Chef Bomber

Bomber has been looking up recipes on his iPod. He found a recipe for Oreo Balls and we made them together.

He thought they were heavenly.

In fact, they were a huge success with everyone!

Cole said I was calling him Chef Bomber because he "cheffed" all day.

He also helped me make cookies for Brad's birthday, with some help from Hads!

He's actually pretty good! He said it may be his job one day, but he only wants to make desserts!

Here's another example of how Cole and Brewer are so opposite from each other. Cole likes to just wear undies and a tshirt (he never takes his shirt off). Brewer only likes to wear shorts with no undies or shirt (and yes, he has his shorts on inside out).

What can I say? They complete each other!

Fourth of July Fun

July 3rd we met Mick, Paula, Lance, and Sydney at Andolini's, here in Owasso, for some pizza and then they spent the night at our house along with Marsha, Alan, and Kerstin. Cole adores Lance and was super excited that he was spending the night.

We watched fireworks from our driveway and had a great visit. Mick, Paula, Lance, Sydney, Marsha, and Kerstin got up at 6:00 Thursday morning to run downtown. Yep...they're crazy!

After they got back and took a quick shower, we all headed to Meme and Papa Eldon's.

Linda's family came too. It was a lot of fun!

Marsha and Kerstin have 4th of July birthdays so we celebrated! Blake's birthday is the 4th too. Weird, huh?

Matt and Lexi's little girl, Layla, loved Zoe! She kept yelling her name. It was adorable!

Brad had to work on Friday, so he dropped us off in Seneca on his way home. I watched the kids so Mom and Dad could celebrate their 38th anniversary. We went to a movie and out to eat on Friday. The kids were great!

Saturday we headed to Main Street, Seneca for their annual 4th of July parade (on the 6th of July). It was a cool morning, which was nice.

The kids got some candy and even saw Papa Eldon in the Shriner's car!

After the parade, we went to Diane and Darrel's for lunch. They had a lot of family there and amazing food! In fact Charity told Diane that it was the best food party ever!

I got to hang out with Steph and her cute kids! I mean, really? Tripp couldn't be any cuter!

It was a fun week!

Church Camp

Zoe went to back to Camp Cyokamo this year and loved it again.

She was gone 3 nights and we missed her so much. Her friend, Mia, from Seneca even went with her!

Robyn sent me some cute pictures. Looks like a good time!

The day after she left, Cole said, "Zoe has been gone too long." He was happy to see her.

She crashed when she got home!

She learned a lot while she was there. I'm so proud of her!

Drillers Baseball

We decided last minute to go to a baseball game on Sunday. That is definitely a perk of living close to a big city.

It was kids eat free night. They got a voucher for a hotdog, milk, and ice cream sandwich. Of course, we got other snacks so I wouldn't exactly call it free, but it was still nice!

It was a 7:00 game and the weather was perfect.

The also got little bats. Cole swung around in circles with his in the lawn area where we sat. He made it on the jumbotron, but he looked like a huge goofball.

The kids had fun in the splash pad and on the playground.

We didn't stay for the entire game, but we had a great time.

Cole...The Ninja Warrior

We were watching American Ninja Warrior last night and Cole was running around crazy. I asked him to calm down and he said, "I can't, Mom, I'm training."
