An evening at Oaks Park

Again this summer the boys were a part
of the summer reading program at the library.
At the end of the program they
give out certain "rewards" and one
is a discounted ride bracelet
for a particular night to visit Oaks Park-our
very own amusement park here in town.
We had a great time as a family
enjoying the rides on a nice
summer night!
We took some fun pictures near the crazy mirrors!





This slide and the roller coaster were our
favorite rides. We got right back in
line many times after we
got to the bottom, to go down again.
We tried to have races to see who
could get to the bottom first.












Josh and Dad went really fast on this ride
and also backwards!
Despite, Alex's cool look in the picture
above, neither of us like the spinning
dizzy rides so we didn't go on the car one!


Oaks Park also has a roller skating rink that
was included with our ride bracelets.
We had a good time rolling around.











The boys had treats on the way out, but poor
Mom; they were out of popcorn!

Birthday Girl!

My birthday was on a Monday, but I felt like I had
a whole birthday weekend because of
all the festivities I enjoyed!


Dad and Mom graciously had my family and some
friends from church over to their house
on Saturday for a great spread of food
and fun for all!







Alex got some grapes stuck in his lip!
(We won't mention any names, but another
adult had the creative idea first:)


I have some wonderful friends who
came to celebrate with me and gave
me sweet gifts as well!


Those boys always teasing poor Lauren!

Wearing Alex's High-tops!

We all enjoy the two little girls that I
watch on Tuesdays! They are 16 months
apart and a lot of fun.
I enjoy having my baby fix!




Here is a future, girls basketball player?!

Joshua's Birthday Celebration!

Josh had a great big birthday celebration!






He started with dinner and singing at
Red Robin
with Pop-pop and Nana...






Then he had a Nerf gun party for all his friends
to come and shoot at each other!


It was great to have tons of
friends over to celebrate with us!







A serious soldier.













The back yard had ping-pong, foosball and
all the Nerf gun wars!



Josh was blessed with great cards and
gifts from all his friends!
Spoiled rotten!

4th of July Celebration

We had a great 4th of July weekend,
starting with a church picnic and
baptism in the cold, cold creek
water at Eagle Fern Park!
The kids played a little baseball!



The next night we had dinner with
friends and watched the fireworks
in the driveway!

Sparklers are so much fun.


Someone was a little concerned at first but
enjoyed the fireworks as he got used to them.





As it got colder and darker the kids ran for cover!


Happy Birthday America!
