These are the Red Hot Mamas. They have been in the parade for as long as I can remember. They are always dressed to the hilt with their shopping carts and a nice little dance to go along. Something new that I do not remember were the "Usetabe Hot Mamas" and the "Mamasboys". The whole act was quite entertaining and the parade would not be the same without them!



Miley had a great time fishing with daddy! She caught a lot of sunfish - nothing we could eat - but the effort and experience were great. We also had a great time at the parade in Coeur d alene. They have a great parade. Addison especially loved the horses and was obsessed with them the entire time.

We went on our annual walk up to the resort to let the kids get an ice cream. It is a cute little ice cream shoppe and the kids get a huge cone for only a dollar. They were so excited. Granny had given them each a dollar and life was good. We had tried to go a day earlier and take granny on a little walk with us but the shoppe was closed. It was nice to have her out and about with us!




We had some nice down time. Gracie practiced her reading and singing to grandpa playing the piano. Miley brushed up on her "big sister" skills with her new cousin Gavin. He is 6 weeks old and so precious! It was fun to be around a little baby again. It made us all excited for the upcoming arrival of ours. He really is adorable and such a good baby. It was fun to meet him and sad to say good bye because they change so fast!

After bowling and dancing we headed back to the lake for aa bbq, presents, cake, and of course swimming! I love the backgroung of the lake in these shots! Gracie got some great presents. Hannah made a yummy ice cream sandwich ice cream cake! Addie loved the whipping cream she sat and licked the pan clean! Who cares about presents when ther is whipping cream around.




We of course had to take advantage of the arcade that was in the bowling alley! Anyone up for a little dance dance revolution! I tried really hard to get a shot of my mom and sister but they were not such willing subjects!

Vacation!

The day after we got to the lake was Gracies 6th birthday! We were so excited that we could be there to celebrate with her. She is getting so big and is starting to look like a young lady! WE had a fun time at the party. We all went bowling! The kids had fun. Jackson and Addie were very patient while waiting for their turn as you can see!
