The Roughriders

Not too much has been going on around here. Luke and Jake are having a good summer. Luke went to VBS at my parents church this week at night time. Thursday night was Hawaiin Falls night. We were there for 1 hour before a major storm came and we had to leave. Saturday we took Jake to his first sporting even, the Roughriders game. It was fun, but he wanted to walk around everywhere. The boys are playing so good together lately. What fun two boys are!!

The restrictions have been lifted!!

After a year of the drought, our water restrictions have finally been lifted. For Luke, that means slip and slide!! Poor kid, we bought a slip and slide last year and he was able to play with it once before we had water restrictions. I mean, we come in the middle of the night and turn off water. Our neighbor watered when he was supposed to and they water people came and turned his water off at 4 in th morning because there was too much water on the sidewalk. Our was turned of for some rule we broke, I cannot even remember. The great thing about ours was they never told us so I grass was so dead until we realized the water outside, including the sprinkler system, had been off for over 3 weeks. So Luke was able to slip and slide this weekend. We also took Luke to Six Flags Sunday. How fun!! He rode all the big rides and was not scared at all. He only rode 2 rides in Looney Toon land at the very end. Jake went to my parents for the first time and had so much fun. He loved playing with the dogs. We are so excited he had a good time with Granna and Papaw. Jake never gets to go with them by himself.

Luke is Home!!

After 11 days in Colorado, Luke has come home. He had an awesome time with Scott's parents and the older 2 cousins. Here is a list of the things I know he did...

1. Children's Museum

2. Had breakfast and dinner at the fire station ( Scott's dad is a volunteer fireman)

3. Rode on top of the firetruck and had a watergun fight in a parade.

4. Went to the Aquarium

5. Went to a Medeival festival

6. Went to a dinosaur museum

7. Went to the butterfly pavilion

8. Went to the movies

9. Went bowling

10. Went to the amusement park

11. Went fishing alot

12. and last but not least, He had his first taste of Mountain Dew ( he said "it just tastes like sprite, Mom.")

Anyways he had a very busy week and is extremely tired. He was so excited to see Jake. He would not let go of him. We are glad he is back, but we are so happy he had such a good time. Thanks to Gammy and Grandaddy.

Happy 4th of July

What a crazy week it has been. Last weekend we were pretty busy again. On Friday, Scott's dad flew in from Colorado. On Saturday we went to a cookout at our college friends house. On Sunday, we drove to Munday (31/2hours away) and back to go to Scott's grandmothers bday party. We came home to my brother and his family at our house from Tulsa. Luke left to go to Colorado on Monday for 10 days. We miss him so much and we have 6 days left. So we thought we would have quality time with Jake, wrong!! He decided to get hand, foot, and mouth. So he is in a great mood. Did I mention my brother and his wife have a 3 month old that stayed at our house? Well, it was a fun week. I have attached more pictures of Jake than Luke, because he is here. Look at how big Jake looks compared to the baby. He is big, and she is tiny, only 10 pounds, but he looks like a big kid. Also note, he loved to sit in her bumbo, last year, when he was her age he could not fit in a bumbo, his legs were too fat. Hope you have a good rest of the week. Oh yes, I forgot, Scott taught Luke how to spit sunflower seeds. That is what they are doing in the back of the truck. They had to sit in the back of the truck to do it. It was pretty funny to watch.

Also, I have decided to walk the 3day walk for breast cancer again this year. If you are intereted check out my website www.the3day.org/dallas07/bethanderson. If you are able to donate, I would truly apprectiate it. If not, now big deal, please pray for me and my teammates as we train and prepare for the walk.
