Happy 4th of July !!

This is the first year in a LONG TIME that I've had family here for the 4th of July!

We had everyone but Lanny and Kim.

We MISSED YOU!

Zoe and Cash!

Jaxen Boy!

Mayli & Tori! Rootin' Tootin' Cowgirls!
and......the rootin' tootin' cowboy!

Cash is such a happy little guy!

Mayli was the "Parade Queen"

She provided a stuffed animal parade, complete with candy throwing!
No, she's not a ham. Really.

Sweet Cath. She was pretty brave through all of the chaos!

Take note of the stylin' boot!

Jen & Ed.

They brought sparklers, which made them even more popular than they already are

with the nieces and nephews!

The grandkids.

Need I say more?

No, Jessica is not flipping us off.

Which sparkles more?

The sparklers........... or the smiles??

A little blurry - but still cute mama!!

Grandpa Barry's dutch oven gloves sure came in handy!

Tori was a little nervous! Jen too!

Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun.............. Please shine down on me!!

Our good friends, David and Shawn Wheeler

joined in the celebration!!

Such a wonderful day! It was so fun to have most of the kids here!

Summer Time......and the livin' is Easy!

Looking for modest swim wear!

Ask if you dare!

Zoe Jane...........just chillin'

Beautiful little mama!

Got dirt?

Cash man livin' the good life!

Grammie Lori lovin' on the grandkids!

(And.......Yes. This is the best picture I got!)

I think Tori's playing monkey. ;-)

Jen, I got Buffy in the picture!!

I love Angel too - I'll have to see if your dad can photo shop him in!!

Another beautiful mama!

We all couldn't get enough of Zoe!

The pool. The kids LOVE my pool!

It's amazing - you'd think it was custom built!

Beautiful Aunt Catherine!

Easter 2010

We had a very simple Easter this year!

Megan, Ivan, Jaxen, Ivan's little brother Nick, Catherine, Barry and I. It was a beautiful day! We ate, hunted eggs (money filled - made the competition a little funner!) and did a relay with colored eggs.

I'm so thankful for my sweet little family.

Jaxen, grandpa Barry and the pup pup!

(sniff sniff - we miss our pup pups.)

Lots of fun was had by all!

Happy Easter!
