July 4th

After the baseball game Murray has a big firework show! There was a little time between the game and before the fireworks started so we brought some games to play! One of them is a water game! Let's just say that if you try really hard you don't have to get wet, but even when you try some people don't play nice and end up getting you wet! It may not have all been from the game but from the left over balloons that ended up being used to break on people!

Poor MeMe! She got it the worst! Luckily for us she is nice even when everyone is picking on her! She still smiles and laughs! And lucky for me Travis knows better not to get me wet so instead he and Brandt soaked MeMe!

Just waiting!And waiting!!

Ah here we go!

It was worth the wait!

Not summer without Baseball!!

July 4th!!

Our family are huge baseball fans! Well at least the girls are! We have been and always will be! So of coarse during the summer you have to go at least to one baseball game! MeMe is dating Brandt who is a baseball player but the funny thing is the pictures I took aren't of him but of his brother Tyler! Just happened to be who was playing before we watched the fireworks!
This is our family and the Anderson family! I wasn't able to get a picture of anyone eating a hot dog but MeMe is drinking one of our favorite drinks, slushy Dr. Pepper! Ummm!!

All smiles at the game!! :)

Being a typical boy!!

Why is it when boys go outside they think that nobody can see them and they can do whatever they want! When Joel was little he and a couple of the neighbor boys stood at the top of the driveway and were trying to see who could pee the furthest! Yes, my mother was mortified but was trying not to laugh at the same time! So Gavin was outside playing with the dog when I took this picture!

Ok, so Becky doesn't die, no he isn't actually peeing but from the way the picture took it sure looks like he is! It just reminded me of Joel (and yes that story about him is true!! he he he).

The ZOO!!

Well when you go to the zoo you go and see the animals! Sometimes I forget that the most wild animals are the ones that you take with you! Well, my family really aren't that wild but we do like to have some fun! When Becky, Jamie, Gavin, and Laynie come during the summer we like to take the kids to the zoo!

(Sorry Becky it was either this one or the one were Laynie isn't looking at all)

It was time to go for a ride!!!Now for the real animals!!!

Gavin does this move he calls the "scorpion"! While we were at the zoo one of the animals did the same move!

Of coarse it had to be the elephant! Ardy's favorite animal!!

Graduation

MeMe's Graduation!!!

I can't believe that she is finally old enough to graduate! I'm sure she will be embarassed by this but I will always remember my sister as being the baby girl that would sleep in the cardboard box! If you want the details to that story you will have to ask us someday about that!

Bomber

Bomber

So I'm sitting here at home and it is all peaceful and quiet and then I hear this loud noise. I ignored it the first time, then it came again and again. I went outside and sure enough there was four fighter planes and a bomber plane flying circles over my house! It was pretty cool but scary at the same time. They did over a half an hour of this flight plane before they finally went north. So much for my quiet and peaceful time!

That is looking right over my house! You can only see the two fighter planes but there is two more by the other wing behind the house. They were going pretty fast so that is the best picture I could get!

Ducklings

"Ugly Duckling"

So last month we realized that we had a duck that was hiding in our bushes. Well one of the times that she got up Travis went out there and looked and sure enough she was sitting on some eggs. There wasn't just a few but we counted and there was 17 eggs hiding there. So after some serious waiting we finally have some ducklings! Yeah!!!!

There is some more hiding under the bush that you can't see! But we didn't want to disturb them so these are the only ones that we could get a picture of!
