2010-Jul.04 Fireworks 4th & Parker's 1st 4th

Look what I found!
- a "take your BBQ" with you anywhere! (Look really close at the back end of the silver truck)
After all the rain we've had, we have a "Grand Canyon" too! right in our driveway-bumpity-bump!
Burp rag for Parker! You can call anytime Parker :)
This is Parker's 1st 4th of July-what fun!! and Jackson's 3rd July 4th.

Parker was more interested in the grass, than anything else!

Mom trying to relax (& with a headache-it's hard)

Jackson & Joseph playing Parker liked playing the the sword (Rory bought all the kids a sword-Thank you Rory!)

Why so many pictures, you ask?! Because, you just can't get everyone to look at the sametime :)

Our Discount Tire Baby!

"Peek-a Boo! I see you!" Jackson :)

When the Fireworks started, I was trying to get Parker to go to sleep, but as soon as the 1st firework popped in the sky, he sat up on my lap, and stayed there looking and watching the sky light up with the colorful fireworks. He never did go to sleep, even though he was sooo tired. He did great his 1st Fourth of July.

Jackson sat on the blanket by his Mom, he really enjoyed them too! He went from one kid to another, "you watch pop pops", "see pop pops", he liked them just as much as I did. We both clapped at the beautiful fireworks.

Joseph sat by Bryan and Johnny in the chairs behind us watching the fireworks. I believe everyone had a great time.

Thanks to Rory and Kathy for letting us "crash" the party at Discount Tire. (Oh yea! And for the handy bathroom!)

2010-Jun.23 Schlitterbahn WaterPark

John Thomas, Joseph, Letti (John's friend) and her 9 yr.old son are going to Schlitterbahn this morning. I hope he keeps that sun screen on Joseph. I was telling John & Joseph all my "Rules", you know-do's and don'ts- as far as don't leave Joseph alone - on his own- and walk off-even for a second. Too many things can happen in that second. Well, Joseph then asked me, " So I guess I am 4 years old again?" and I told him, "Well, I guess so!" Have fun and be careful. Not sure if they are taking pictures, well see!

Nope, no pictures and they didn't get home until around 11 pm. Well, we were asleep when they got home, so really not sure.

The next day though, Joseph said he had a great time with his Uncle John. Thank you to

Uncle John and his friend Letti (which by the way, was Joseph's kindergarten assistant to the teacher, at F.W. Gross).

2010-Jun.10 Summer Begins

Joseph! Joseph WHO? hehe :)
Joseph is staying at Bryan and Krystyn for a few days. He went to Elijah's house Sunday night, spent the night and I picked him up Monday after work. He stayed home Tuesday and by the time I was walking in the door from work he was asking to go with Branson's mom to pick Branson up in Cuero (he was staying at his aunt's house). So Branson's mom picked Joseph up and off they went to Cuero to get Branson. On Wednesday John Thomas went to pick up Joseph from Branson's moms and brought him into town. He took Joseph to Discount Tire Company-where Bryan works and he will be take Joseph home with him for a while.
John Thomas, Johnny & I went to Ventura's to eat dinner. Yum! Yum! shh! don't tell Bryan and Joseph we went to eat. shh! it's a secret.

He's all better now! after his haircut! He's so cute.

I am missing Joseph already! The house is just way too quiet without him.
