July 4th and relay 4 life

For 4th of July, we went to our friends the Carmacks and had a great time, the kids loved their back yard with the tree house and pool!! THen we went around front to watch the fireworks because their house is right next to the park where they were doing them!! Then the next pictures are from Relay this year. This was our 4th relay since Rod started working at American Cancer Society. We always have a great time there and the kids love to stay out late on Relay nights!! Unfortunately, Ronnie didnt get to go to relay this year with us because he was at Middle school camp at Falls Creek. We really missed him!!

oooh Mommy look at that one!!!

Vacation 2008 and Fathers day, tarantulas, and Jenna raps!!

Ok This year we decided to stay close to home for vacation, usually we try to go to at least one state that we havent been to before but with the cost of gas and our add-on, we chose to modify! The best times for me anyway are quiet time with just our family, watching Rod play with the kids and them playing together! It doesnt have to be a fancy place as long as we are together, we still made great memories!! First, we went to Texas to see my Dad for fathers day and then on the way back we stopped in Sulpher Oklahoma and rented a cabin for 3 nights and relaxed, fished and played!! On the way home we stopped at the Super Hero Museum which the boys LOVED and there is a slide show of that at the bottom. Be sure to watch the video of Jenna rapping with Big Daddy AKA Uncle Tom!! It is so funny!
