makin' memories with the mccune's
Our lives are currently being lived in Dallas Texas. We are here for Mark to soak up the teaching of Dallas Theological Seminary. God is showing us more and more of His glory and blessings as our family shows Him more and more faith. We are waiting on His guidance to light our next path following life here in Dallas. As we share our memories we hope you find joy, laughter and encouragment....

The Starlets 1st season came to a close at the end of May. They had a rough 1st season being the youngest most inexperienced group in the league.
A memorable moment in their very 1st game of the season came right after the kickoff all the parents started yelling encouraging words and cheering for the Starlets. The problem was all of us parents never yelled like that in practice before so it really scared the girls to hear every Mom & Dad yelling as loud as they could. A couple of the girls (Izzy included) started crying and lost their desire to play. It occurred to me later usually when Mom and Dads are yelling it's a bad thing needless to say they were gun shy the whole 1st half. What a crazy way to start the season.
After half time they figured it out but I will never forget that 1st kick off and how the girls all kept looking at the parents as if to say stop yelling I'm trying to play!!!!
The team celebrated the successful end of their season with a pizza party at Double Dave's Pizza. Buffet pizza and games.
They all received trophy's and everyone left stuffed!!!

We are still behind for posting this years events and photos. So these photos pick up from the last event of May this year with Kaitlin going to her 8th grade Dance. It was her 1st formal dance and all her friends were excited.
Kaitlin's cousin Lauren was flying to Thailand on her way to a mission trip for six weeks. She landed just an hour before the dance. She was more than happy to help Kaitlin get ready for the Big Night!!!
With Izzy looking on Kaitlin had a great time being the center of attention trying to make everything just right for her 1st formal dance.
The bracelets that Kaitlin is wearing were a special gift from Lauren that she brought with her to give Kaitlin on her special night. (You are super cool Lauren!)
The final Product was "our little girl is all grown up". Michele volunteered as a chaperone so she was dressed up to go to the dance.
Katy (on the left) Kaitlin and Shelly. These are the girls who live on the street.
Michele drove to the dance separately and Kaitlin rode with her gal-pals from school to the dance driven by one of their moms in a much cooler car than the McCune mini-van.
They all had a ball dancing and being wild 8th graders!!!
