Saturday 7/9/11

Today my mom and my nephew, Taylor, came to spend the day with us. Of course I asked her to bring her camera. We took pictures of Breckyn while Ashlyn played video games with Taylor. We got some pictures of Ashlyn with her missing front tooth (she lost her front tooth 2 days ago, finally! It was a big ordeal.) and I will post them when I get them. Big thanks to my mom for taking pictures of the girls!

Bubbles!

4th of July Weekend

Last Thursday my mom came to visit us after she got off work and stayed the night. Her and the girls played games together all evening. The next day we drove to Nevada, MO to spend the weekend at Ronnie's parents house. We did a lot of swimming, had a nice barbecue, and shot off fireworks. It was great to spend time with everyone. Ashlyn and Breckyn enjoyed spending time with their cousins. Sunday night we came home and the next day (4th of July) we went shopping and bought Ronnie's belated Father's Day gift...a leather recliner. Ronnie is happy as well as the girls as they get to sit on our laps and be rocked in it. We also shot off some little fireworks and went to the big firework show in Bentonville. Fun times over the weekend!

Playing "Chutes and Ladders" with grandma Becky.


Ashlyn and cousin, Zacharey, played on the slip n' slide at grandma and grandpa Farmer's house.




Breckyn refused to get in the water but was content with walking around the yard.


Swimming at uncle Leonard's house. Me and the girls.


Breckyn liked floating in the boat.


I tried getting a good picture of the girls in their cute outfits but Breckyn wasn't cooperating.

Shooting off fireworks on the deck. Poppers.


Snappers.

At the firework show in Bentonville. It was crowded but we had good seats. Breckyn wasn't even afraid of the big fireworks.

Weekend Grandpa Steve Came to Visit

A few weekends ago, Grandpa Steve stopped by to visit us on his way to my grandma's house in Kansas. He stayed Friday and Saturday night with us and we went to Ashlyn's softball game and played in the river near our house. This was grandpa's first time seeing Ashlyn play and he was excited about it. It was a nice weekend we got to spend with grandpa but the time went by so fast.

Ronnie and Breckyn watched us on the river bank. The water was too cold for Breckyn.


We found a tree branch to stop and take a picture on.
