More summer fun! July 4th - 11th

4th of July weekend
The Pruitt's came into town to celebrate the 4th at the church pic-nic.
Cooper and Caleb are instant friends every time they meet. Look how tall Coopie is!
Mimi watched the boys being crazy!
The girls had a blast making those hook lach pillow tops. I remember making one years ago, I was their age.
Chrispy got back from boyscout camp in time for lunch!
What a full table. We sure do miss the Pruitt's being in town.
Oh! this is on a train (choo choo) at the pic nic. Caleb loved it!
Here are the Farrell's next to us at the pic nic. The reason you don't see any guys is that they are setting off the fireworks! And the took my husband with them!
Caleb slept through the fireworks last year, but this year he was terrified! We had to go inside.
Here are the Pruitt's. Everyone having a good time, except the boy!
WE had a good picture last year, but it didn't work out this year. Too many shadows.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY!! THE BIG 4-0 40!
FOR AMY'S BIRTHDAY I PLANNED A TEA PARTY. I HAD HER GO REGISTER FOR NEW DISHES AND KITCHEN ITEMS AND SENT OUT INVITATIONS TO HER FRIENDS HERE IN TOWN. I ASKED SOME FRIENDS TO BRING FRUIT, BROWNIES AND SANDWICHES. THEN I HELD MY BREATH... WHAT IF NO ONE CAME? BUT...
LOOK AT ALL OF AMY'S FRIENDS THAT CAME! SHE IS SOOO LOVED AROUND HERE. SHE'S TOUCHED OTHERS LIVES THROUGH THE DIFFERENT MINISTRIES SHE'S INVOLVED IN.

I ENJOYED MAKING THE CAKE.
WE PLAYED A GAME WHERE EVERYONE GOT TO SHARE HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE AMY.

SHE MADE EVERYONE LAUGH WITH HER FUNNY COMMENTS.
MOM SAID SHE PROBABLY NEW HER THE LONGEST... 40 YEARS AND THEN TOLD HOW PROUD SHE WAS TO BE AMY'S MOTHER.

CALEB LOVED THE PRESENTS!
SHE DOESN'T LOOK 40, DOES SHE?
SHE GOT A NEW SET OF DISHES, SERVING PLATERS, PLACE MATS, GLASSES... TONS OF STUFF! SHE WAS SOOOOO EXCITED!
MRS. JEANIE PACE TOLD SOME FUNNY STORIES ABOUT AMY.
MOM ENJOYED BEING BY HER SIDE.
THE PRESENTS WERE AWESOME AND THEY KEPT ON COMING!
CALEB DROVE AROUND IN A MINI-COUP FUN HUH?

LONGVIEW BALLOON RACE.
EVERY YEAR WE TRY TO GET TO THE BALLOON RACES. THIS YEAR IT WAS COOLER THAN LAST YEAR, TEMPERATURE WISE. CHRISPY WAS AT A BOYSCOUT CAMP OUT SO HE DIDN'T GET TO GO.
GRANDADDY JUST GOT BACK FROM HIS DEEP SEA FISHING TRIP AND HE WAS SUPER EXCITED TO SEE HIS BOY.
THE FAMILY AT THE BALLOON RACE. THE BALLOON GLOW IS OUR FAVORITE PART OF THE EVENING. CALEB DID A LOT OF MARCHING WITH HIS FLAG.
LOOK HOW COOL THE BALLOONS ARE!
GRANDADDY AND CALEB RIGHT BEFORE THE FLAG WENT UP.



SUMMER FUN ALSO INCLUDES POOL TIME AT AMY'S,
DISC GOLF WITH DAD,

PLAYING IN THE PARK, ESPECIALLY SWINGING. THIS PART IS HALLARIOUS! CALEB TOOK MIMI'S HIGH HEALS FOR A SPIN. HE WAS GOOD AT IT TOO.
SCHOOL STARTS BACK ON AUGUST 17TH. I CAN'T BELIEVE OUR SUMMER IS ALMOST OVER! YIKES!

You're a good reporter, Becky! Now, you call your school and tell them that your birthday is on Aug 17 and you are taking the day off. Your mother says:-)
