Katie and THE KIDS: July 2008

Hello All!! The kids came home from their dad's for a couple of weeks and are now back at their dad's for the second two week summer stay. We had a fun couple of weeks though! We saw a couple movies KungFu Panda and Speed Racer. The were both good! But, of course you can imagine after seeing KungFu Panda I heard a lot of "HIIII-YAAA!s" around the house. "Mom he hii-ya'd me!" Good Grief. I had to work on the 3rd so the girls at the office bought the most amazing cake (chocolate strawberry) and took me out to lunch. I came home to a house full of people with dinner, cake (made by the kids of course),balloons,ice cream and presents! Oh! AND Gracie found her first wiggly tooth (it was REALLY wiggly and fell out four days later). It was a great day! The 4th was a really fun day! We went to the annual July 4th parade here in The Colony. That was fun! Of course the kids favorite part is the candy they throw. Later that afternoon we went down to the lake where they were having' a big July 4th celebration. We had so much fun! I spent some birthday money and got us a family fun pack for $30 (that's big spending for me!). With these bracelets we could all do all the activities as many times as we wanted! Bull riding, surfing, rock climbing, slides, bounce houses, get you face/body painted , little wash off airbrush "tatoos" and balloon animals as many times as you wanted! Plus we were on the lake so the sunset was awesome.Oh, AND they had a Journey cover band which was fun for me! Then of course the fireworks over the lake. They were amazing!! My sweet Momma gave me a new camera for my birthday so I took A LOT of pictures!! Here's a few... Here's the bday banner Grandma and the kids made for me! Thanks for making the day so special Mom,Sarah, Dad, & kiddos!
