Happy independance Day weekend!

Look at what I made!
{I'm so proud of myself}
Happy Independance Day weekend everyone!!!!

Independance celebration with my family

We went to my parents last night to celebrate the 4th of July. One of my younger brothers has been in Officer Training School for the Army for the last 5 1/2 months. He was finally home and so we had all of my siblings and their families meet at my parents for a bar-b-que.
 My grandpa came as well.
Here he is with his newest great~grand baby, my older brothers girl, C.

Here's my Grandpa, my brother, his baby and my dad.
My army brother and his lovely wife.
My baby sister and her new husband.

    My new niece!

V. and her cousin around the fire pit.

  Playing with sparklers.


Watching Steve set off some fireworks.
{my little nephew would tense all up and look like he was scared, but couldn't stop watching!}
My little niece was scared of the fireworks, but then would say,"Again! Again!"
    Riding down the slide off my parents patio.

     Steve and his fireworks show!


And here's the whole fam~damily!
{Minus one brother-in-law who was working}
My army brother is leaving next week for some schooling and then he and his family will go off to where ever he will be stationed at. It might be awhile before we all get together again. And it was so nice to have us all home at the same time!
{ And this photo does not include my step family. Add about 3 times as many people and that would be the entire family!}

Family reunion

The second weekend in June was Steve's Grandma's family reunion.
Here's V. with her cousin N. and J.

K., V., J,. Aunt Jo, N.

At the reunion they had an auction of some family memorabilia. A few of us pitched in and bought this for Steve's grandma. It's photos of her parents and siblings. As well as a sliver dollar from the year her parents were married. It was a fun weekend hanging out with family!

More soccer~

After V.'s first game, she was a little....well, not too enthused about playing.
But at her second game she made a goal and she seemed to really like the game after that!
She's had her grandpa's make it to a few games and loves that!
The following pics are from her last few games.
{She's the one in red socks}


At the 3rd game she made 2 goals! And was shoved down but didn't cry or anything!

The 4th game, she didn't make any goals. But she was playing against 2 of her friends and had alot of fun!

The 5th game she made a goal, had her foot stepped on, fell down and talked her coaches ear off for 1/3 of the game!
 She is definetly getting more comfortable with the game and shows alot of natural talent. Thank goodness she takes after Steve and not me when it comes to sports!
