Grandpa's 90th

The whole Brant gang gathered at my dad's cousins, Patsy's house to celebrate my g-pa's 90th b-day and his brother, Wendel's 89th b-day.  It's always great to get together with everyone and there is a bunch of us.

This wasn't even all of g-pa & g-ma's great grands.



Whit & Laney.  She will be 1 on the 30th. Hard to believe.

My g-pa loves his john deere tractors. So when I saw this I knew he would like it!



Clint kind of has a thing for Laney. 



Happy 4th


Since the girls had their 4th dresses on I had to get some pics.  I have this really neat barn, so I started there.







It was very hard for Brant to pose for us.

Check out Macie- she is all about it.




Sprinklers can still be fun.....

Brant & Josie came over to play a little while & since I am a stickler for kids to be outside and playing instead of inside watching TV, I got the ol' sprinkler out and almost had to make the kids get in it.

 Addie thought the water was a bit cold.







For some reason Brant thought he needed to do this.  Later I find out Larry had started this problem at home.  I wondered why Josie kept on going "Show your buns Brant".   Oh good times.

Firecracker Time

We traveled to Eric & Wendy's house on the 3rd for some family time.  All the girls wanted to do was swim & the boys wanted to shoot firecrackers.  Eric made some yummy ribs and we enjoy some night works. 



This is all 15 of us.  Great family I was lucky enough to become a part of.




Hidden Haven

Here is a shout out for Hidden Haven Christain Camp at Thayer.  If you get the opportunity to send your child here- DO IT!!  It is a wonderful camp where they are kept busy and are learning about JESUS.  I went as a kid and always enjoyed it.  They have upgraded to AC dorms, which is nice but everything else remains the same.  This was Addie's second year and I helped out again as dorm mom and family leader. 



This was whose team could make the longest line to get to eat first.




Addie singing for talent night.  She did a great job singing with her leader.


Macie got to come hang w/ us some too.  She tang along w/ Addie.


The leaders always pick 1 girl and 1 boy camper who receive the Honor Camper reward.  Addie got it this year.  I was very proud. 

Father's Day

For Father's Day the girls each made Clint a card. ( I ratherly buy cards, I think they are a waste of money)  They each did what they love most about him...




Just in case you can't read this-  he is my coach at softball, that he takes us to some lakes, that he takes us for rides and we love him and the number 1 thing that we like about dad is that he love's us!!!

Macie said the things I love about daddy are:  He swims with me, he plays ball & teaches me to swing the bat, he takes me on the boat, and he tucks me in at night....  Clint, you are a wonderful daddy. I love watching you with our girls.  Thanks for sharing this ride of parenthood with me each day!! luv u.

Lake Trip

One Sunday afternoon, we headed to Farlington Lake for a little boat ride.
Macie fell fast asleep.....







 They decided the water was too green and slimy to get any closer.

The girls did get in that nasty lake water... yuck
