Snap, Crackle, POP!

Another fun 4th of July.  We had quite a group of friends and family. The Wallaces and Stewarts started the day with a trip to Valley Ranch.  The heat was too miserable to BBQ.  We missed Jamie's family they are up north visiting Beck's family.  Jamie has needed to work so he drove them up, and flew home. We have missed them. Then we were joined by the Morgans, Arciniegas, Butterfields, Solgeres, and Toya, at the Stewarts.

We then moved the fun to the Stewarts.

        We take fireworks seriously!                    

                                   
    Sometimes mistakes look cool.

Happy Fourth of July!

Swim Fishy Swim

June brought about swim teams. Hot meets, and good results all around.  Benz decided to try it out this year. His positive attitude and persistence made it fun for him. I love it when I  see grandchildren embrace what they love to do and go for it.  I have seen it in all of them.

Benz picked the meets to swim in, so we made sure we went to this one. It was so fun to see him enjoy it. He has a beautiful swim stroke.

The Stewarts were at it again. Ike, Jake, Zeke, all did well.                               Jake
