She is a CHEERLEADER

Getting Ready to Stunt

The 1st Pyramid

Cute cheerleader!

Ok, it's official. Rachel is a really good Scottsboro Wildcats Cheerleader and had her 1st "Pep Rally" kind of thing Saturday. She stunted and cheered for the parents in the gym that was about 100 degrees... Seth was REALLY bored. Katie was really supportive. Even Adam got to watch. Usually he is working. Here are some pics. Katie has band camp all week so Friday I will post pics of her band stuff if she lets me...

Kitty Bo

Meet Kitty Bo

Shhh... she is not supposed to be inside... We couldn't resist sneaking her in the first day we had her. She loved curling up with everyone.
What a face! Seth is in love with his new kitten. Her name is Bo because she looks like Adam's childhood pet Kitty Bo.

Too cute! She is a good kitten so far and the kids love her. She hides under the front steps and jumps out and surprises the kids.

And We Danced... More Fabulous Fourth

After the fireworks we danced a while as we waited on the crazy traffic. Our guitar guy played a lot of oldies that the kids didn't recognize but it was still fun watching them dance. Somehow I managed to get Adam to dance with me and let the kids record it. He put up some resistance but I think he had fun. We probably embarrassed the kids a little, but they'll live. Seth even slow danced with me but I will keep my word and not post the video on the blog. You're welcome Seth.

Adam's favorite part of our 4th of July was "dancing with his sweetheart." Awww... Michelle's was being able to snuggle up with the family watching fireworks. Katie's fav. part was the music from our guitar guy. (He is good) Rachel's favorite parts were the fireworks and dancing afterwards. Seth said his favorite part was watching fireworks while eating marshmallows. But I know it was really slow dancing with mom. Just kidding.

We are blessed to live in such an awesome country and look forward to many more years of watching fireworks on the last pier at Goosepond. Fun times...

The Fabulous Fourth of July!

This year we decided to go all out and let the kids paint their own shirts for the 4th... At the diningroom table :( ... I helped Rachel and Adam helped Seth. Katie is very artistic and knew exactly how she wanted her's. Seth went a little crazy with the paint and had to paint his sleeves and everything. He doesn't agree that less is more... The table is fine and the shirts looked really good. I think they want to do it again next year.

Every year we are lucky enough to get to go to Goosepond and sit on the dock and watch fireworks. There is always a guy playing the guitar and we dance and play before and after the actual fireworks. It is so nice to be out on the water watching the show. It seems like the fireworks are right above us.

This year we stayed and danced until about 11:00, just waiting on the traffic. I even got Adam to dance with me. Hopefully I will be able to post photos and video of that. It's pretty funny. I think last year we embarrassed the kids, but this year they knew what to expect. All in all it was a wonderful holiday.
