Enjoying the Weather

Tonight the weather here was wonderful, we thought there might be rain coming so we took the kids outside to enjoy the cool breeze. They got these new bouncy ball things and so we let them try them out. At first all they did was bounce once and then bounce off. They got the hang of it after a while. Kelsey had more patience for it than Caden did, hence the pics of her and not of him bouncing! After that they of course had to get everything else out of the garage, Caden is getting much better at riding his bike and of course him and Dad had to get in a game of b-ball( with the soccer ball) If you notice I actually took the picture at the exact moment the ball was going into the basket... yes I was amazed as well. We all had fun enjoying the weather and spending time together outside.
A quick thank you to my wonderful husband for setting up our blog ( we are finally in the 21st century now) and now maybe our friends will stop telling us that we need to get a blog or facebook or something!! hahaha Anyway, thanks again to my hubby!

Cameron Baptist Block Party

We all had fun at the Cameron Baptist Block Party. There were tons of people there, so that was good for the church. They had exotic animals to see as well. As you can see, Kim had a large bird on her shoulder for a while until it started nibbling on her ear. Caden got on the fire truck for a while. We all went into the Lawton Fire Dept smoke house to learn how to escape a fire. However, one the lights turned out and the smoked started, Caden froze and cried, so they had to drag him out. The kids enjoyed playing in Kim's VBS room that she put together.

Fun Saturday at Fort Sill

Caden and Phillip had a great time at Fort Sill. They had free food and drinks as well as plenty of police cars. Caden and Phillip sat in the front of the Medicine Park Dodge Charger police car for a while as they played with the sirens by themselves. They also sat in the back of the K9 truck for a little while. They rode their bikes and they got ID cards. He was VERY tired after that, but he hung on through the rest of the day.

Trina's Birthday!!!

Kim, myself, and the kids had an awesome time at Trina's birthday party. Trent gave all the kids instructions on how to dig for objects in the sand pile. The kids played in the water for a while, they jumped on the trampoline, and they went up and down the slide. They had a blast and were very tired when they got home.

Armed Forces Day Parade

The kids enjoyed the Armed Forces Day parade this year. The city of Lawton changed the route and time this year, so it was on a Saturday morning instead of a blazing hot Friday afternoon. We found a nice, shady spot and were able to watch the entire parade without any problems. We exchanged some bubbles for a flag from some people next to us.

Sleepy Time

Arts for All

Caden and Kelsey take a break at the Arts for All Festival. This is actually one of the best pictures of both of them together. We also found some flowers for them to take pictures with, and they came out really well.
