Birthday, Mini Color Guard, & Swimming......that's what we have done in July so far...

Happy 35th Birthday to my sweet huspand! It really sucks when you get old and you have to work on your birthday, huh? Well, when he got home from work, we took him to Texas Roadhouse to eat dinner. That is our new favorite place to eat.

The kids were excited to give him his presents. We bought him some cool plaid shorts and shirts to go with it.
The girls helped me make him a cake. It had blue frosting with blue sprinkles, his favorite color.

Austin had his first overnight scout camp. He was so excited!! There are only 3 11 year old scouts, and they are his 2 best friends, so how fun is that! He actually is really enjoying scouts. I bought him his shirt the day before camp and hand sewed the patches on, I was very proud of myself. I hot glued all his cub scout ones on.


I held my 2nd annual Mini Color Guard Camp this week with my high school team. We had 92 little girls come to the camp. Ranging from ages 3 to 13, we were well covered! It was a great fundraiser for us. Thanks to all those that helped and supported us. It was a sucess!

Here is my little Brin, future color guard girl!

Taylee, making sure she is doing the right hand placements!

My two cute Mini Color Guard Girls!

Today, I decided to take my kidos swimming at the Brigham Pool. We have been hiding in the 100 degee heat the past few days and we were sick of staying indoors, so we headed out.

It was so much fun. We had nothing planned for the day, so it was nice to just relax and keep cool.

My kids love to swim, I had fun watching them play with each other.

Taylee got stung by a bee in her hair, so we were sad for awhile. I tryed to make her smile by doing kissy faces, but she still does not look happy.

Austin and his goggles, he wont swim without them, silly kid!

Taylee stole them and Austin chased her down!

I love these kidos with all my heart! We had a fun summer day today! Thanks to the Tomlison family, our neighbors, for swimming with us!

Ouch. Bee stings hurt. I knew they hurt as a kid, but I got stung on the wrist last fall an man did it hurt. Taylee's a tooper. Looks like you're having a fun summer. We've been hanging in the 70's here in Indiana. Too cold for swimming. Way to go on the color guard camp! Miss ya.

Happy Birthday Chris! Poor Taylee she looks awfully sad in that picture. Just last year I was stung by a bee for the first time and I had no idea how bad it hurt....

Happy Birthday Chris. Bee stings are the worst. It kills. I want to go the Brigham pool I have never been.

Greetings from Wyoming! Thanks for keeping us up to date on your family happenings. Swimming sure sounds like the way to beat the heat! We are enjoying cooler weather here.............waiting for the baby to come. We had a nice BD party for Reagan today. Fond memories with a little heartache. Hope to see you soon.
