And after a long day at the fair, this is what you can find! We came home and Brylee went right down to her bedroom, got a blanket and took a nap for about an hour!!!! Being at the Fair sure does wear you out!!!! LOVE to ALL!!!!

Cats!

Since getting our kittens, they have grown to be cats. But, Brylee still loves to mother them!

Well, at the first of last week they brought over all the soccer equipment. I couldn't find Brylee one afternoon. When I finally did find her, this is what I found!!!! Brylee and "Milky Way" taking a nap!!!! Yah Right!!!!!
The cat was pretty content, but I still made her let it go!
They are GREAT cats and have been catching at least one mouse a piece every morning! We hope they continue to be GREAT mousers!!!!

More Pics

While taking pictures with our visitors, I couldn't help but snap a few pictures of my girls!

Lizard the Blizzard!!!!

Yes, all my girls have nicknames!!!! Lizzy probably has the most! She has a different nickname from several different people! She knows them all and she can respond when they call on her!!!!

I LOVE my girls!!!!!

Visitors

Last Sunday some of our GREAT friends from Washington came to visit! We were so excited to get to see them and catch up! We wish they could have stayed longer!!!

While they were here, they wanted to take some pictures around some of the older buildings in town, so we took them in to the old train tracks and some of the buildings there! Brylee Bones and Sarah Bones!

Sarah has called Brylee, "Brylee Bones" since she could say her name.

So now they both have that nickname!!!!

Four Girls!

They are they cutest girls and we just love this family!

Thanks for coming to stay! Next time stay longer! Love you guys!!!!

Preston Parade

Last weekend was also that "Famous Preston Night Rodeo, Carnival and Parade!!!" We went to the parade and carnival on Friday night! We were so happy we picked Friday, 'cause on our way over Bo's little brother called. He had his boys and were waiting for the parade to start! We sat by them and then we all went to the carnival together! Kathy and her kids came with us! We had a blast! Liam! He is A*DOR*A*BLE!!!!
Atticus, Liam and Zeb! They are truly boys! They wrestled each other while we were waiting for the parade to start!

Picking up Candy during the parade!

More Candy and silly faces!!!!

After the parade, we went to the carnival, spent a few hours and then got ready to head home. When all the tickets were gone, Brylee looked at us both very seriously and said, "I really wanted to go to the rodeo!" Maybe next year!!!

Bo and I decided that the parade was fun, the carnival was better, but our local 4th of July parade has to be the BEST!!!!!

Sorry no pics of the carnival. I didn't want to pack my camera around, but I wish I would have!!!!

Softball Summer Slam

So last weekend was the Softball Summer Slam. Ashlee was able to participate on a Mix and Match team. They had a lot of fun and we really enjoyed going and supporting her!!!!

Go Ash!!!!

Little League Tournament

Last weekend was the 51st Annual Little League Baseball Tournament. Some how Bo ended being the "Director" for the tournament. He did a GREAT job! Justin was on one of the All-Star teams. Justin received MVP for his team!!!!! He got his team out of a couple of bad spots singly handedly!!!! He is one AWESOME baseball player!!!!
Justin swinging at the ball!
He even pitched a couple of innings!!!!

We are glad it is over, but we had a lot of fun!!!!

Peas

During Swimming Lessons I was able to get my first picking of peas. We podded them, blanched them, and then put them in freezer bags. Everyone was amazed that I actually have peas to freeze!!!! My girls just aren't big raw pea fans and so they all go in the freezer for later use!!!Aren't they pretty?Three bags!!!! I was impressed!! I got two more bags on Sunday!!! I am super excited!!!!!
