our little FAMILY photo shoot!! :)

4th of July outing!!

PICINIC at the park with Grandma Ree

and Papa Bern!! we had chicken, potatoe wedges,

rolls, watermelon, and pinapple! It was

a fun time, playing on the playground, frisbee, and
played in the creek to COOL off!

then we had a jammie party and
went and watched the fireworks, daddy met us there after he got off work!! (we all had our own popcorn bag and water!)

When we got home we just did a few little fireworks in the driveway. Jordan fell asleep on the way home, she didn't get to do the sparklers! Annika, Sydnee, and Sophi had a good time...exceptthe burn on the back of Sydnee's neck, from Sophi coming a Little to close with a sparkler! but all in all we had a good time!! :)

glasses for miss annika

LITTLE missy had to get glasses!! she is excited about having glasses like mommy. it had been a big medical month with Annika, but at the last dr appt for her, Jordan had hers at the same time and they were able to make the front of the newspaper:) ....(they DON'T have lead, they were just the cute girls in the office and they needed a picture for the article)

a TRIP to the dentist :)

it was a nice trip to the dentist with the girls!! It was Sydnee and Jordan's first time to the dentist. They all did very well, just watched the movies and got their teeth cleaned. They each had a cavity! so... they get to go get those fixed! Annika just so happened to go yesterday... she did very well DURING her procedure, but they used a sedation because her's were is the most sensitive part of her mouth (front tooth). then she had a REACTION coming out of the medication! it wasn't a good thing--kinda sad when you can't help your child when they are just screaming and you can't do anything for them. i was so glad once the medicine wore off!

SORRY, its been a while!!

Sorry that it has been a while since i have posted anything!! we have been crazy and busy...so here is a quick little update!! Andre spent a few days at the hospital because his blood pressure was out of control 220/146, so they admitted him to bring his pressure down gradually, his parents came up that night and his dad and my dad gave him a blessing.Thanks dads!! and also a BiG thanks to Rick and Shelly for offering to take the girls for the night..
Then i just went to the dentist for a regular cleaning and check-up and my dentist asked me why i still had my bottom wisdom teeth?? because my other dentist wanted me to go to an oral surgeon and i never did. he told me they were pretty straight and would be able to come out, so we scheduled that for a couple days later!!
Then this past weekend we were able to have a THURSTON family get together! ALL 7 kids were at my parents! it was good to be able to see everyone, and not get very much sleep!
