Hannah's haircut


Hannah's hair has been growing out since last June when she went short for the first time & let her bangs grow out. She wanted it short again-shoulder length. She likes the cut but probably wants to go above the shoulder next time instead of below.

I wanted to post Joshua's 7th year pictures but neither the Mac or the laptop worked with the disc. I'll have to have Todd help me which could take some time. I did post them on Facebook so you can see them there or just wait. Sorry.

We're still getting school done. Hannah is officially in 5th grade & Joshua in 2nd. Joshua still cracks me up sometimes with his schoolwork. This time it was a quiz he took where he had to list the opposite of 2 words. Happy was the 1st word to which he wrote "unhappy". I know they were really looking for "sad" but I let him have it even though he was just adding a prefix. It was technically right.Next word was sweet. In my world, the opposite of sweet is sour. BUT, in Joshua's world the opposite of sweet is "bossy". Can you tell he has an older sister?

We have a couple more movies left to see on Thursdays. Hannah went to the VBS at our church a couple weeks ago and loved it. Hannah wants to get her hair cut short again. She has an appointment on Tuesday afternoon. She says she wants it to her shoulders again. We'll see what the stylist can do with her hair now that her bangs are much longer.

That's about the extent of our excitement.

4th of July






The 4th of July was our 13th wedding anniversary. I can't believe 13 happy years have flown by.

First, we went to the pool at the AFB for their "family fun free day". We were there from 11am-2pm. We didn't win any prizes but did participate in a coin drop game and we earned $6.50 in quarters between all four of us. They dropped quarters into the pool and you had to retrieve them. It was split up by age groups. The adults had to find them in the deep end-up to 12 feet deep. You couldn't jump/dive in so it was a little difficult to swim down 12 feet. Hannah put her money in her theater fund. I donated my money to her cause too.

After that we headed over to the Simpson's house for more swimming & BBQ. The kids swam almost the whole time we were there. We left around 7:30 pm to head back to the base for fireworks.

The base was busier this year than last year but we still got a parking space and waited about 40 minutes for the fireworks to start. We got a few freebies from some vendors. After that we headed home. Joshua fell asleep on the short trip home. They were exhausted!

Todd started to feel sick that evening & he's been sick all week. It was a sinus infection. He's got medicine now so he's on the mend.
