Lagoon


We went to Lagoon on Friday. We had sooo much fun! We weren't sure if we were going to be able to go because we woke up to rain Friday morning, but it turned out to be a great day, well that is until about 7:00. We had just finished riding RattleSnake Rapids and the Log ride. We were pretty wet. Brett looks up and sees the darkest clouds headed our way. He said we better leave or we're going to get dumped on. Well the kids said "one more ride please!". So Maecee and I sat under a tree and watched as they stood in line at the Tidal Wave. Next thing you know it starts to sprinkle. I caught Brett's eye and he was shaking his head smiling. He knew what was coming. It started pouring sheets of rain. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen. People were running for cover and the streets were like rivers. They still went on the Tidal Wave and got pelted in the face with rain. All we could do was just laugh. I cannot believe how wet we all were. Luckily for some reason I had brought a change of clothes for everyone so we didn't have to drive home too wet. I had so much fun, I can't wait to go again.

Happy Father's Day








Happy belated Father's Day to everyone. Guess what Brett got to do for Father's Day???? Speak in church......lucky him, well actually lucky all of us. We all spoke yesterday (except Maecee of course). The kids did such an amazing job. I'm so proud of them. McKenna wrote her talk all by herself. I had no idea what she was going to say but it turned out perfect. Brett and I helped Ethan write his by suggesting different things and then he picked what he wanted to say. It was really cute. Brett also decided at the last minute to play O my Father on the cello. He did a great job!
I started to write this great Father's Day post and then...(mom I need a paintbrush).......okay I got a little distracted. That seems to be happening a lot these days. So here is a snippet of what I was going to write, and some good pictures. (mom I coughing so bad, I need some medicine).......okay I'm back again. It's bad enough that I seem to have the smallest attention span ever, but then I keep getting interrupted with cute little requests from my little ones. So what you see is what you get. I'm really behind on blogging so today between doing laundry, dishes, vacuuming, being the taxi, making lunch, etc, etc I will try to get some things posted on here. We have been so busy and loving every minute of it! We LOVE summer!

Maecee

Just so Maecee won't be left out of the crazy hair competition, we've decided to include pictures of her hair when she woke up one morning. She wakes up with some really funky hairdo's sometimes. So here we go...........

Getting some love from her brother. She looked at him the other day and said "EB your my best friend" It was one of the sweetest things I have ever witnessed. She loves her brother and sister.....most of the time.
The front view

The back view. I think she must do somersaults in her sleep to get it so ratty looking.
WE LOVE YOU MAECEE!
