This and That
 |
| Late night snuggles |
 |
| Swim class wrapped up. Mack graduated from the preschool class to Level 1 ! I think we will have her do the preschool class one more time this summer and maybe start level 1 in the fall. |
 |
| Dinner with Grams and Papa at the horse sale. |
 |
| Grammy sent us a soda maker! It's been a big hit. |
 |
| Big stuff checking himself out in the mirror. See his tippy toes? |
 |
| Mike and I found these "glass" light up slippers for Mack on our date night and meant to put them away for Christmas but Mack was all dressed up in her princess gear and I couldn't resist giving them to her. The only problem is that they were a bit big. Mack had a solution for that problem! |
 |
| Now we're reading Stuart Little to Mack and plan to watch the movies when we're done. |
 |
| Getting some energy out at summer reading program |
Fourth of July extended
The Fourth has always been my dad's favorite holiday. He loves to have people over , serve food that he raised himself and shoot off some fireworks . Life has kept everyone busy but ,when my grandma passed away this January, we all realized that time isn't ours- we don't own it and we can't stop it from passing. But we can make the best of it. Several people expressed to my dad at her memorial that they missed the get togethers he used to host and them memories they provide. All it took was that and my parents have been planning a " like the yester-years" BBQ for months. Finally the day arrived! About 45 family members came and we all had such a fantastic time. Here are pictures of the day ( in no particular order)
 |
| This was my photo-a-day photo for the day. My arms weren't long enough or Chica's not short enough to get all of her. She's such a beautiful horse. |
 |
| Toad tamer! " I kissed him on the lips and stuffed him under the porch!" |
 |
| Sign of a good time |
 |
| God Bless America |
 |
| Great Gramps and Aunt Janis with Azariah, the youngest Great Grand daughter |
 |
| I love the way he looks at her! The horse trough was a bit hit, too! |
 |
| Mason relaxing with cousin John |
 |
| Jump! The kids had so much fun on the trampoline. My cousin Carrie said my parents could charge admission: Food, farm animals, trampoline, fireworks |
 |
| Kaleb catching a break from the fun |
 |
| Yep, a big hit! There were at least five kids on the tramp at all times. |
 |
| Brook and Mack waiting for a ride on Chica. Anaka gave rides or riding lessons ( to the older crowd) for hours! |
 |
| These two had SO much fun together! Myles at no less than three s'mores but I am sure he burned each of them off with one hour of his funny energy. |
 |
| Pretty Magdalena |
 |
| My parents got this tether ball pole for Brooklyn for her birthday! |
 |
| Do it up, Mark! |
 |
| Mason could get used to this! |
 |
| After all the planning, cleaning and cooking, we could have some fun! |
 |
| Opps! Katie shot the photographer! |
 |
| Sweet girl |
 |
| Always a beautiful sunset to usher in the fireworks. |
 |
| Two at a time, Macky! |
 |
| Three of Clay's clan watching horse rides. |
