Showing Our Independence

This 4th of July weekend was nice and quiet. Mom and I were undisturbed most of the weekend, but we did manage to get to Cindy and John's house to wish John a Happy Birthday and have an awesome Summer BBQ dinner with family and friends. Mitch and Aubrey spent the weekend camping with their dad. I can't wait to hear their camp stories!

Jenny arrived this weekend and will be in Arizona for the next six weeks while Nick is on a field Trip - although I don't think that's what the Army calls it. I think they call it field exercises? A field trip makes it sound like so much more fun. I am sure Jenny is chatting with him as we dip our toes in the pool.

Happy Birthday John! He is enjoying his new pool toys that he got for his birthday.

Cameron was also celebrating his 22nd birthday this weekend. He took a trip to Disneyland. Rumor has it that he got lost....in Mickey's House....ended up on the back lot? Is this true Cam?

My lazy weekend actually produced this darling quilt made especially for Jaxon Thomas. I hope he likes it as much as this monkey likes it!

Jenny and I had one more fun activity this weekend. We made the baby shower invitations. They are so cute! Make sure you let me know if you didn't get yours! What a fun weekend!

Happy Birthday Cameron!

Even though you're Twenty Two!

Love you Cam!
Happy Happy Birthday!

Don't Make Me Get My Flying Monkeys!


Friday July 3rd Mitchell, Aubrey, Cindy, John and I went to see the musical Wicked. We've been waiting so long to see it and it was well worth the wait. It was beautiful, funny, sad, and so much more than we expected. The story has really changed the way I will watch the Wizard of Oz in the future, and I am not sure I like it or not? Hmmmm. That movie has always been one of my all-time favorites since childhood and now I really can't be afraid of that wicked old witch anymore. But you know, the monkeys will always scare me! It is a must see from all of the critics in our house!
