4th of July

Well - we had a great 4th - swam with Katie day before, visited Nan and Pop and played with kitties and puppies. The day of, we went to the Maupins to let the girls swim! Lots of fun! That night, we went to the Harper's and had a great view of the fireworks, it was literally in their backyard - right behind it actually! They were great! The girls didn't really like them - it was a little loud! Still had fun though!
Miss America!

Braden didn't really like the fireworks - a little too loud!

Visiting Aunt La

Looks like we might have a farm girl!

Brandon let us come out and ride the combine with him. I can't begin to describe how much Braden loved it! It was late in the evening so it was cool and we got some great pics! Hayes and Hallee rode along too - the girls went together and Joe rode with Hayes! Everyone wanted to go again! Actually Braden went again with Brandon and Celeste and fell asleep! Thanks Uncle Brandon. I'm sure we will bug you again to ride in the tractor!

Mom looked so great to be taking pics!

Hayes and Joe

Hey Everyone!

Oops, forgot the Galveston trip

We went with Kay and Katie to Moody Gardens in Galveston! It was very nice and lots of fun!

Someone didn't share the chocolate on the pillow!

Puppies, puppies, and more puppies

Jon and Lacey have 9 lab puppies, which are for sale by the way! They are precious! Braden loved them!

Rodeo and Ropin'

We went to the youth rodeo in Fairfield to watch Katie and of course, had to ride Missy! She didn't want to get off! Then, we got to South Texas and watched Daddy rope. He roped good, but I think he had more fun riding with Braden! :) She was a trooper, took a little siesta and was ready to go again!




Katie and Hank

Of course, she had to wear her belt to the roping!
