4th of July

LET FREEDOM RING!!!

Growing up we listened to alot of Neil Diamond so the 4th of July always brings back singing Comin' to America... Thanks Mom!

We had a blast this 4th of July thanks to our friends Wendy and Nate. They were kind of enough to invite us to their BBQ. We had alot of fun!!! GOOD food, good company, good times!

I have to laugh at these 2.... they are 3 weeks apart, Kairi being older (but wouldn't know it by looking at them) But man he couldn't do anything right. If he touched her she would scream, if he would get to close she would scream...

Now Korver on the other hand, He couldn't do anything WRONG!! He had her laughing so hard, he played with her, she would follow him around, she would get mad when he would leave... then he gave her a ride on his 4 wheeler... Heaven on earth! She just rode along like it was nothing pretty much the cutest kids right there all three of them!

playing Croquet... if anyone asks I won (just don't ask Kelly)

After dinner we headed home to put the little one to bed. But our neighborhood sure didn't go to bed, fireworks from EVERY angle, all over the place. Having fireworks that can go in the air legal this year...everyone took advantage of it. It was great for me cause I didn't have to spend any money on them. So we just out with our neighbors in the street watching fireworks from every where. Then I started to get eaten alive by bugs... the bugs are really bad this year!

So Happy 4th of July! A special thanks to all those serving our country making it possible to live in the land of the free and the brave. We can't thank you enough for all yoru sacrifice!!

Animals to Helicopters

We had quite the day yesterday!! Met up with my brother and sister in law for some haircuts, waxing and BBQ at there house. Its always a good time watching Kelly get his nose hairs waxed. Then they suggested we go to Wheeler Farm. Of all the years I have lived here I don't ever remember ever going to Wheeler Farm!! WOW that place is so much fun! We fed ducks, petted goats, fed geese, saw rabbits, and horses (who had the farts) and cows, and wow that place is fun!! Kairi loved all the animals and wasn't scared like when we saw the baby chicks at IFA. Yes she was afraid of the baby chicks at IFA what a weird child, but she was okay to sit on my lap as I fed a goose, a honking goose!!

I wanted to take a baby duck home!!

I think she was trying to make the face of a goat

After the farm Cody was flying in from Canada on his way down south to a fire. So we got to meet him at the airport and take a little tour of his helicopter and see what he "says" he does at work. I would not enjoy flying long distances in the back of a helicopter, talk about close uncomfortable quarters. I guess thats why he is the pilot and get the comfy seat. But needless to say we had fun goofing on, the other firefighters probably thought we were weirdos, but who doesn't? Kairi was tired, and hungry and didn't want anyone but Mom but she still seemed to like being in there.

So thanks Cody for letting us come see you!!

This is how they repel out of the helicopter?! okay maybe not even close...

I had to laugh at this picture, my brother in the background!!!! AH AH AHAHAHA

Thanks again Cody!

Vertically on the move

Yep she is on the move!! She wouldnt let this toy out of her site once she started going. I might just have to get her one. She is growing up way to fast!

Don't pee in the pool

Okay I have figured out the number one reason to have kids......
SO YOU CAN PLAY WITH THERE TOYS AND FEEL COMPLETLY OKAY WITH IT!!!

Wow its great, and man am I looking forward to many many more days of this....

Yep thats me lounging in Kairis new pool we got her. She LOVES IT!!! We hook the hose up to the washer spout add a little warm water with the cool water... and WAHLA you have bath water in your outside pool and a happy kiddo!! I get to sit out in the sun, bask in the sunlight, sip my drink, relax all while Kairi is next to me laughing and playing playing in the pool. Man this is the life... why ever did I wait 7 years to have kids?

We took the pool over to our friend Wendys house and let our kids play in the pool we were probably in there for a good 3 hours. I took Kairi out and she was just raisen foot. She grabbed her foot played with the raisens, look at me all confused then laughed. She is a water baby. Today my sister and I took out kids to a pool near her house, she was kicking her feet laughing at me. I would put her on the side of the pool and she would "jump" in to my arms and laugh. (well as much as she could jump/stand) We had a great day, can't wait for many more pool days this summer... to bad the warm weather started so LATE this year!

Happy Swimming
