Family day... July 10, 2009

Today we had a family fun day. We started it off by cooking a rotisserie chicken. Andrew loves them from Walmart, so I bought a rotisserie cooker and we tried it out. It took us forever to prepare the chicken. We didn't know how to tie its legs, so we had to go online and watch a How To video. After figuring it out, it had to cook for 2 hrs. The kids were hungry and Andrew stood there and watched it go round and round forever. Lunch was ready at 12:30... When we sat down to eat Andrew insisted on eating the legs. It was a good chicken. You would have thought it was Christmas morning by the excitement in the kids voice. After lunch, we went outside and I dangled in my pool... The kids love to swim and that is all we have for now, but they have so much fun in that little thing. While we played outside it became supper time. We cooked jalapenos on the grill with cheese and bacon. The kids had sausage and corn. It was a small meal because we had ate so much for lunch. After all of the backyard fun we went to watch firecrackers. Frank had called and invited us to go with him because it rained they had postponed it to the 10th.

The Hayes' went with us to watch the fireworks. We took the kids to the park across the street and let them slide down some slides and then watched a beautiful 15 minute firework show. Mallory didn't really like the fireworks and I felt sorry for her, but the rest of the kids love them. After that we came home and went to bed. The next day we woke up and went to Elk City for the family reunion.

My least favorite ride.... The Pirate Ship.... Andrew of coarse loved it.

Jason and Jaden after the rapids.. They were both soaked. Andrew wouldn't let me take pic.

The Lasso Express.. My first coaster with dangling feet... Scared me more than the kids.

I put the kids in jail

Soaked from the rain

Yesterday we had a wonderful time at Frontier city. It was our first time to go and we all enjoyed it so much. As soon as we got there, it started to rain. We ran into one of the building and it said Bob the Builder in 5 mins. We watched the show and when it was over the rain had stopped. We got to ride a ton of roller coasters and other rides. After we had fun there, we went to Chuck E Cheese's for Jacob's Birthday party. He turned 5. All in all it was a fun day.

A day on the Golf Course

Yesterday we went golfing... We had a blast. It was beautiful outside. I realize I am not good at all and I have never hit the ball all the way to the hole, but it is still nice to be outside. Driving the carts is fun too. I let Jade take the wheel. There is a reason kids can't drive til 16. She felt like a big girl. Andrew got out and putted on the greens. Maybe someday, they will be my pros.

4th of July

We had a wonderful time in Guymon. The firework show was beautiful and we also popped a few out in the street. Most of the day was spent floating in the pool.. It was my kind of day.

Andrew's Birthday!!!

For Andrew's Birthday, we decided to do something different, we asked him what he wanted to do. I figured since he was turning 7 he might want some of his friends from school to be able to come. Evey year in the past we have celebrated in Guymon. He told us that he wanted his party at Jump Zone. We had a blast jumping on the inflatables with all of our friends. There was 18 kids there. We had his party on July 2nd because we figured a lot of people would be out of town with it being July 4th weekend. On July 3rd we drove to Guymon and had a little party with family and also fireworks.
