July



A neighbor took this issue awesome picture of a rainbow popped up over our neighborhood one afternoon!  The colors were so vibrant!  Thank you God for putting rainbows in the sky to remind us of how much you love us.

Cannon came to spend the night night with us one night.  She and Lawson had the best time playing together!

Hudson went to a baseball clinic put on by the Naturals at their stadium with his friend Pierson. Pierson moved into our neighborhood in June.  They have become fast friends.  They have spent their summer patrolling our neighborhood on their bikes, having nerf gun wars, and raiding the refrigerator in my garage fridge!  They have had so much fun! 


Hudson played in a couple of golf tournaments this summer.  Pierson volunteered to be his caddy at one of them.  What a self-less friend!  They were so cute together!


They had a lunch date at Smash Burger afterwards! Not sure I can explain these shoes.  You select the color and blinking pattern.  You charge them!  And yes, they are gold!  And apparently, they are cool!  I wasn't sure I could accompany anyone in public who is wearing these shoes...but they are growing on me!  A boy on his bike, listening to music, and waiting for his friend to come home.  More commonly referred to as a "stalker".  Lawson playing with the neighbors kitten. Lawson upgraded our taped on "spots" this year and painted spots on our t-shirts.  Cow Appreciation Day 2016. Flies are quite the problem in NWA during the summer.  We would often have 10 in our house at one time!  This little girl honed her skills at fly zapping!  Wearing noise reducing head phones, of course....she doesn't like the zapping sound!
The rest of the month was probably spent at the city pool!  Home away from home!

4th of July


We had a fun 4th weekend.  We spent Saturday on an 8 mile Kayaking trip on the Elk River in MS.  It was a perfect day and the water felt awesome!  We had a lot of fun!
Sunday evening we went to see the firework show at Cross Church.  Pretty neat to watch the fireworks bursting into colors and lighting up their three large crosses.





Hudson put on a little magic show at one point.  He loved having an audi Monday, actually the 4th, our neighborhood had a street party.  And I think EVERYONE who lives in our neighborhood came!  People smoked port, brought side dishes, played music and set off TONS of fireworks! It was Americana in full effect!
Hudson starting putting on a magic show at one point...and drew quite a crowd!  Made his day!

They started setting off fireworks around 7 and they were still going when we went home at 10:30.  And these weren't black cats.  These were huge fireworks....pretty sure the show rivaled the one that Cross Church put on!


Happy Birthday America!
