Happy Birthday, Ryon!

(Zoe) Yesterday we watched Ryon, Jackson, Alexa, and Austin for a few hours. Today is actually Ryon's 7th Birthday, ( Happy Birthday Ryon! ), so since we would not be able to see them today Ryon got to open his present from us, which included Dart Tag, Colorful Bandages, and a T-shirt that had the United States on it. Here are some pix:

Ryon was very happy

Some More Pictures from the 4th Of July....

Here's the fire... You've just got to have a fire on such an occasion... :)

And then, since there actually was people there, I took Pictures of some of those people....

Those are the firework setter- uppers extraordinaire!!!
Random people getting sparklers.. They look concentrated.
That is definitely Zoe... No doubt about that.

Michael... Eating his FIRST S'more EVER!!!!

The 4th Of July.....

(Mattea) Sunday, we were able to go to the Tucks and enjoy an Awesome Fun party.... which included food, fellowship, fun, fireworks and many other exciting things. :) First, to begin the fun, we were the first people to arrive. WOW!!! Second, to keep going with the fun, we waited for people to come. (well, that's not that fun-so that can't be the only thing...) And then, when people came, we launched the water balloons at Michael & Braden. After that, us kids tried to be the circus. We tried to ride Braden's and Moses' unicycles. And, the Tuck kids' stilts...
Also, since everyone needs food to survive, we had food. Delicious food, too..
Then..... KICKBALL!!! :)
The two team captains were Michael Merriman, and Mr. Gollehon. The two teams were:
Team 1: Michael, Chloe, Christina, Moses, Kyle, Zoe, Claire, Mattea, Braden, Tiffany, Gabriel, Mr. Vacossin, & last but not least, Jonathan Haas.
Team 2: Mr. Gollehon, Brant, Ian, My Mom, Mrs. Haas, Nicci, Tad, Mrs. Vaccosin, Cori, Carrissa, and Ian McEwen. I think that's all.
After a hard, difficult championship game... Anyways, long story short, the team I was on, won. And they were NOT easy on us either! There is no doubt about it, we won!!! It was a 21 point game... and, my awesome team got 21 points exactly!!!! It was difficult, but since our team is so AWESOME, we totally got through it perfectly fine!!
So, after kickball, we get the highlight of any 4th Of July..... Fireworks!!!! :)
Here's some pix of the super cool fireworks:





And Then Sparklers.....

Late Nights with "Sis"

(Mattea) Last night......
We were able to stay up with our (Zoe & I's) sister Cali. We stayed up until 12:30 watching ,"Little House On The Prairie" and "You Lucky Dog"; Hallmark movies that they recorded.
The COOL thing about older sisters is, that they are extremely nice to you.... :) And, being the wonderful older sister that she is, Cali allowed us to have popcorn, ice cream, gummy bears etc... Thanks Cali!!! :) You're the Awesomest Sister EVER!!! We had a great time! After having a lot of fun, we drove home. Then sleepily got ready for bed at 1:20 ish in the morning.
