After Brady's game last Saturday, Christy invited all of us to a picnic. We really enjoyed ourselves. They outdid themselves. We wanted to thank them for such a great time!!


I have to share this with everyone. We were riding home after the picnic. I asked Brady if he said the Pledge of Allegiance at school. He said, "Yes, why?" We went on to talk about the government trying to keep God out of the schools. Then we talked about the government trying to take "In God We Trust" of the money. He told us, "Our country needs God". He immediately bowed his head, clasped his hands and said a prayer right there. If this doesn't show that he is one special little boy, I don't know what does.

We all went to Brady's ballgame. Here Katie, Brady, Kendal and Izzie are enjoying being together after the game. Katie's knee was very sore by the end of the day. She had one major sun burn.
Kendal made her way to Brady. When Brady was up to bat, he made it to first base. Kendal and Roo was sitting in the grass near first base. She said, "Yea Gray"!! Then she stuck her thumb up in the air for him.
She made it to her big brother!!

What is a picinic withouth a little baseball.

THE BOYS SEEM TO BE HAVING A GOOD TIME!! I'm sure someone is the victim of their laughing.
Kendal seems to be telling Christy a big one.


Pam and Katie had to the bathroom. When they came out, they turned left. They must have been looking for something. Of course, everyone decided that they were looking for toilet paper, or a leaf!!
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

GOOD MORNING, KENDAL!!

She decided that riding in the back of the VW was a great ride!!

Of course, the "old pro" enjoyed teaching her what to do!!!

While we were riding down the road, Miss Priss told Brady not to touch her. Well, as you can plainly see, she changed her mind when Brady started tickling her. They do so love each other.

Even if I do say so myself, I do believe that the flowers in these two pictures are beautiful.
There were so many peonies (in the top picture) that I had five bouquets this size in the first cutting. The group home across the street seemed to really like the ones I gave them.

Brady and Kendal got to spend the night with us. Brady was so exited that Kendal was there that he kept asking if he could wake her up. Finally, Kanga told him to go for it. It was so sweet. He leaned over and gently kissed her on the forehead and told her to wake up. She wasn't exactly ready to wake up, but when she saw that it was Brady doing the waking, she started smiling.
MY BIG BROTHER IS SO SPECIAL!!

She looks like she hasn't decided about Kanga yet.
