Busy Bee's!

We have been busy bee's here in the Hawkins Casa! Here is a look at what we have been up to!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEREMIAH!

Tana (Brandon's sis) threw a surprise 30th birthday party for her hubby Jeremiah! He was super surprised and we all had a blast! Not even golf ball sized hail or psycho neighbors who wouldn't let the band play could ruin our fun!

The cake topper


Nana's firefighter cake...it was yummy!

These were falling from the sky!

CAMDEN IS HERE!


Camden Nathaniel came into the world on May 3rd! He was stubborn and would not turn in his momma's belly so he came via c-section! Mom, Dad, & munchcan are all healthy and doing great! Here were his stats:

Weight: 6 lbs, 7 oz

Length: 18 3/4 inches

Welcome to the world Camden! Your parents are so excited to have you here!





MARCH OF DIMES


The March of Dimes walk was a huge success! We raised almost $1900 between Rach, Tana, & myself! We pretty much rock! Tons of people turned out for the walk although the weather was kind of icky! After the walk we all headed to Murray's to grab some grub! Thanks to all my friends & family for your support! We couldn't have done it without you!


Some rockin' team leaders!

JUSTIN & OLIVIA

Bran's little bro Justin and his girlfriend Olivia came into town to spend the weekend with the fam! This was our first time to all meet Olivia and we all just loved her! I think she probably left thinking we were a little crazy! We all had dinner and sat around the piano while everyone played! Her and Justin are music majors at Tarleton State and I have to say they make beautiful music together! We even got to hear Nana, Bran, and Tana play a few tunes!


The happy couple!

Tana & Bran jammin'!


Go Nana Go!


BRANDON GRADUATED!!

Well he finally did it! After years of set backs, bumps in the road, putting me before himself Brandon graduated with a major in Biology and minor in Chemistry! I am sooooo proud of him and his accomplishments! I threw a surprise dinner for him at Murrays and we had tons of people show up! They all know how hard he has worked to get to where is he today and are all so proud of him! After Murrays we all headed over to The Hemmingway for a few cigars and some yummy wine! Now, you would think he would stop and let it all soak in, but noooo.....he is already busy with grad school! Silly boy! Congrats! I love you!


Yeah Brando!

GUANO HAPPENS!


It has been forever and a decade since we have been to Carlsbad Caverns , so we all decided to take a little family trip to go check them out! They are so much cooler than I remember! We all had a blast! This was Beeler's first time at the Caverns so it made the trip extra fun! After traveling through the caverns we had some extra time before the bat flight so we decided to head down to Sitting Bull Falls to check it out! It was beautiful! (Even in the rain!) I think I got a concussion from a tree branch (stupid tree) but we had fun being adventurous in the rain! We did not get the see the bats fly out of the cave that night...the bats decided it was too chilly and rainy! But me and my sister started a new club...The Bitty Bat Club! You pretty much have to be really cool to get in this club! We now have super powers..... :o)



Yeah! My people live here! :o)

Bitty Bat Club (BBC) Founders!
