18 Already?!?

 

 "At eighteen, everything is possible and tomorrow looks friendly." — Jim Bishop

On July 6th this beauty turned 18 years old!

She didn't want a big celebration.  The Friday before her big day we had dinner out with all of us and ice cream afterwards. 

On her birthday she did all kinds of fun things. She did some shopping, took herself out to lunch and got her cartilage pierced.  

What a precious blessing she is!! 

Patricia

 

On July 26th we went down to Scottish Rite in Dallas for Faith to have a hand surgery.

Her doctor is very hopeful that he was able to do a sort of skin graft on two of her fingers to help her be able to extend them better. If was a very painful procedure, but she is tough! 

She decided her cast needed googly eyes and then named her "Patricia".

And I talked her into a little bling, too. :)

The cast comes off on July 23rd! 

Happy 250th USA!!

We celebrated USA's 250th birthday by attending the Denton parade.

 

In the evening we had 30 friends over for hot dogs and yard games.

When it got dark we celebrated with sparklers and fireworks!

What a FUN day!!!

Washington D.C. Boy's Trip

The week after Gabe's graduation Byron, Gabe and Mig left for Washington D.C. for a boy's trip. 

They were there for the Memorial Day Parade.

And visited Mt. Vernon

And the national cemetery

And Ford Theater

They saw the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Museum of the Bible

And watched the National's play ball

Gabe and Mig were on tv each time they shot from this angle - see them in the top right corner?

And did other fun things, too! 

I think it was a pretty epic trip!
