Another Lost Tooth

Kendra lost her top tooth last Friday. Here she is showing off her new smile.

Our Friday

We went with Renee, Maycee, and Ashton to see a friend and her new baby boy. I made a cookie bouquet to take. It was fun to do, and fun to go visit. I made a baseball for Collin with the extra cookie, and he enjoyed eating it. He said it was "WAY COOL".

Later in the day we went to the country, and the kids rode in the combine. Here they are waiting anxiously.

Then they got to ride the tractor with Papa. It was a fun day!

4th of July

We went to Imperial on the 3rd to see the fireworks. Collin wasn't too sure about the noisy ones. He spent most of the time under his blanket. The boys settled in on Grandma's lap to watch.

We went to Marty and Renee's house on the 4th. It was a great time with friends, food and fireworks! Kendra and I made cookies together. We had fun decorating them.

We had one special one that Collin had picked out. We had to light that one at home the next night. He loved the toot toot, and smoke!

The kids watching.

New Pictures

I went out to Renee Wheeler Photography yesterday, and here are a few pictures she took for me. Love them! Happy 4th of July!

Our Weekend

We had a really full weekend at our house. Saturday we had a garage sale at our house with Marty and Renee. The kids sold cookies, muffins, treats, and lemonade. Kendra said she feels rich! Then they went swimming together to cool off that afternoon.

Saturday evening, Mike's sister, Becky, and her 2 kids came for a visit from Colorado. They stayed until Monday morning, so we got together as much as possible during that time. All of the cousins came up and went swimming in the pool. It was so much fun! I was in the pool also, so I didn't get any pictures. Here they all are together.

Father's Day

We went to the lake on Father's Day, and then to Mike's parent's house for supper. It was a really fun day, and I am thankful for the fathers that I have in my life!

We got this new "racing boat" to pull behind the boat. It is perfect for little kids. They loved it!

Papa Ron had just as much fun watching the kids as they had riding it I think.

Grandma Joyce passing out drinks.

We had lots of fun playing with Toria that evening!

Vacation

We went to the zoo in Omaha last week for a little family vacation. It rained, but we still had a lot of fun. We went shopping, and my kids were very excited by the escalators....you can tell we don't get to the "big city" very often! :)I took tons of pictures, and it was hard to choose which ones to put on here.

We went swimming at the motel pool.

Kendra had to model her new sunglasses.

The aquarium at the zoo was one of our favorites...the kids had lots of fun watching the penguins.

This one is kind of hard to see, but they were watching the penguin through a plastic bubble. It got all fogged over.

A Train Ride!

Our attempt at a family picture.

The petting zoo.

And, on the way home Kendra got her ears pierced. She was very excited!
