PETCO



Kate & I took our doggies to 
{PETCO} and boy did they love it.
Razz peed 3 or 4 times and pooped once.
Oh the joys of being a doggie mother.

Rift-Raft Relay Race


The sun finally came out so all the wives headed to the pool,
 enjoyed the vitamin D & had ourselves a little competition.
We had a {Rift-Raft Relay Race} and it was hilariously fun. 
Rules were, you had to stay on your raft & you couldn't jump in till your 
partner touched the side/your hand.
It was quite the sight & oh so exciting!

It has ended

Juliann & I
don't worry, we cried almost the whole time.
Tyler, Dillan, & Kyle


Harry Potter,
 the most brilliant series ever written is over.
What to look forward to now?
The movies were amazing but nothing tops 
the magical details of the books.
I am so sad it has ended, but so glad it happened.
Thank you J.K. Rowling for your creation.

SUmMeR SNOWBALLS

Snowballs are the best summer treat.

Food For Thought

As a rule, man's a fool;
when it is hot he wants it cool;
when it is cool he wants it hot, 
always wanting what is not,
never wanting what he has got.

Po-Boy Obsession


Tyler's favorite thing about Louisiana 
are the {Po-Boy} sandwiches.
His favorite kind is the blackened shrimp.
We went out for lunch one afternoon and we 
had to hit up a {Po-Boy} shop.
Tyler was in heaven. I wasn't.
Mine was okay, but it didn't live up to the hype.
Tyler says it's cause I ordered the wrong kind.
I got fried shrimp and I guess the only way to go 
is the blackened shrimp.
Better luck next time for me I guess.

4 July 2011
 Razz was so excited he got to go with us to the firework show.
He loves going places.
The Capitol Building

Razz was so scared of the fireworks outside of our house.
He jumped out of my arms and bolted for the front door!
 This little stick was my favorite.
It looked like we had wands from Harry Potter and were dueling Voldemort.

This is what the little rocket Dillan lit off did in the sky.
We weren't expecting that.
I am like a child and love Sparklers!

What a fun {4th} of July celebration! 
We are so grateful for this beautiful country and the freedom
that we have. We appreciate all the men and women who fight 
to keep us safe everyday!
