Okies for a Day

 We love going back to Oklahoma for 4th of July.  It's one of our favorite things! We arranged things to go a day earlier than usual, so that Little Man could get his senior pictures taken while we were there.  We stopped at Braums on our way down. 

We love being with the Wardenburgs.  We played games, went swimming, grabbed an Eileen cookie, and went to the parade.




  

We always grab doughnuts and sausage rolls on the way to the parade.  This year was definitely the most memorable.  We got stuck in a downpour, and the kids loved it!

We usually get a family picture together at the statue, but with the rain Little Man took one for the team and just got the picture by himself quickly as we ran to the car.

Little Guy has loved being reunited with Tucker, and the hamster was a welcome addition to the fun this year.

Getting Ready

Someone wasn't very happy about getting a hair cut.  I'll let you guess which one.  (He doesn't like his curls getting cut off).  Meanwhile, we've been gearing up for our big East Coast trip.  I've been taking the kiddos walking every morning to prepare for all the walking on the trip.  We went to the Arboretum this morning.

Tournament Weekend

 BB and Little Guy had their final game of the season.  The tournament did not go their way, but it was a lot of fun to watch.  Little Guy pitched really well and got a single that lead to a run.  At one point they were ahead in the game, but they lost in the final inning.  It was a bummer, but the opposing team went on to win the tournament, so it was a worthy opponent.  BB had the worst game of the season - it was a club team that played down a level, and it was pure annihilation.  I'm not gonna lie - it was so painful I forgot to take any pictures.  It's not how they wanted to end the season, because the team did well up until that game, but he took it rather well.  They're both already excited for Fall Ball to start up again.

Double Rainbow

 I wish pictures did them justice.  There was a full, double rainbow walking out of work this evening.

Animals in the Cul De Sac

We came home from BB's baseball game and saw a fox in our yard.  BB went running after it (from a distance) for a picture. Luna and Stella continue to rule the roost at our home though.

How to Train Your Dragon

The kiddos have been so excited about the move coming out in theaters.  We finally got to go with friends today. They loved it!

For the Strength of Youth

Little Lady got to go to her very first FSY, and Little Man joined her for his second adventure.  It was in Warrensburg, Missouri at University of Central Missouri. They had a great time.  Little Lady didn't even want to come home.  She performed in the Talent Show and had so many amazing experiences.
