Our Second 4th of July!

Derrick's mom had been in California since May,

her and her husband got home on July 6. So we

went over to their house to see them. They 

bought lots of fireworks, and had lots of things 

from Dennis's (Teresa's husband) job site. It was

like Christmas and the 4th of July! It 

was our Christmas in July! =)

She is growing up! She's losing all of 

her baby look!

Stylin'! =) 

She had climbed up on the box to sit down, and she fell

right in. She wasn't very happy with me for 

taking a picture.

She was having fun climbing the tree!

Oddessey was pretty upset with us that we wouldn't

let her stay in the tree.

Sparkler time! The kids loved them!

It looks like Derrick needs to lose a few pounds! ;)

Here's some of the fireworks!

It was such a fun night! Thanks Dennis and Teresa!

Just Me and My Kids!

My kids were supposed to be having a play date, but their

friend got sick. I had got them all ready and everything,

when I found out. My kids were pretty bummed, so I decided

we would go do something fun. I said a list of things, 

and they chose to go feed the ducks. We bought some 

bread, then grabbed some lunch. Then we headed 

over to Springlake. (which is actually a pond) =) 

I had a lot of fun with my kids! Although, they made

 me pretty nervous throwing the bread into the water,

 I kept telling them to scoot back. Usually I have

 someone there to help keep an eye on them! 

Eating their lunch.

Now on to feeding the ducks!

Lowynn's got quite the arm and aim! =)

Tried to get a decent picture. We all look lovely! ;)

My silly kids! They are so much like their daddy! =)

I cannot say how thankful I am to be the mother of

these amazing kids! I love them with all my heart! They

can be a handful at times, but they are so worth 

everything! I love spending time with them, and making

fun memories. Ones that I hope they will cherish! 

I love my kids!

The Fourth of July!

We had a fun fourth! We invited Derrick's siblings

over, and had a barbecue, played games, and 

watched fireworks. It was a lot of fun! 

Lowynn wanted to play so bad. So whenever we would

let him, he was so happy!

Oddessey and Paytin were dancing around. It was so cute!

Oddessey was pretending like the racket was a guitar. =)

The silly kids!

The boys!

The girls!

Oh, how I love them!

The kids eating some yummy dessert that Karree made!

A big thanks to everyone who came! It was so much fun

playing games and visiting, and the food was yummy!

I also want to say thank you to all of our soldiers who

keep this country safe and free! I am so thankful for

them! Happy independence day!

The Rookie

Here's the movie we made, like a month ago. 

Oh boy, are we crazy! Enjoy! =)
