Crater Lake

We took a day trip in June to Crater Lake. It was beautiful and freezing. We enjoyed ourselves immensly and wondered why we don't do things like that more often!

Smiles

I realize I am not the best photographer, bear with me! 4th of July outfit. It says Miss Independent on it! CUTE CUTE!!

Goggles Down!

I bought goggles for swimming lessons. Imaginations are such a wonderful things. Soon they were protective eyewear for boxing and Karate. While we were watching fire works, the kids would say "goggles down" and they would pull them down off their foreheads. They watched all night like that! Too Funny!

The WORST EVER!

Ok, so I have not blogged for over a month. BAD!! Lets play catch up. Kassidy is 12 wks today, weighs roughly 14lbs, is so cute and way too much fun! She smiles and coos and the kids fight over who gets to look at her. Cooper is turning 6 this week, where did 6 years go??? Rhianna is convinced that her b-day should be before Coopers! Joe is putting lawn in this week. We are so excited!! I have gone back to work, so to speak. I am once again holding MK appointments!! Yeah! Summer is flying by and I am not getting anything done. Who cares, though, really? Kids are fed, clean and played with and that is all that really matters, right??!! OH, We bought a Durango. I LOVE IT. Room for all and then some.

Kassidy's Blessing

We blessed Kassidy May 31. It was wonderful and exausting. Rhianna also had her dance recital that weekend, so family got to see it all! Joe blessed Baby Kassidy with a wonderful blessing, we are delighted she is here! Her 8 week check-up is this week. Hard to believe!

I made a PIE!!!

That is all, I made a coconut pie, all from scratch, first time ever, and I ate the whole thing myself!!!

Cooper and Rocky

Cooper was in the Jr. Rodeo this last weekend and had a ball! In the Mutton Bustin', his sheep took two steps out of the shoot and lept 4 feet in the air! Needless to say, Coop went off the side and got a mouthful of dirt. Poor buddy! A friend of ours got a picture of the sheep in mid-air with Cooper hanging off the side, when she e-mails it to me I will post it. He did very well in the rest of his events. I was so proud of him, he is getting so big. On the speed barrel (run horse down around a barrel and back) Rocky would not go! He kept trying to go back to the gate. Cooper didn't let him quit, he didn't get frustrated or upset, he just kept trying until he got to the barrel. Then, of course, when Rocky realized they were going back in the direction of the gate, he went! Cooper did not win a buckle, which he had his heart set on, but he is excited for next year and is already talking about what he will do different!
