July

The twins and I spent the 4th of July at home.  We had hamburgers at my parents house, then went into town to watch the fireworks.  Daddy was, of course, working the lakes.

Soon after the 4th, we went to our favorite river destination.  We had a ton of fun.  The boys fished and I read my books.  We caught fish and swam a lot.

Wild and Mild entertained us with their guitar playing abilities in a "fireplace hearth concert."

We went to the Oasis and had a wonderful weekend with friends.  Heath caught numerous bass, a couple of perch and almost caught a huge catfish all by himself.

Hunter caught some bass and perch, too, but he struggles with the patience needed to fish.

Since then, we've been home doing normal "home" things and swimming at the tank every afternoon.  I still am not letting anyone mention that dreaded "S" word that will be starting up again soon.  We are enjoying our summertime too much.

Grow and Multiply

We are beginning to run out of steps.

June

Here is the recap....

We went to Kali's birthday party at Stockton's Fun Center.  We had a blast.  Heath beat everyone in bowling.  The big girls beat the big boys.  Uncle Phillip wasn't happy. Hehe.  Putt Putt golf was a wild adventure.  Aunt Kay and I were unable to keep score because H&H&Kali were too dangerous with the balls and clubs.  We opted for survival.

I hosted a baby shower at our house for a sweet lady from our church.  It was fun and there were a ton of people.  I think it turned out really nice.

We went to Ruidoso, NM with our besties.  When we arrived, there were 4 big bull elk right outside our cabin.  It was the highlight of my trip.  So cool!

In Ruidoso, the boys went fishing, while the girls slept late and shopped.  It was the perfect vacation.

We went to the "fun place" as the boys call it.  They loved the go carts...

...and the bumper boats.  Although, after the bumper boats, not a single person was dry.

We attempted putt putt golf again...it didn't go any better the second time around.  Craziness!

We hiked in the forest.  The boys also skinny dipped in the mountain stream.  I didn't get pictures of that...I didn't think we needed to share that.
