July Festivities

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I turn 40 on Friday the 13th. How ominous is that??!!

July Festivities

Hello Family and Friends!

The week of the 4th was wonderful. Matthew and I took Bradford and McKenzie camping at Sanford Park, near the Tiber Dam and Lake Elwell. We parked our camper near others and had a small village of friends, kids, good cooking, good company and fun! We floated down the river en masse three times. McKenzie took Matthew's paddle hostage the second time and we hit the bank in some fast water and capsized. Kenzie and Brad were fine ( just a bit frightened), and we were all just wet! After that learning experience, the third float was uneventful...but still fun! Bradford and Kenzie discovered later, the day of the capsize, that "life jackets make you float!". I guess taking them to the lake FIRST and letting them swim in a life jacket would have been prudent....We spent the afternoon of the 4th at Lake Elwell sunning and swimming. Our friends Dan and Lori took Bradford tubing! Kenzie preferred to body-surf in his life jacket.(since he discovered it made you float!) Christy and Ian and friends came down to Bar B Q with us Thursday, and Christy and her friend Heidi floated the river with us on Friday. What a great week! Hope your 4th was wonderful too!

"Hot Donna"




This is Bradford's new lamb, "Hot Donna." She is about 9 days old here. Matthew, Mary and I are taking turns bottle feeding her while Bradford is away at his Father's for two weeks. Hot Donna felt that my 'rock wall' garden was the perfect spot to nap!




Kenzie's Haircut


Kenzie has finally discovered that haircuts are fun...

Kenzie discovers the Cell Phone....

I wonder what this button does....

Yeah, He's pretty CUTE!

Bradford and his "Bestest Buddy"




Ok, so I admit it, I'm a bit jealous...according to Bradford and McKenzie, Matthew makes the "best" macaroni and cheese in the world...he's better than I am at pop-up pirate, AND, he's the most comfortable thing to lay on. How can you compete with that?!
