I have been so blessed by Mike and my dad's relationship!
I love my dad so much! Many tears were shed over this bittersweet departure but my dad despite it being hard has always, always rejoiced in us doing God's will, and loves chatting with Mike now about all that's going on.
We did A LOT of swimming this summer! Thanks to Mrs. Cathy and Mr. Warren we got to swim at Pine Canyon quite a few times this summer! The kids loved it and would literally do the water slide for hours.
FOURTH OF JULY!
We had only been in Rio Rancho for a few days when the fourth came up, so we decided to make it a fun day!
It was really hot in the sun!
My patriotic girl :)
Making pouty faces
The kids made out like bandits when it came to the candy! We had a great time at the parade and then we headed to see Despicable Me 2! Our family loves Despicable Me and Mike often talks like Gru and the kids think it's hilarious. We had a blast going to the movies. Kara slept through the second half and wakes up at the very end and says, "That was so good, can we go see it again!" Funny girl.
We tried Dion's, Albuquerque's local pizza place for dinner and went over to a friend's house to watch the fireworks. However, God's lightning fireworks show was more amazing then the real one but they were both fun to watch. It was just one of those really fun family days!
