Suzi with Brandon

Brandon watched Suzi last Saturday when John and I went to the lakes with some friends. Suzi had a blast.

Happy 4th of July

I think July 4th may be my favorite holiday. We got to go to Larry and Doris' (Joni's in-laws) for the weekend. We went down Friday night after John got off call. We ate as soon as we got there. The food is always good there. Then, Chris, Colin and their friend Brandon put off the fireworks. Chris always does the fireworks and it is always good. He does an excellent job. It's like seeing a real firework show. Better than that even.

Thanks - Chris.... It was awesome as usual.

Here are a few pictures of the kids fooling around.

Happy birthday Aunt Joni

Aunt Joni had a birthday. She actually had 2 parties. We had dinner at Mom's on her birthday. Then Chris had a surprise party for her on Saturday. Then, Sunday was Father's day. We had a lot of fun that weekend. The weather was great and so was all the food.

Busy, Busy

Sorry, it's been a while since I have updated. We've dealt with Chicken pox... and the dentist. Suzi had 4 fillings and 2 caps.

Suzi got her vacination for chicken pox, but, she still got a really mild case. And, guess what...so did Grandma Susie and Uncle Chris...

Smokey

Mom and Dad got a new kitten. His name is Smokey. He is adorable. And, really playful. I had forgotten how frisky kittens could get. Mom and Dad say now, that he likes to play hide and seak. He also likes it when they get the laser pointer out. He really is a good cat. Mom and Dad are crazy about him. And so is Suzi. We can't really have a cat because John and I are so allergic to them. So, Suzi can't wait to go over to Mammaw and Pap's to see him. She is always asking if Smokey misses her.

Mom wins big at Casino

Saturday, Mom, Dad, John and I were invited to an elete member party at the casino. They had free food and free alcohol. They also gave away a Total of $10,000. AND..... Mom won $5,000. Yea Mom!!! Can you believe it? We couldn't either. I have never seen so much money.

Thank goodness for Paula who kept Suzi over night. We were there until around 4am. It was wayyyyyyyy past my bed time.

Conviction

It's pretty bad when a 4 year old puts you under conviction. This is Suzi praying before she eats. She insisted that John and I fold our hands and close our eyes as she prayed. Needless to say, Suzi and I found a new church.....
