Happy Birthday America!!

Fourth of July usually spent with the Kammeyers and this year did not disappoint. 

 

 

This year Josalyn and I were determined to SEE the fireworks! So we had parked a car in the Arrowhead area, had dinner at Fuddruckers,

 

And when it got near we parked our tushies at our cars and waited for the action!

The kids played with sparklers...

 

until the fun began!  I thought for sure Leia would be scared by the noise but she loved it!!!

 

So happy we could keep up the annual tradition!!

Happy Birthday America!!!

Family Pictures

We had family pictures taken this morning.

Of course I chose the hottest day of the summer!

But Landon is leaving soon and I didn't have much choice.

A friend of ours (Scott Gulledge) took them for us.

 

Here are a few of my favorite...

 

 

The kids did NOT cooperate on their solo pics..

 

It was hot, the sun was in their eyes...they were NOT happy.

We'll do it again when Landon comes back in November and it is cooler outside.

The Dude!!

Nick found this rocket at goodwill called "The Dude!" It was still sealed so the boys along with his brother Dan and crew (Dan's girlfriend Jackie, her son Bentley -Landon's age, and Hannah) launched the rocket this weekend. Twice

 

Here are the videos of the launches:

*warning a swear word is said in one of the videos*

 

 

 

 

Nick finds the coolest things...

Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!!

 

Our day was filled with fun!!

 

 

 

Landon and Nick went to see the new Iron Man 3 movie! They loved it!

 

The kids gave Daddy his gifts

 

 

Landon made him a card..

 

I updated the “DAD” picture..

(getting Leia to cooperate with this was WAAAAY harder than I expected! ugh!)

 

and the kids made him some handprint art..

 

I got him t-shirts for sleeping and socks! He’s always running out of both all. the. time.!

 

Later that night we went to Gpa & Gma’s house for dinner! And gave Gpa and Grandpa Bob their ‘Stache jars too!

 

 

Papa will get his at dinner tomorrow night!

 

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!

 

*sorry about the pictures, not sure what is going on there...

We Gonna Party Like It's Your Birthday!!

 

Today we celebrated this little lady's birthday!!

 

 

She loved opening her gifts

 

 

Then came her cake...

 

 

 

She dove right in. I was affraid that she would be shy since everyone would be watching her

 

But she was a champ!

She is loved by so many people and Nick and I are very thankful that the people we love shared this happy day  with us

 

 

Happy Birthday Leia!!!

 

Nick's Anthem

I'm not sure if any of you have heard this song, but it is awesome and is totally Nick! And although the song is awesome the video makes it 1,000 time better!

 

Just watch.

Warning this song has some curse words...

Farewell 2012

For New Year’s Eve I wanted to stay closer to home. My mother-in-law’s neighbors were having a “block” party so we joined in!

However it was FREEZING outside!!

Landon and the neighbor kids roasted marshmallows.

Leia was asleep

and then she was awake. She wanted in on all the fun.

Josalyn and her family came over

The girls and I did some Jello shots!!

hehe!!

Landon and Delaney chilled out watching The Lorax!

Party Animals!!!

We lit some sparklers for like half a second cuz it was FA-REEZING!!

Josalyn cracks me up!

 

Laters 2012!!

Christmas Chaos

With lots of family Christmas is always busy.

So here is a quick low down on our Christmas Day.

(Yes, I said DAY. This was all in ONE day!)

Christmas morning at “home”

Landon woke up at 4 AM! Nick told him he had to wait for the rest of us to get up. He had to stay on the couch! Surprisingly he stayed there and feel back to sleep for a couple hours ‘til the rest of us woke up.
