Happy INDEPENDENCE Day!

Shauna, Cayden, Brayden, David, Me, Stu, Lyric, Grammy and Papa. (Jason had to work)
Happy Independence Day! What a better town to spend it in than INDEPENDENCE, KS! Grandpa Steve and Grandma Donna came down to visit us and we had a great time! And yes, Lyric does have a ponytail on top of her head, if you look really hard you can see it!We ran around and then kicked back and relaxed a little. Stu and Steve rode the bikes around and went down to the creek to shoot guns, and fireworks I'm sure. They brought down some great recipes and we even splurged and went to Southgate and had some yummy burgers. After a few tears and tiny rubber bands, we got PIG TAILS!!!
On the 4th Grammy, Papa, David, Shauna, Brayden and Cayden, and Jason joined us for food, fun and fireworks.

Hi Ho Hi Ho it's on Furlough we go!

Hi strangers! It's been almost a month since my last post. About time! Well, we are in the middle of our Cessna furlough and Dad and David are getting ready to head back to work on Monday. Stu doesn't go back until August 3rd. He has been able to spend a lot of quality time with Lyric and secretly hopes that his furlough is extended just a little while longer. They sleep in and then eat some breakfast and then it's back down for a nap! Two peas in a pod. He is a wonderful daddy and I love him so much for his dedication and love for his family.
Taking "Big Red" for a ride. Getting ready to swim at Grandma and Grandpa Goodwin's in Wichita.Mommy and Lyric taking a swim. Yes you two. It's time to get out of the pool!Papa and Lyric at cousin Brayden's T-Ball game. Her hair started out normal that morning and then she looked like a rooster. This is after her nap and during supper. YIKES!
I am excited to announce that I am a contestant in the "Colgate Country Showdown" in Coffeyville, KS on July 25th. I am going to be singing "If I Should Fall Behind" that Faith Hill did. I sang it at Shelley's wedding and I love the song. It will be a nice tribute to Shelley and Don!
