Terrible!!!!

Terrible's Lakeside that is! We had another fun filled weekend there. Who knew you could actually be surrounded by lush greenery and water in Pahrump!!! We were joined once again by the Hagan clan and this time Johnny and Junie were free to come out and play too. On Saturday Chuck and Gavin came over the hump and on Sunday Mike, Dee and the boys visited for the day. Both days were jam packed with so much activity the little ones, Bryn, Seth and Gavin, didn't stop long enough to take a nap. There was swimming, fishing, paddle boating, canoeing, bike riding, feeding the ducks and just hanging out. Food was way too plentiful and delicous, I'm sure we all gained 10 lbs! Good for some, so not necessary for others. lol :)Oh and a special thanks to Jen for introducing me to Magic Shell, YUMMY!!!! Anyways it always a great time when we get to be together as a family. We're so grateful to be blessed with good times and to be able to offer our girls great memories of growing up.
Now off to get ready for some more fun and memories to be had...Pismo in 16 more days!!!!! Sand, sun and fun here we come! Oh and did I mention nothing close to 100+ degrees!!!

Let's celebrate!

We had another wonderful Independance Day celebration. Once again bbq in the backyard with family and friends. Rob, Kristie and the boys were able to stop and stay the night with us on their way back to CA from their road trip. We had the regulars Grammy, Grampy and Nana, this time Leslie came too. Uncle Chris and Becky. Cato was able to join us after having been in the hospital for a few weeks (we're so happy he's free :)) so of course Robin, Shanna, Sheena, Joel, Stevie and Erin. Poor Matt had to work. Also this year the Pope family Mike, Dee, Zach and Alex our new neighbors, and their extended family were with us to celebrate. The kids swam all day and only came out when we forced them out to eat. Man to have their energy! We had great fun, lots of food and good conversation as usual. Us ladies even got a lesson in some real country line dancing by Grandma Pope, the lady sure can get down! :) Even though we're not allowed to set off fireworks we still got a beautiful show between the Pahrump Nugget and some people a few streets over. We all dragged our chairs over to the hill in the backyard and watched until all that was left in the sky were the beautiful stars to look at.
God bless America and thank You for the freedoms we have!
