Happy 4th of July!!!!





The day after the 4th we had a great time just playing around. The kids played in the water, Rob attempted to touch the ground (was pretty close) and cooked hot dogs and smore's. Rylin loved the smores. We also saw how Aunt Jena created a water slide with the kiddie pool. Jason took the kids for a ride in the lawnmower wagon and on the dune buggy. It was a great weekend.

Happy 4th of July!!!






Rob and Jena came for a visit. We took them to Crowley's Ridge for the fourth and had a picnic with a few friends. The kids loved playing on the trails and riding the paddle boats. Rob even got the dune buggy running-miracle of all miracles, well I must give proper credit to Jena who really talked them through the checks to see what wasn't working. It was pretty funny. We also found a new friend "Buckey" on the Wii and enjoyed playing with everyone. Robby and Luke were so cute together and Sarah kept calling Rylin "Baby" as though she is so grown up. We were eaten alive by the mosquito's and well after Jason and Robs synchronized fireworks found a few tips of things not to try with fireworks. Fortunately no one lost a limb, just a few burned hairs and maybe some skinned knees. Over all we had a really great time.

Look who's two...



Sarah is now officially two. She was so cute eating her ice cream. She licked it instead of taking bites. She also had a great time playing with her new toys. Of course it had to be the worst birthday ever (according to Colton and Whitney). We attended a baptism that afternoon and so I sent the kids into the nursery. How awful of me to want to enjoy a convert baptism. Anyhow, I had to remind them that to a two year old, nursery is fun!! Toys, food, stories who could argue? Anyhow they all survived and I got to see half the baptism, the other half was spent trying to keep my kids and a few others from disrupting the service. Oh well, I tried. It was a nice birthday.
