Kimball

Last week Kimball earned his wolf badge in Cub Scouts.  It was presented at the space derby pack meeting.  His rocket worked super.  He turned nine on Sunday, with celebrations starting Saturday evening!  He is a great kid.  We love Kimball.

Cool rocket with green glow in the dark stripes!  Kimball and Calvin exuberant that Kimball’s rocket won that race!

Hot dog roast at Uncle David’s and Aunt Heidi’s, guess how many hotdogs are cooking!

He had to try out the new squirt gun from Aunt Amy and Uncle Paul.

Smore cake for dessert…and marshmallows to roast, yummy!

Sunday afternoon, we had a treasure hunt to find the birthday presents.  The gifts were hiding in the back of the van.

He got a new bike and 3 bakugan’s.  The toys were by far the best.

more cake, more candles…what a lucky boy.

Driel and family came to join in the cake time festivities.

Celebrate Freedom

We enjoyed the 4th of July celebrations!  Of all the pictures I took, this picture of Sterling is my favorite freedom picture!

Hip Hip Hooray for the red, white, and blue….Gooooooooooo Freedom!

We enjoyed pre 4th of July time with Uncle Justin.  He came in on Thursday night or Friday morning depending how you look at it.  The kids woke up to the surprise of Justin being at our house!  We had some fun slip and sliders!  Ammon gave the kids a little help to get them actually sliding on their tummies.

Even Sterling went sliding…but he liked best to watch from the side line and play in the water!

Friday evening Grandma, Grandpa, and Chandler made it to town!  Sat the 4th was filled with a morning lake trip, bbq, pizza fest, popsicles and icecream and fireworks.

Chan and Kimball took the first ride.

Breezy and Grandma

Bridget, Logan, Moriah, and Kathy take it nice and easy!

fun times at home…Justin tossing the kids on to the tramp.

watching the little fireworks show.

Glow sticks at the end of the fireworks were the biggest hit of all!

It was super to have a full day of family, food, and fun.  Thanks to Justin we had enough icecream to satisfy all for days.  It was a great party day, a good celebration, we love freedom.
