So busy lately

Ever since the 4th of July it seems to have been a packed weekend and
week. We went over to Joe's parents and played some volleyball and
lit off the rest of the fireworks they had. The weather was so perfect.

Joe's taking some good shots! This looks like I might have actually
passed this one good. Although, we played boys against girls and got beat quite a few times, we need more practice!

Joe threw his back out over the weekend so he took the kids for a ride.

We had some friends in town so the next night we went to dinner

at Sakura. Is that how you spell it? We've never been there, but it

was a fun experience. It was July 7th, Rachelle's birthday!

I love the faces Mark keeps pulling! This is Devon and Jesse on

the right they were visiting from California we had so much fun

while they were here. We miss you already!

It's been some long nights for all of us, can you tell? I didn't know

Joe took this picture, but he thought it was cute since we're both

sleeping the same way. (well, I don't know about cute!) I had to

sneak to Joe's side of the bed after he woke up because Macy is a

bed hog! ..........don't look too close, not pretty.

I've been getting ready to go camping all week, but finally got a chance

to sneak away today for a bit to go play at my friend Kerstin's house.

I had a friend from High School come over to visit so she came with me.

Isn't her yard awesome? It's huge and she has some fun things for the kids

to do.

Macy is having fun

at the pool and Brady

is parked by the crackers

eating away!

The kids had so much fun. Thanks Ylonda for coming for a

visit and giving me a break from packing!

Then tonight we went down to the Falls and had a picnic.

Nice dinner, huh?

Some really cute pictures of the kids. What cute cousins!

Hugs

Even brother and sister love each other.

Fun night. They wanted to go on walks everywhere. They

aren't used to being on the road so they wanted to explore. Too

cute, all of them holding hands.
