July 1-13th Pictures

July has been a super busy month so far!!  Here are a few pics from the beginning of the month.


July 3rd in the evening, we were at Gina and Freddy's new home on Loon Lake. There was a fire truck engine getting ready for the 4rth of July parade. They were going around the lake giving rides to kids/families who wanted an actual ride! 

Inside the fire engine.  Sawyer, Freddy's nephew visited for a few days and got in on the 4rth of July Festivities.

My mom got this adorable outfit for Jaelle and it was perfect for the 4rth of July with its red, white and blue color scheme.  Jaelle hears the parade coming and looks back.

Sitting proudly holding her candy bag waiting for candy to be thrown.  She didn't sit long!

Here Jaelle is totally getting into collecting the candy part of the parade. Abby had to help and keep tabs on her because Jaelle is fearless and would just run out in the street to snatch up the candy.  Abby and Becca never did that when I took them to parades at this age. They were to scared or shy!

This picture is fuzzy but I love Jaelle's happy sweet smile. She loves her cousin Seth.


My 3 precious girls at the 4rth of July Crystal Lake parade

the girls with their uncle Freddy and cousins

Our church participates in the Crystal Lake Parade every year distributing 4000 water bottles!! 

You can see Cornelius' head in this picture- he ran around the whole lake giving out water bottles.  Its a major thing to do because even some teenagers couldn't keep up or do the whole lake.  Pretty good for my old man!

Picture of me with my beautiful girls after the parade and the street cleared.

All whole gang of us went to Gina's house on Loon lake after the parade for a big picnic.  Cornelius took Abby and Jaelle for a canoe ride.


And the fun before the fireworks.  Sparkler sisters

Crazy Abby!

July 5th we went to Michigan Adventures with my friend Tasha from work.  We left Jaelle behind and had a really fabulous crazy fun time.  We left at 8:30am and didn't get home until 11:30pm.  We stayed the whole day at the park and had a blast!!  I think we might make this a tradition to go every year with Tasha. :)

Monday, July 8th, Abby went to The Springs camp in Gladwin for her first time at a week long camp.  It was exciting and scary to leave her. But I was looking forward to a special week of growth and fun. 

Abby with her "fabulous friends" that went to camp.  We call them the Fab Five- Abby, Philena, Hannah, Brianna and Kylie.

Abby and Philena were in a cabin together

Just fun sister time in a box.  Jaelle has special big sisters that do fun things with her.

As you can see, Jaelle is the driver and in control.


This was Jaelle's box now and she didn't want any visitors inside- hence the grouchy face.

Rock picking- Jaelle likes finding rocks in the yard.

And the link below is a little video taken at the Rock on the Hilltop concert in Belding MI of our worsip band. It in no way shows the quality of our band and is just a little clip from a cell phone recording.  We actually were requested to do another concert at an addictions group and share our testimonies. Looks like we're booked for a Tuesday in September.  That is the heart of our band- to worship and praise God and encourage others to seek Him and experience God's love and healing for their life.


And finally our family pictures were taken Sunday night the 14th.  

I'll make sure to post the last half of our family pics the end of this month so stay posted!!
