Moving Shelly

Zack, Grandpa Bird and Dad Bird made this shelf in Shelly's new garage. My kids wanted to sit up on it. The boys started moving Shelly at 7am. They were all done at 10am. They did a wonderful job.

Happy Birthday Zack!!

Happy Birthday to Zack, Craig and Keri

Broken down Van

Our Van broke down in front of Shelly's house. It is not fun when your car brakes down. We were very blessed that it happened in front of Shelly's house and that we knew the mechanic at the Nissan Dealership. Jason had worked for Dad Bird and had been our mechanic when he lived in Palmdale.

Playing with Cousins

I brought Michael and Bryn home and Lynette keep the older kids and bowled more. Michael and Bryn are two and sometimes have a hard time sharing etc. We we got home they were playing so well together. They were dancing then hugging each other.

They were so cute!

Cooling Off

We got the slip in slide, water guns, pop cycles and blue bucket out to cool off. Michael and Bryn were taking their naps.

The kids had lots of fun. They all got in the blue bucket calling it their "pool".

Thanks Williams for coming. :) :)

One of the days while the Williams were here visiting we went bowling. The kids had a ball. We got Michael and Bryn their own lane. They had so much fun.

Thanks for coming to visit us. Love you!!

Swimming with Cousins

Chelsea and the kids came into town to visit. They came to Camarillo for a day to visit. McKay and Rachel have a pool in their housing community. We made a picnic and went swimming for the day. We had lots of fun!! We miss you Chelsea, TJ, Jared and Hallie. We love you all!!!
This is Jared showing us how he is learning to swim. He did a GREAT job. He swam from one end to the other with out help.

Hallie and Bryn. They keep coming over getting into all the food. So cute!!

TJ and Ty
Mac and Rachel. Look in the back ground at Anna. She still had her splint on so she could not go swimming all the way. She was such a good sport. I love the plastic bag.

Rocket Derby -- July 2009

Singing and Dancing

Brad -- he is always smiling. I love this picture of him.

If you have read any of our earlier post you will know that we went to the Annie play in St. George, Ut with McKay's family.

Rachel, McKay, Zack and I decided that was the best money we spent this summer. Our girls sing the songs from Annie all the time. When Lori, Carly and Anna get together they are singing, dancing all of the Annie songs.

The pictures above are one of these times.

July Birthdays

Rachel T. made this cute cake. Everyone loved it.
We went to Camarillo to celebrate the July Birthdays. (Missed you Leanne)
Happy Birthday Mac, Alisa, Leanne, Bryn and Zack!!

I know I have lots of pictures in the car. This is how I entertain Bryn. If she is having a hard time I get the camera out and she usually starts smiling. Bryn and Lori were playing dress up before we came. You can tell by looking at Lori.
