Some July Catchin' to do!

Ok ok!!!!! So where does July think it is going so fast?????? I blinked and it is about over. Lesson for ya....don't blink! So anyhoo--- I got alot of summer catchin up to do so here it goes. We had our 4th of July celebrations. Me and Mike did the Veterans Memorial at the park for the 4th of July carnival. I love doing this. I have done it now for many years, and each year that I pull out the pictures and read them over again I just feel like I get to know the Vets more and more and have a greater appreciation for them. I also get so excited when I get more brought to me each year. So I will continue to do the memorial as long as the committee will let me do it.
We spent some time down at the carnival. Mike had to dance so we got to watch her preform with the drill team.


Steph hung out with Kloie and Marissa.

Sam was hangin with Bailee.Then that night we tried to have fireworks. But the rain and wind would not cooperate with the fireman, so fireworks were canceled. It was a tough decision for them to make, but a wise one. It was sad though because the fireman that helped out with it spent most of their 4th of July getting them ready. But what good men they are to reschedule and do it again on the 23rd for us. Ok so on to the next event. Sams softball tournament. They won the tournament. The championship game was very intense! The game lasted about 2 and a half hours. At one point we thought that there was no way we would win the game which would leave us having to play the team one more time because we had not lost one yet, but by some miracle....we won. Wow what a game. Sam hit a home run too! She has some great talent in softball...obviously not inherited from me! Congrats Sam!This post is just the start of our busy July that just whipped by! So don't worry, more July events to come! Remember though.....DON'T BLINK!
