Happy July 4th!

We spent a quiet 4th of July with just our family this year. We spent all
day playing games and eating yummy food and then went and watched the
fireworks at La Centera. It was strange having a fireworks ban for
our area. We are use to fireworks going off every where until all
hours of the night and our dogs barking like crazy. The night was
quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed our day together.
A few weeks ago I went out and bought all of us patriotic shirts. I
even sent one to Elizabeth in Idaho! I had forgotten that
Darin has said he would never wear an Old Navy shirt considering he
was in the Air Force. But, he gave in and wore it just to make me
happy! :) (I guess we can say its in honor of our Dad's who both served in the Navy)

I was surprised no one complained about wearing them. I need
to get better at getting the right size for everyone...

Happy July 4th Everyone!

We couldn't leave Macy out!

Eyn and Prancer - We have had Prancer for nearly 12 years now. These two have always been great buddies!

Me and my Honey

This past week Amberly and I have enjoyed making a few patriotic crafts together including these flip flops.

Ice Skating at the Galleria

Saturday we needed to get out and decided to head over to the Galleria and do a little ice skating.  Darin wasn't feeling good so we both decided to sit out and watch Trent and Amberly enjoy themselves.  It was nice doing something cold considering it was over 100 degrees outside!  I think they both enjoyed themselves!

This was Amberly's first time to ice skate and she did great!  She didn't fall down nearly as much as we expected and seemed to really enjoy it.  She scraped her hand up good, but I think she enjoyed it!

 

 Trent was a really good skater.  The place was packed with people!  I guess everyone wanted out of the heat!

Darin said that was the best he could do on smiling.  He was kind of bummed because he had a nice 4 day weekend and ended up feeling lousy for most of it.  

 For some reason Trent enjoys goofing off during pictures...

 Mom and her precious Amberly!

Like I say, Never serious!
