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!

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.

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. 

Floating

we love our new floating devices that help to keep us cool loungin' in the pool.

With the Louisiana heat 

pool floaties are the only way to go!

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!
