Today was fun! I went to church this morning and it was another great sermon from our new Pastor. We had some great patriotic music too. We went out to eat and then to swim for a little bit. We had to get out when it started to thunder and lighten. It never did rain, but it was so windy it blew the swing over. It was soon time to go to the church picnic. It was fun as always, but a little sad to leave without having the big fireworks show. The kids had all worked hard decorating their bikes and wagons and the parade was fun! Taylor and Logan had their bikes decorated with star streamers, a flag, a pinwheel that Logan thought was cool because it spun when it rode! They had some light up flags to hold, but they didn’t carry them. It is a stop and start sort of thing and I didn’t want them to fall or poke themselves trying to hold it. They loved it and smiled all the way around. After the parade it was time to go. Like I said, it was sad to leave and not get to see the fireworks, but we did get Pleasant Hill fireworks. The kids stood on the stge and jumped on bubble wrap while the youth popped those hand held things that shoot confetti. It was cute

Taylor was so excited when he saw a special guest come in. He was acting up and Jim said, “I see Mrs. Thornton coming in”. I thought he was saying it to calm him down, not that we use Mrs. Thornton as a threat. (I promise Mrs. T!!!) I just thought maybe he pulled that our of thin air, but it worked, he got so focued on looking for her that calmed down. However, daddy wasn’t messing with him, she really was coming in. He was shy and didn’t want to go up to her, but once he got to her and loved on her and talked about her all night. Oh how we will miss her next year!

Please be in prayer for Taylor as he continues to beat cancer. Pray for all our friends who are fighting too.
