Happy Birthday Connor!!

We had a great time camping with Derk and Debbie and the Branch families over the 4th of July Weekend.  The weather was wonderful and the kids had a blast singing, playing games, fishing, playing in the creek, riding four wheelers and so much more.  On July 4th we had our annual parade in honor of Grandpa Denny's birthday.  We sang happy birthday to him and the kids marched in a parade.  Kadee, Marquessa, and Lexie sang "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy" and Jamie Branch played the Statue of Liberty.  Great memories were made!

This last week we celebrated Connor's 11th birthday.  On his actual birthday we had swim lessons and McDonald's for breakfast and a dinner of his choice: hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, corn on the cob, and Coldstone Ice Cream Cake.  On Saturday we had his friends over to play ping pong and watch Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 3D.  The boys were wild but had a lot of fun, I was exhausted by the end of the night!  Then on Sunday Matthew decided to ride his bike with no training wheels!  He told Connor, "Me do it Connor!" so Connor took his training wheels off, helped him once and he was good to go!
