Plat I Resevoir

Sunday after church we went to walk around at the reservoir by our house. There were a lot of families there. Kids were swimming in the brown mucky water and fishing for crawfish. There were a couple boys that we were helping catch them and they even let Holly and Carson have a turn. They really liked that and then Carson got to touch a crawfish and it pinched him. He cried for awhile and then he was over it and ready to start catching more. It's nice to have the reservoir and the river so close to enjoy.

Holly lost her first baby tooth

Holly was playing with this loose tooth for a few days and I kept trying to take it out for her. I know nice mom, but she would freak out as soon as I tried to get it out. Then last night 7/13/10-I finally told her it needs to come out and she was very brave. I finally got that stubborn little tooth out and she was so happy. She was crying and getting really upset and then when it came out she said, "That didn't even hurt!!" She was smiling and laughing and kept looking in the mirror where her space is now! The picture shows her puffy eye face because she was crying! I got a little treasure box for her tooth from work and she was very excited to put it under her pillow. The Toothfairy came last night and Holly got a $1. I told her that the Toothfairy must have thought she was very brave to get a $1. That was a fun experience! Now Holly keeps showing everyone her gap in her smile and her big tooth coming in!

Chris' Birthday

Chris turned 36 on July 10th and we celebrated his Birthday on Sun. the 11th. Chris wanted carne asada dinner-so I made him dinner and a peanut butter chocolate cake-since he loves peanut butter. I will have to brag and say that everything turned out great! I was very impressed with myself! Chris got a Wii from us with some racing games. I told Chris he has to share and now the kids love playing the Wii everyday! It is a fun family time and Holly and Carson love playing the sport games. It was Graffitti Weekend (car show in Roseburg) last weekend and that was fun for Chris. He went to all the car events from Thurs-Sat. and put the '64 Buick in the car show with his local car club, the Road Tramps. That was probably the best part of his Birthday weekend.

4th of July celebration!

We had a nice relaxing weekend for the 4th. We had a picnic at Stewart Park in Roseburg and watched fireworks at the park. It was really nice and not too crowded like I had expected. This is the first year that Carson was able to enjoy the fireworks-since we didn't see any last year. Both Holly and Carson really liked the fireworks-it was cute to watch them.
