I learning all about how to "fix" computers but, we have a pretty good time in between! Oh, by the way, the friend that I was filling in for is Leah and McCall placed in several of the events she competed in at the swim meet, she is on her way to State!!! Way to go Princess Sassy Pants!!! We love you and are so proud!

So here we are pokin' right along in this unbearable heat!!! Life is great! Hope everybody is having as great a summer as the Cook family! Love to all!

All Star Update!!

Congratulations Opelika Dixie Boys 13 yr All Stars District 5 Champs!!!

Dale and the boys are headed to Scottsboro to play for the State Championship! Congratulations Dale, you have done a great job coaching these boys! We love you and can't wait to see you guys win the State Title!!
