We had a great 4th of July! The Chatham family came down a day early to help our family get ready for an amazing crowd! I just wish their short visit could have been longer... but we had a blast! Food, lots of girl talk, filling 800 water balloons, more food, movies, church, and then the big party!

:) ~Thanks to the Chathams for being great and awesome friends!
You all are such a blessing to me and my family!~ (:

braiding hair / random life

Yesterday was "braid day" for Camie...7 hours and 63 braids later and this is what you get! Doesn't she look so cute! Today is "braid day" for Emma...she will be getting blue beads.

This is not a very good picture, but I was so happy you can see the lightning in it!

My "favorite" cousin Natalie was recently in the hospital for heart trouble (please pray for her~thanks!). We were able to stop in for a short visit to remind her that we love her. The triplet's gave Natalie coloring books and a 64 box of crayons. Just what they would have wanted if they were in the hospital!

Life has been busy! Fishing, thunder storms, hospital, braiding hair, salamanders and tons of other stuff! And right now we are getting ready for the 4th...100 people...so I need to be quick!!! (:

The humidity has finally hit us... UGH!!! But we still find a way to fish (: Also Dad found a salamander when working on a garden for Dennah. I forgot how much I love those things!!! I was very sad to let it go. ):

The triplets African side shows a lot in this weather. The other day Camie went out side (it was up in the HIGH 90's and humid!) she swung her arms out and spun around and said... "Finally! It's perfect out here!!!" Hahahaha, I think she is crazy!!! She is the one who almost always has a jacket on when shes in the house!

Happy 4th of July to everyone!!
