Rodeo Gals and Great Grandma Mikesell

Well we have been to several Rodeo's this summer to see Kassie's girls ride. Jordyn has done very well and is so brave. Kids her age are usually assisted by a parent to do their event but she wanted to do the poles all by herself. And she did!! The crowd that was there kept saying look at that little girl doing poles all by herself. She is such a tiny little thing. She will be 5 in a month and you would never guess that by how tiny she is. She has won several ribbons this year on her events and she is so proud. Then there is Kamri!! She is brave also and boy can she ride!! She is such a natural when she rides. I love to watch her do the speed events because she is so aggresive and goes so fast on the horse. She was in the top 10 in her age group in the state and got a belt buckle which is a pretty big thing. We are anxious for Bridger to begin next year.
Then about a month ago Kim, Kassie and her kids went down to see Kim's mom for the day. They really enjoyed visiting with grandma and taking some pictures of the yard and of Grandma. She turns 85 September 3 so you never know how long she has left. Even though she is healthy. Grandma really enjoyed the kids. Grandma fed them lunch (of course that is what grandma's do). They don't get down to see her much so Kim was glad Kassie took the time to go see grandma. They had a great time feeding the ducks at Springlake and visiting Kim's sister Sharon. Kassie had her camera and took pictures so I thought I would post them. It will be good memories for the kids when they get older. They had a great day and we have really had fun watching the kids RODEO!! They are amazing.

4th of July FUN !!!!!!!

Fourth of July week was so much fun. It started out with a parade and lots of candy, and ended at Betsy and Gentry's house. Betsy's mom was nice enough to invite Kim, Kassie's family and I to the big 4th of July bash. We really had a great time. The kids swam and then we had a BBQ. The guys had fun playing basketball and the kids just had fun doing everything. Holidays are always so much fun spent with people you love.

4th of July FUN!!!!!

Happy Birthday Grandma and Summer Fun!!

Happy Birthday Grandma......... She is as old as Disneyland!!
So for my birthday this year I decided to have all the grand kids come over play games, watch movies and have a sleep over. So I did!! We had lots of fun. The kids played dress ups, and we played a few water games, jumped on the tramp and then we all finally went to sleep. What a fun Birthday!!
A few weeks later Betsy and Gentry went out of town for the weekend so I said sure I will baby sit while your gone. Of course I had to have the other three grand kids come join the fun. They really had a lot of fun in the small orange pool at grandma's. Mind you Betsy and Gentry have a full size pool and we did go there to swim but they had just as much fun in the orange $8.98 pool from Walmart and the slip and slide. They did an obstacle course that Kamri set up and it was so cute watching them go through it. Then we tye dyed shirts red, white and blue. They had a great time doing this, it was so easy and fun. They loved their shirts and I think they wore them the rest of the time they stayed here and even slept in them.
They always love playing dress ups when they come to grandma and grandpa's. They each have their favorite outfit to wear so I took a few pictures.
Anyway my Birthday was so much fun and as always it is never dull when you have 6 at the same time !!I say it is just six times the fun!! What a fun June we had. More pics coming later from the 4th of July!!
