Other Fun July Pictures...

Samuel wrote his name all by himself for the first time!

Colette -- always in dress-up mode! Our funny little cutie...

Summer swimming -- at the housing pool here on base -- the kids were very excited about these new goggles and floating devices we just got that day!

"Wicked"!

I had my first little get-away from the kids by myself to go and see the play, "Wicked" with my mom & sisters!! It was AWESOME!! That is an awesome play & it was tons of fun to get to spend time with the girls! Jared & the kids survived just fine while I was gone... :) It was fun for them to get to spend that time with their Daddy!

Our Fun 4th of July!

We ended up having tons of fun for 4th of July this year with our AWESOME family who decided to come and visit us!! Mike & Casslyn, Tyler, Reagan, & Graham! We were all so excited to get to have them come, and it was a very fun weekend we got to spend together. I just love how the kids are such buddies with their cousins -- they have a blast together! We went to the big city 4th of July celebration on that Saturday, and the kids just love getting to ride on the big bus that shuttles us over, and of course the big fireworks show at the end of the night! Some classic faces for the fireworks by the kids in these last two pictures here.... :)

Samuel in Soccer

Samuel is doing "Start Smart" soccer right now, and LOVING it! The best part about it this time is that it's on Saturdays, so his Daddy gets to go with him every week, and help him with his soccer skills! (He just loves doing it with Jared)... It sure is a fun little program that they offer here at our Youth Center, and Samuel always impresses us with his sports abilities!
