Happy Fourth of July!!!

 

 

 

I love fireworks! McKayleigh hung in there, but is getting better with them, and Ayden was dancing around the whole time. (He also had some glow necklaces, so he would un-circle them and use them as long swords all night- thus, being extremely happy!) We had a great weekend, great memories, and we love our little town!

Fireworks Anticipation!

 

 

 

 

Some more of us goofing off waiting for the fireworks. The kids became "Junior Officers" by our neighbor, which Ayden thought was pretty cool! (I also was playing around with the night vision on the camera... I won't be using it sans tripod and moving kids again...)

4th of July Fun!

 

 

 

 

The tots playing on a nearby playground waiting for the fireworks to begin. We walked downtown and had a pizza, mingled a bit, then waited for the fireworks. (We killed a little time walking back home and playing some wii!)

Buy Me Some Peanuts and Cracker Jacks...

 

 

 

 

The end of the Forest City Owls game we attended last night. The fireworks were beautiful, the game was exciting, and the kids had a blast! Go Owls!

Let's Go Owls, Let's Go!

 

 

 

 

More shots of the fun night out at the Owls game.

Go Owls!

 

 

 

 

We went to the Forest City Owls baseball game last night to cheer on our team and to catch the fireworks after. It was a beautiful night, the hot dogs, popcorn, ice cream, and Cracker Jacks were delicious, and the kids really had a good time. We found lots of members of our church, and so our group quickly expanded!

My Kids are Driving!

 

 

 

 

They have already begun driving at the ages of 3 and 6! They took the boat around the lake last weekend and didn't want to leave!

My Little Shipmates

 

 

 

 

Some more shots of the tots at the lake. They were in Heaven!

A Day at the Lake

 

 

 

 

We took the kids along on a Youth trip with our church to our Priest's lake house on Lake Tahoma. They loved it and can't wait to go back! Here's some shots of Ayden driving a boat (he kept saying he was the Captain!), McKayleigh swimming in the lake, and Ayden spending time in the only water he could with his cast! (We just had a waterproof one put on this week!)

VBS 2008

 

 

Two shots of the kids at Vacation Bible School this year- Ayden with a cape on and McKayleigh doing yoga with her class. It was a great week and I am so happy to have been able to have participated in it for the second year! (I took on the Preschoolers again this year- and we all had a blast!)

More Lazy Days

 

 

 

 

Some more pictures of the kids on their pirate pool. These are older shots, where Ayden still has his old cast on. He now has a good light blue Gortex waterproof cast- and he LOVES it! (I think we love it more than he does, due to the ease of both cleaning and knowing he can't injure it again!) More to come, as usual!
