Rest of Our 2007 Memories

July

My sister and her family came to visit for a week. We had a great time and were so sad to see them leave. The girls all had a great time hanging out. We went swimming, bowling, played laser tag, went to Six Flags Amusement Park, shopping and to the movies.

Tiffani, Britany, Breanne and Courtney

Ashley and Brielle

Kylie and Brandi

I love you sis. I can't wait to see you this summer.

Swimming

Bowling

Hanging out and watching a movie, and playing PS3 .

Six Flags what a day. Around 2:00 it started to rain and we had to leave because they closed all the rides. The Turpins got to see a Texas rainstorm.

Fourth of July we went to our ward's breakfast and then went swimming. Later that day we had a BBQ and that night watched fireworks.

We had such a fun time and wish they could have spent another week with us.

Swimming Parties

Reading the final Harry Potter Book.

Hanging out with the Waldron Family.

We love going over to our friends pool to swim, ride horses and drive the gator. We love hanging out in their peaceful corner of the world. They live about 20 minutes away from us on a ranch.

Tiffani Driving without a learners permit we are in so much trouble.

Our flower garden frog. This has been one of the top 5 wettest summer's in Texas and we seem to have a lot of frogs around.

August

August the time for change. As we get ready to start the new school year our ward is split and Tiffani loses all of her friends to the other ward. She is trying to make the best of this. Tiffani is a sophomore in HS this year. She did make the JV tennis team. Courtney is the the 7th grade and tried out for the middle school tennis team and made the B team. Ashley is in the fourth grade and decided to run for student council which we were all shocked since she is so quiet at school. She is on the student council and is glad she ran. She was also just moved to the more advance group in her gymnastics class. Kylie begins her 2nd year in school (1st grade) and is very excited. She really wanted to take an after school program that teaches Spanish and she thinks it is okay now but doesn't want to contiue on after this class is done. She loves playing tennis on Wednesdays after school with her friend Hope. I started my 2nd year with college classes hopefully one more to go and I can apply for the Hygiene Program. Mike is still working with AMI (well that is until April or May then we don't know what will happen) Life is always full of change. Can't wait to see our year in review for 2008.

Well that it is for the Chambers 2007 year in review. Thanks for looking at our family memories.

Highlights of the Year 2007

Here are some highlights of 2007 that we wanted to share since we started our blog close to the end of the year. Here is a trip down memory lane of 2007 for the Chambers Family:

January

New Years Day tradition Bowling & Chinese Food (Mike waiting his turn).

Mike took the Elder Quorum challenge and relearned the Articles of Faith and those that did a chief in our ward made them a cake. Here is the one Mike got.Yum! We also worked on this as a family.

It does snow in Texas, January 16, 2007.

Grandma and Grandpa Chambers came to visit in January we had a nice visit with them even though it was cold and raining most of the time and we weren't able to do much. Here is Grandma fixing hair.

February

Kylie and Mike celebrated birthdays this month.

March

Tiffani, Courtney and Lisa celebrate their birthdays this month. Courtney is now a part of Young Womens and is very excited. Courtney had piano festival and did an awesome job.

April
Ashley had her birthday this month.

The Stake Trek

Our stake did a trek for all of the kids 14 and up. They had a great time and though this was in April it was very cold and the kids had it snow on them. The leaders said the kids did great and there was hardly any complaining. These are all kids in our ward. I drove the kids up to their destination on the way I got a little lost and almost made it to the Texas and Oklahoma border. Mike was a part of the mob that went up on the first night to make the trek move.

Coloring Easter Eggs.

Ashley's class went on a Field Trip to The Texas Rangers Stadium. Mike went on this field trip with her and they had a good time.

May

May 2nd Tiffani, Courtney and Lisa go with friends to see Wicked. It was awesome!!!

Lisa finishes up with her first year of going back to school. Yea!!

All the kids finish the school year on May 24.

Grandma and Grandpa Christensen come to visit and we have a great time took them to the Botanical Gardens very pretty. We only got a little rained on. We can't wait for them to come and visit again. We love having them here. It has been a very wet year in Texas. The rain is very needed as we have been in a drought for the last two years.

Mike goes to Utah for a Business Mtg. Does this look like a meeting to you? After the meeting Mike was able to go and visit family and all the guys went shooting. We miss you guys.
