Saving A Life

I'm just posting some exciting news, since I haven't been able to stamp or quilt in awhile. We had our baseball pool party at a friends house and one of the boys didn't know how to swim. His mother failed to let anyone know that. Anyhow, my son Dallas was swimming and noticed that the boy wasn't playing around. He kept yelling "help me, I'm drowning" it was a scary moment. But my son knew exactly what to do just remembering what the lifeguards told him while we were stationed back in Missouri. The boy is pictured in the blue swimming trunks and my son is the one with the water gun. I was so proud of Dallas too. My son happened to be there, as that siblings were allowed to swim too. My younger son is sitting next to him with the blue goggles. Both of my boys been swimming since they were born. The parent of the boy wanted to give Dallas something for saving his life. He told her, I was there at the right time at the right place where he needed me. No need for rewards for saving a life, he says!
Have a great day!

Exciting News

My son Cody has put off learning how to ride his bike without training wheels. He is 7 years old but has no fear in anything else. But for some reason, he didn't want to learn to ride his bike. He has been riding his scooter trying to catch up with my older son and the rest of kids on our block with their bikes. Today, as I was checking my email. I saw Cody trying to ride his bike with the one training wheel on it. It wasn't working very good. Cody told me that the wheel would get in the way of his pedaling and asked me to take them off. He also told me that he was ready. OMG! he's been on that bike all morning and not wanting to get off. We told our kids when they learned to ride their bikes without training wheels, then we would go get a new bike for them. My oldest son who is 11, learned at age 7 on Mothers Day. That was exciting too. This weekend we'll go and let Cody pick out a new bike. I knew he could do it. He wanted me to know that he wanted to learn at his own pace and not by others telling him to do it. Smart kid! I wanted to share this excitement with you!
Have a great day!

Celebrating America

Hello!
I hope everyone had a fun day celebrating America on July 4th. Our family went to this huge park and had a picnic inside the bed of my husband's truck. It was pretty cool. We all wore red/white/blue Old Navy shirts as well. Including our hats. Do you like our table? It hooks to the trailer hitch. We get a lot of compliments on it. I found it at a garage sale a few years ago. We had fun hanging out playing football and soccer until it got dark for the fireworks. Our best fireworks that we have liked so far were in Missouri overlooking the lake. Then they ended it with a display of God Bless America. But, we like them here in Oklahoma too.
Enjoy!
