Sierra's Birthday

 Sierra was on Trek for her birthday.  When she got back things were crazy here.  I didn't really have time to make her a cake so I chose the next best option, or maybe better option-Costco.  I did choose a cake that matched her trek clothes so we could tie the two days together ;)  I think all of her birthday present opening ended up on video...I'll have to add some of those later.  Happy Birthday to my sweet 14 year old!

So here is Necia on the left meeting her cousin Gretta on the right...Gretta is on month younger than Necia.  It was really funny how they just stared at each other! Hi Cousin!

Here is Gretta meeting her Grandma...she is such a good baby!

Home From Trek

Here they are back from Trek...dirty, sunburned and not looking quite like they did when they left!  At least they are home safe and sound...

Connor, Cheyenne, and Sierra go to Trek

 Here are my cute pioneer girls...they even decorated their bucket lids to match their clothes!  The buckets were their suitcases.  They of course customized their fabric to their personalities...We teased Cheyenne she would be the first eaten if there were wild animals along the way. 

 Connor had Sierra do his...white shirt goes with white lid!

 Here is Connor-he will roast!  He didn't want to wear the straw hat we had for him...

 All ready to go bright and early

 Connor wondered if he could ride his dog...dog said no!  We will post more pictures when they get home...it is supposed to be 103 degrees all week...will they make it????

I sent Maren to time out for doing I can't remember what while I was making dinner.  I promise I didn't forget her...she was just that tired!  We let her sleep that way for a little while before we moved her-she had a good nap!

Fourth of July

 Here is Necia on her first Fourth of July-waiting for the parade to start!

 The rest of the family-Cheyenne didn't feel well and had to work later so she stayed home...Connor you will see in an upcoming picture.

 Necia's first otter pop!  It was almost 100 degrees and she loved it!

 Here is Connor-middle front- on the class officer float.  You can see his name on the banner in the bottom left corner.  He wasn't thrilled about me jumping out of my seat and running into the road to get this picture!

 Later, after our BBQ we headed to the fireworks...Necia really liked them.  The noisy ones she would bury her face in my neck.

 Joran is king of the mountain - he played on the hill where we parked with some kids that used to be our neighbors-small world!

Maren looses 2 teeth

Maren lost two teeth-Jeff went to pull one for her and the one next to it was left hanging-so he pulled the other one as well.
