Fourth of July 2011

**Due to a mistake with my picture account and a computer crash, we sadly lost our pictures from June and July 2011 - however, some of them ended up in the 2012 Calendar I made**

Fourth of July!! What more can I say?! The kids were so excited to dress in their "America clothes."

Taysum and Bailey making an "oo" with Ken's juggling rings

We went out to the lake with the family. The kids love Horseshoe Bend! We had a great time with the Andersons and Lindsays!

Later that evening we had a yummy Bar B Q at Grandpa and Grandma's!

Grandpa had set up his new wall tent and the kids had a blast playing in it!

Then, when it started getting dark, we went out to the Lindsay's for fireworks. They always put on a good show!

We are so very blessed to live in this amazing country! And even more so to live in this beautiful part of that country! I'm so especially thankful to have the freedom to spend such a wonderful time with my family!

Here's a Thought:

The rains came down and the flowers came up!

Bailey 10/11

In the middle of church, Bailey shouts out: I hope Jesus coming!!
1/2/11

Taysum got a card from his Kindergarten Teacher, Mrs. Floy, with a picture of her on it in the mail yesterday. Today he was tacking it to his bulletin board in his room and I heard him say, "I hope my teacher love me!" It was SO sweet! 8/13/10

At the pool, I asked Baiely if she wanted to wear her flip flops in the pool and she said, "No, I wear my feet." 7/10

Ken watched as Bailey tried to put up two fingers. He said, "Are you two?" and she said, "No...Peace!! Grandpa say Peace!" 7/10

We have some silk sunflowers in a basket as a centerpiece on our table. Along with the sunflowers there are some cat tails. The other night, Taysum informed us they are not cat tails, they are hot dog flowers! 6/10

I love the way Taysum's mind works...when I can figure it out! Tonight I made him a grilled cheese sandwhich for dinner; I told him it was hot and to wait for it to cool. He got up from the table and went to a fan we had going. He stood in front of it and opened his mouth wide and breathed in. He came back to the table, sat down and "blew the air" on to his sandwich!! He repeated this several times! I guess he thought the air from the fan would be cooler! Good thinking, T!! 6/9/10

I turned on some music and Bailey said, "Let's rock it, Mommy!! Rock and Roll!" 5/10

After a toot, which he politely excused himself for, Taysum said, "I have a Stinky Pete." (Toy Story II) 4/23/10

"This is the BEST dinner ever!!" Dinner was: chicken nuggets, french fries and pineapple. 9/09

We hung a picture of the Billings Temple in our living room. The next morning when T woke up and saw it he said, "It's the temple! I can't believe my eyes!" 9/09

Mom: Taysum, is Daddy silly?
Taysum: No...Daddy's crazy!! 9/09

Some of Bailey's latest fun phrases:
"Come on, Daddy (Mommy, Taysum)! Follow me!"
"Help! Ayudame!"
"Where's Taysum? Hmmm...you see him?"
At stop lights and stop signs, "Ready, set....GO!"

"Stubby cake" How Taysum says stomachache. 7/13/09

This little conversation happened the other day while I was doing nothing in particular.
Taysum, "Mom, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"
Me, "I hope not!"
