4th of July -- 2019

We had another great reunion in St. Louis for the Fourth of July.  We got to talk to Aubrey while she was on her mission.  She was at the MTC getting ready to leave for Finland.  She bore her testimony in Finnish.  Lots of swimming and a couple of trips to the dollar store.  The older cousins played a rousing game of bingo with the younger cousins.  The Lingard's brought one of their cousins from Nathan's side named Andy.  He fit right in!  

I turned 36 and made myself my favorite strawberries and cream pie.  When we drove home I was surprised to find two potted plants on our doorstep.  It was a birthday gift from Sarah Rish.  So pretty and very nice of her!  Eric celebrated his 38th birthday a few days later with his favorite peanut butter cake.

Here are a couple of cute notes I found:

Janie Loves Softball!

Janie's team had their end of the season celebration at Mitchell's.  Janie loved being on a team with Callie.

Their team played in the championship game which was under the lights.  Blake came with me to cheer her on.   Janie played great!  Their team was up for most of the game but ended up losing at the very end.  Everyone was pretty sad.  Until next year!

Ty Turns 7!

Happy 7th birthday to Ty!  His birthday was on a Saturday and in the morning he opened his present of Beyblades.  Then he had a baseball game.  After that he wanted to go eat dinner at McDonald's and go bowling.  We came home for cake and ice cream.  The Rish's came too!

Cookies, Softball, Costco, Swimming

All Star Baseball Game

Blake was invited to his second All Start baseball game.  He got to pitch.  It was a close game but they lost.  I love watching Blake play!  Ty came with me and was happy with some snacks that he bought.  Eric and the others were at Janie's softball game.  They stopped by afterwards.
