July 4th, 2011


This year for the 4th of July we watched fire works with Joy, Darik and Keira.
Isn't Joy a beautiful pregnant woman.
She gave birth to Edward the next day!

Keira and Brock just kissed each other.

This was Rayna's first year seeing fireworks. She was SO cute!
She kept trying to catch them. She was absolutely amazed.



Our Trip to Kansas City June 28th-July 1st

I took the kids on a road trip to Kansas City to visit some of my college friends.
Here are Regina and Jill with me. (Above)

Mary Schmitz, an college room mate with Rayna and me.


It was over 100 degrees so we had some fun with water in the backyard.
Phil and I were trying to fill up some water guns for
Brock. Rayna and Mitchell (Regina and Phil's little boy)

Rusty and I trying to fix a leak in the blow up slide.
Playing with a new friend, Reille (might be misspelled but sounds like RE-ell).
All the kids (minus the newborn, Roxton). From left to right:
Reille (3), Mitchell (2 1/2), Ryker (6), Brock (almost 4) and Rayna (almost 2)

We always take one of these photos...and here we are!
Jill, Rusty, Mariel
Regina, Jen and Phil

Brock's fist "slip and slide" experience.

Rayna loved it too!

And here we are...the whole gang.
Reille, Phil, Regina, Mitchell, Ryker, Rusty, Mariel, Brock, Jen and Rayna
Jill is taking the photo and can be seen in the reflection :)

The beautiful Regina!

The lovely Jill!

The vulgar Phil and me!
