July Birthdays (3July out of 7)

July is a big Birthday Month and some fell on Sunday and we Celebrated Sunday Night.

Beautiful Sarah Celebrated her 19th with her favorite 
Reese's Chocolate Trifle

You have to have candles and the 
"Song".

Kim Celebrated her birthday with lunch and topped it off with  
Fried Ice Cream!

Halle's Mom will be at Girls Camp on Halle's birthday so we celebrated Sunday Night.
Halle's choice was a  

Orange Cream Cycle  Cake.
Delicious!

These big cute candles take a lot to blow out.
Not pictured but celebrated were, Drew, Laura, Brendan and McKay.



Sara and Rebecca took Halle to the Mall for her Birthday and went for a treat after.
What nice cousins to treat Halle like a "Queen" on her birthday.  (Halle's Mom left for Girls Camp this morning).


Cousins Summer Swim Party

 School is starting soon and The Cousins got together for Swim  Party.

Fun Times for all ages.




Pizza for the hungry Swimmers

National Gingersnap Day

My Mother, 
My Kid's Granny was the Queen of Gingersnaps.
Everyone loves them...
 So when Niece Emily called her Mother from Germany and told her it was 

National Gingersnap Day-
We knew we had to make Gingersnaps Sunday Night.

Three Problems:
 1. I didn't have enough flour
2. I didn't have enough Butter
3.  I didn't have enough Molasses 


So after sending out a Text asking for these three things
 (I did have a ton of Ginger)
We started making the  Family Reunion Size batch of Gingersnaps.
I had lots of help.
Brent and Loryn did most of the scooping.

Jake took over when his Dad got tired.

We would bring a pan out of the oven and it was gone before
they cooled off.

These boys started a game waiting on the cookies.
Mitchell, Sam and Nate.

Halle and Rebecca always keep the house mouse dressed for each Holiday.
Not a great Picture (Sorry Halle)

Jade loves playing with the train.

Seth was so good to get you a cookie or a bottle of water if you wanted it.
Half of our Family was out of town and we still had good group.
"Good Times".

Sister's

Steve is so good to his Mother and her Sister Aunt Gladys.
They don't get to see each other very often but Steve was able to take Aunt Gladys (93) out to see his Mother(90) and they were so glad to see each other.

Two Lovely Ladies still good friends.
