What's Mine Is Not Yours!

The other day I started painting the bench in my kitchen and my boys found a chair out of the paint can...sure enough they started fighting over it so I had to get another one out of the garage so they could each have their own. Who knew a paint can could be the perfect size chair for a little boy, they absolutley love these things.



It's not just the paint cans..they have to have their own on pretty much everything these days. Here's a picture of the boys doin a little "dance dance revolution". They love to dance!

Roosevelt 2008

Nate rented one of the SRP houses at Roosevelt after the 4th of July so the lake was pretty much empty..We had so much fun! Linde and Luke and their family, Tim and Tori, and Amanda and Kevin all came. I realize now I should have done a slide show for all these pictures but I was already half done and I couldn't pass them up so...

Shelbi doesn't like to water ski but her dad makes her so this is her "I'm Grumpy Face"

She really did have fun fishing, tubing, and hanging out with her cousins!

Here's Linde's boys enjoying smores

Aunt Tori, Harlee, and Kenzi on the tube! Unlike Shelbi, Harlee loves to water ski or tube!

The 4th of July

Here's Shelbi, Harlee, Marion, and Alex watching the parade and trying to get the most candy!

Dax was the stickiest little boy out there!

This little guy couldn't have cared less about the floats as long as he had a sucker he was happy!

This was Nate's favorite float....

I thought this picture was so cute of Grandma Nicoll and Grandpa Steve in the Artic Cat and its definately the way to watch the parade... in the shade and comfy seats.

I'm so thankful to live in such a great country, celbrating the 4th always reminds me of how blessed we really are.

I also wanted to wish Shelbi a Happy Birthday. She turned seven on the 3rd of July and we had a little party for her at my parents house, she's such a great kid and we love her. Thanks to all that came and for all the great gifts!
