Fourth of July in Round Valley 2008

At the parade, we enjoyed Sonic drinks, sitting on the sidewalk with cousins and friends, caught frisbees and candy, watched floats, camels, a big longhorn, George Washington, and even helicopters!! We went to eat BBQ with Mac's fam, finally got to take a big nap, then the kids enjoyed popcorn & watching traffic in the evening.

we had a chick hatch after a long and laborious effort from our little red hen

back yard fun

After our yard sale the cousins got to eat and play together.

Cage Fight...

Mac, JP,& I went to the MMA fights in RV last week. It started late & the announcer was dull, but we had a good time. JP cheered for whoever Mac told him to & we had great seats! Mac has been working out and sparring with Team Devious a little~ so he got a t-shirt, good seats, and his name in the event booklet.

playin catchup...

June flew by! I'm losing my summer!! I am going to try to get my blog updated today. Mac left for the academy on Sunday and will be gone for four months. He will get to come home on weekends, but we still miss him. JP finally got some money from the Tooth Fairy!

More swimming...

JP has come a long way since scooting out to the end and being dropped to the lifegaurd. Oh... Take note- the lifeguard usually catches the kids. Because JP has landed right on top of the lifeguards, they stick the red thing out for him to land on instead ;)

Toothfairy Time

There's one less baby tooth in JP's mouth these days. It took several tooth pulling experts to work it loose, but Grandma Betts finally removed it. I guess we should summon the toothfairy one of these days.
