America's Birthday Celebration!

This years fourth of July activities was kind of a dud this year. We have been having such intense fires and no rain to bring relief. We usually have a down poor on the 4th, but not this year. Unfortunately this caused a state wide ban on open fireworks and many shows in the state were cancelled as well. Instead we made the most of it by going to the neighborhood park party. The kids loved playing at the park and slurping up snow cones. Over all, our day was still fun and Brandon still got his Kentucky fried chicken. Here's to hoping next year will be moist so that my pyro side can come out. :p 


I am proud to be an American and thankful for the Fireman who are continually working hard to fight the fires here at home. Also for those still serving our country at home and over seas. I wouldn't be able to enjoy such a Holiday with out them! Thanks!

Crafts and fun Ramblings




 Lorelei is growing up so incredibly fast. She has already begun talking and says a lot of things clearly. Here are some of her favorites:

Funny story about Riley. One evening during dinner,
Riley asked me "Mom, ice cream after dinner?,"
I replied, "we don't have any ice cream Riley."
Riley: "then a cookie?"
Me: "We don't have any cookies."
Riley: "Then what?"
Gotta love the innocence of little kids.

Riley and his craft project. He fell in love with the Spaceship bird house and painted it multiple colors. The small bird house was Lorelei's, but she was more interested in painting herself.
