Here is the float for the Cherry Day's 4th of July parade that the girls were in. Jeff was so excited to pull this float. Had a great 4th with family and friends that came over to b-bque, have a water balloon fight, and watch fireworks.

Summer fun

The girls were in the Little Miss Harrisville Pagent in June. They had a fun time. So cute!

Vaction to Oregon

I have been slacking in getting the blog done-but now that school is back in session I can get a few things done.
Our summer started with a trip to Oregon to visit family. My aunt and uncle live in Pendleton and Jeff's parents live in Keiser. It was a great vaction and we did alot of things. On the way to Keiser we stopped in Cascade Locks to see the town and the Sternwheeler, Bonneville dam/fish hatchery, and Multnomah Falls. The girls had never seen such a large waterfall. We rode MAX(their version of TRAX) into Portland and went to the water front to see the Navy ships that had come in. They were letting people take tours-so we did that.
We spent a full day at the coast-going to Lincoln City and Newport. The girls thought that was awesome to finally see the ocean and play in the sand on a real beach. They could have spent days out there. Jeff even got the barbie kite to fly!! The Newport Living Sea Aquarium was fun to see.
Went to the Portland Zoo and saw alot of things that they had never seen.
The girls had a great time visiting with grandpa & grandma. I think the highlight of the whole vaction for Jeff was going up in a small airplane with my cousin Scott. He even let Jeff fly the plane and gave him some instruction.

School is out as of May 29th. Now the fun begins. We went to Rock Springs, WY, for a couple days to see Jeff's cousin Kyle graduate from high school(scroll down to check out the pictues of fun times in Rock Springs). It was a fun visit with family. After the gradution they had a party at this neat park. We played frisbee golf and caught horny toads. Jeff attempted to catch lizards but they were just fast.
Our next adventure for the summer begins tomorrow when we head for Oregon for 9 fun days. This is our first big vaction trip with the girls.

Kindergarten Graduate!

Wow! Can't believe that Sydnee has graduated from kindergarten. Such a big girl now.

On Memorial Day we took the girls to the cemetarty to visit Great Grandpa & Grandma Hogde's grave. It was the first time that we had done anything like that with them. They decided to draw pictures to leave there.

Machine pitch and T-ball have begun

Sydnee is on a t-ball team named the Harrisville Tigers. She is doing great this year-she will be ready for coach pitch next year.

Shaylee has started in machine pitch ball this year. Here she is being the catcher for this inning.
