Birthday Dinner

For Al's birthday we went to the Hofbrauhaus. It is a replica of the one in Munich. Al went to the original when he was stationed in Germany many, many years ago. It is also a restaurant that we took Al's dad to that last time he visited. The food is very good and very german.

Here is Al with his favorite Jagerschnitzel and Hefeweizen.

Rock-n-Roll Dad!

Playing Tourists

Grandma Ginny was in town a couple weeks ago. When she's here we try to do more tourist activities that she has not seen and places that would also be fun for all of us. We headed down to the Siegfred and Roy's Dolphin and Lion Habitat, The Secret Garden. The girls have been begging for months to go back. They really enjoyed watching the dolphin's play.

Father's Day Card

Landree made this card for Al at school. It looks a bit like him, don't you think?

Preschool Graduate

My beautiful Lily graduated from preschool in June! Yeah, Lily! She is so excited to start kindergarten. She thought she would start as soon as she graduated. She was heartbroken to find out she still had to wait a couple months. The little blond haired boy in the front, Carson, insists Lily is his girlfriend. She just giggles and we say no way!

Perfect color gown to show off her blue eyes.

Independence

Last night we hung out with our neighbors. It seems to get bigger and bigger every year. The fireworks went on and on for almost 3 hours. It gets pretty crazy on the block! Landree and Lauryn had a blast. Lily was more leery this year. She spent much of the night inside watching cartoons.

The kids were watching the "worm" grow.

Landree's Writing

I just ran across this story of Landree's in my notebook. I need to get it typed out before I lose it.

I had a great plain ride to grand junckshn Colorado! And I saw the flaps lift up on the side wing. I was in seat thirty on the right side and I saw the lake. I sat next to the window and my family was very very very high and we got there in the middle of the night. It was very very very very (...) fun. The End. That's my whole plain ride.


I have a few more things she has written that I need to get posted. I told her she needed to start writing these things in her diary. She said she wrote a song in her diary but I have yet to read that one. Maybe I can sneak it away from her and post her song.
