4th Of July

I didn't want Saige outside crawling around the fireworks (and she won't sit still) so we put her inside behind the glass door. She still had a gread view without the danger.

(The kids are always asking for kisses from Saige, but she isn't that willing to give them out)

This was our first 4th of July without going to see family. So this time we had to entertain ourselves and actually buy our own fireworks. At Shauna and Joes house they always make a breakfast outside with all the neighbors. We did have bacon, pancakes and eggs together, but not with the neighbors. Our neighborhood did have a little get togther at the park with Cold Stone Icecream, and the firetruck came and sprayed all the kids. They loved that- but I didn't have my camera.

We went and saw Cars 2, then came home and barbequed. We didn't want to stay up late at the city fireworks, so we did our own show in the backyard. I didn't get many pictures, and the ones that I took didn't turn out very good, but the kids did have a good time, you'll just have to take my word for it, but they did miss their cousins.

The Play; "The Tourtise and the Hare"

Mckenna tried out again for the Missoula Play that comes a couple times a year. They tryout Monday- then if they make it, you practice tues-fri. then have two performances on saturday. Mckenna was in the group called "the troup". The funny, slightly snotty group that aren't really in the play, but more like the narrators on the side. She had so much fun! She liked having singing and dancing parts and had fun getting to know the other cast members. She did awesome! It's weird seeing her up there on stage-she looked so much older and we can't believe how grown up she is.

CRAZY HAIR DAY

The kids go to this camp 3 days a week where they have some kind of theme. This was as crazy as they got on crazy hair day- as you can see, Miley didn't go too far out. When Mckenna got to camp, the leaders all had the color hair spray and she loved that! Mckenna is one of the co-leaders of the three year old group and she is doing an amazing job. Everyone is so amazed at her there and is so impressed with what a hard worker she is. The little kids love her and call her "Ms. Kenna".

Mileys Dance Recital

Miley has loved dance this year and couldn't wait to go on stage. During the dress rehersal, she was the only one who knew the dance and she knew it well. Every single other girl just stood there. When the actual performance came, some of the other girls actually did it too, and their whole group was pretty entertaining, but we were very proud of her.

Her moods are kind of unpredictable, and a little bipolor like- hence the first picture of her being very moody, but then she came around and had a great time. We really do adore our little MYMY, she keeps us on our toes and is so much fun to be around.
