Independence Day

I know that this is really late, but I thought I would share our Independence Day Celebration with all of you. Keep in mind that Kenzie hasn't ever liked going to the fireworks because they are too loud. On July 3, we went to the river and found a park where there were many children playing, Kenzie jumped right in and started playing, she met a little girl named Lindsey, they instantly became best friends and we are going to start play dates soon. Then when it got close to time for the firework display to start, we all walked closer to the second street bridge, I have some pics below so that you can all see what happened that night. Thank you Dustin (my little brother) and Candice (my future sister in law) for taking the pics of the display. I really did appreciate that so I could chase the kids, while they took pics.

This was the first time Maddie took to the swingset and she did it a couple of hours before we went to the river for the fireworks, now I have a hard time getting her off of it. She loves the glider!

Kenzie had so much fun sliding down the huge twisting slide at the river, she didn't want to leave! I just love the look on her face here. I was lucky to get the pic, she wasn't very into having Mommy taking pics that night, so like I said, when I snapped this, I was shocked it came out due to the delayed flash on my camera!

"Mommy look, I am going up the steps to the big slide!" I was so scared for her because it was up so high, but she kept going up the steps and then sliding down and repeating the process time after time after time.

BOOM! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! TAKE ME HOME! That was basically what went on next. The fireworks went Boom! Kenzie screamed and then yelled to be taken home. I just put her on my shoulders and walked around with her, then she asked for Daddy, so he did the same and in a few minutes she was asking to go back and watch the "BOOM BOOM'S" with Mommy and Lindsey.

Another Boom.

"Big Boom Mommy!"

"Wow Pretty Boom Momma!"

"Look another one Mommy!"

"Daddy, Red Boom!"

"Pretty boom"

"Mommy, I like Boom!"

"Kenzie, it's ok, it is just the grand finale!"

I have to give Candice props here, after it was all over, she wanted a picture of the city line, and she got a great one! Thanks again for doing all the pics Dustin and Candice, you did great! Now for the after facts. On the 4th, Kenzie woke up and said "Mommy, I need to go to the park and play then watch Boom Booms!" I couldn't believe it! She hated the idea of it just one day prior! I am so happy that she is ok with it now though. So that was our fourth, I will post some more of the pics that were taken while we were in the process of moving as I can.

Love,

Dawn

School is OUT!!!

Today was bittersweet for me.  I am happy its summer break, but that means we only have 2 years before we have a MIDDLESCHOOLER!  I cant believe we are that close already!  Both girls had a great day.  I got soaked walking to get Madispn, then the rain slacked off enough for me to have buckets of sweat rolling into my eyes!  It has been so humid here that i sweat as soon as i go outside let alone walk the more than 1/2 mile to her school.  We are starting a new walking track tomorrow... not sure how far but its gonna be fun to see

sad but true

Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord's Prayer are not allowed in most public schools anymore Because the word "God" is mentioned...... A kid in Arizona wrote the attached NEW School prayer: Now I sit me down in school Where praying is against the rule For this great nation under God Finds mention of Him very odd. If Scripture now the class recites, It violates the Bill of Rights. And anytime my head I bow Becomes a Federal matter now. Our hair can be purple, orange or green, That's no offense; it's a freedom scene. The law is specific, the law is precise. Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice. For praying in a public hall Might offend someone with no faith at all. In silence alone we must meditate, God's name is prohibited by the state. We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks. They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible. To quote the Good Book makes me liable. We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,...
