Wow!! I know it's been a long time since I last updated the blog. I figured it was due time to do just that, being that I have to start back to work in a little over a week. So, I will pick up where I left off....
The fourth of July; a time of celebration with family. It is our tradition to accompany some of our family memebers to Lake Nocona every year for the fourth, and this year was no different. Before we headed out to the lake, we took some family photos out by the flag. God Bless the USA!!!!
I just love this picture!!! She is such a happy girl!!!
Mackenzie got to experience her first boat ride. She loved it. She sat in the back of the boat and said "Whoo-Hoo!!" pretty much the entire boat ride. I could even hear her while I was tubing. Yes, you did see that correctly. I did tube.

Mackenzie and cousin Kassi in the back of the boat!!! They are just big girls!!!
Mackenzie and daddy in the front of the boat. We stopped long enough to allow Rusty to swim out to the tube. He was the first one to venture out on the rough waters.
Mackenzie and daddy again.
As I said before, Rusty was the first one to brave the choppy waves on the tube. Then, it was Nathan, and since I told Nathan that if he rode the tube, I would after he did. And so, the rest is history.
This is Rusty on the tube.
This is Nathan on the tube.
Here I am on the tube!!!
I think I am about to be thrown off the tube, being that I am almost off of it anyway!!
Ok, so back on shore. talk about being beat up by the waves. Man, was I sore. Anyway, the girls enjoyed smoke bombs and snakes (kiddie fireworks) on the banks. They also threw poppers up against the tree. They got a kick out of that.
I have to include one picture of the fireworks that we shot off. I don't know how my camera did what it did, but I thought it was pretty cool!!!
