Friends and Fun



 Caden and Sophie - we love this dog!
Allyson and Danika - they love to play together - but only see each other when we get together with Doni's family.

Good friends

4th of July


We had a fun weekend.  We had some friends over on Sunday evening to grill.  
We won a party pack from Budweiser - so we were able to share some goodies with the guests.

After dark, we had a great fireworks show put on by the guys.
So fun!

Paradise


While shopping in Menards, we walked past the outdoor living area.  Caden saw the gazebo and rockers, and said "Mom, can you take a picture of me in that paradise?"  Of course I would.  :)

Goodbye old Friend


We traded in our van @ the end of June.  It was sad to part with it, but when your mechanic husband decides it is time to go, well, what can I say.  

Makes me Smile


This makes me smile.  Allyson is such a little artist.  

New Kittens


We got a mamma cat and her 6 babies.  The kids love them!  They have been earning their keep by catching mice and being cute!
 Mamma's name is Stripes, and the kids keep changing the babies names.
The kids are convinced that the girls are the ones with white on them and the boys are the ones with just gray.

Tooth Fairy Visit


Allyson has lost her first tooth.  


Order's Up


Allyson loves to play with her kitchen set and take orders.  

 Here she is writing what is on the menu.

Parade


We love going to parades.  The kids like getting candy, seeing friends, and seeing the floats.  We were there a little early to get our seats.  The kids were playing "freeze tag" and Caden got hurt.  

 The battle wounds.  It must have hurt pretty bad because the first half of the parade, he didn't even get up to get candy, just sat there and watched.  He has a great sister that was willing to share her goods.


Smore's


We love to roast marshmallows and hotdogs on warm summer nights.
