4th of July

We spent the 4th out at Grandpa and Grandma's house. We had a great time with most of the Aunts and Uncles and lots of cousins. We missed Aunt C, Uncle T, C, M and K. We enjoyed playing croquet, cards, eating great food, visiting with extending relatives, homemade ice cream, fireworks, swimming, loving on Baby S, and playing in the park!
The weather made for an even better holiday weekend!

Watch out...a very competitive game of croquet. Who won???

B hanging out with Cousin S! You'll make a great babysitter one day! What a smile :)

K being Grandpa's helper...or could she be waiting to try the ice cream first?!?!? Humm...

Trying to figure this all out!

Starting a blog....can't possibly be as hard as I am making it out to be! I thought that this would be a great way to keep in contact with our family and friends. But it is proving to be a bit more of a challenge for the me! Yughhh!!! Anyhow, I hope to eventually post some photos here too along with occasional updates of our family.

Kariana starts Kindergarten in 17 days! She is so excited and already has her backpack packed and ready to go!! She is also going to start soccer the beginning of August. She likes to practice in the yard with Dad.

Bronalea does a pretty good job at keeping up with Kariana. She is fully potty-trained during the day, we'll still working on staying dry at night. She is taking a lot and loves to play Elmo games on the computer. She is getting quite good at using the mouse too.

As for the parents, we are working....at Edward Jones and an Optometry office and also keep busy working on our new house. We all love it!
