4th of July

This year for the 4th we headed up to the girls camp with the quarnbergs. For a fun filled weekend of giggling,dirt and canoeing. Luckly this year no one ended up in the water. But Sunday there was a pretty heated competition on the water Jake Beck and Cade in a boat. Jeremy , Brenda and Colby in one, Paula Kenall and Tanner , and Kipp and Mallory. The winners were Kipp and Mallory which I don't think set well with the others. So they continued with much domination from Kipp and Mallory. Porter walked around with the gang of boys and Tai all day throwing rocks and chasing Pop Tarts. He woke up one morning and said "Mom go tell dad to get my gun so I can go and shoot some Pop Tarts." I about died laughing. That is one of those that Grandma Whicker would say you should write that down. So I have decided to take her advice and start writing things down. She is a wise women you know...

We got a fire side pep talk from Jeremy of all people on the proper way to cook smores. Cade is old enough to ride the big 4 wheeler by himself. He has a little trouble with the brake though. You'll have to ask Jarret about that. I think he thought he was going to end up in the water with Coleman and Abby in his hands.

J.Dee took John and a couple of rides in his rhino. Kendall came and got John giggling and talking. He told us about some things he did while he was younger. I can't post them because I am not sure if Grandma knows about them and she reads the blogs...

But John had a blast. He giggled and enjoyed the great outdoors. It is so hard for mom to get him to places like that becuase his movement is very limited. But I am so glad that she brought him. I think he really enjoyed himself.

But thanks to J.Dee and Linda for being the hostess with the mostess.

But the best part of 4th is Tiff actually made the RED VELVET birthday cake. She has learned the art from Paula and has really done a great job. But take some time to enjoy the 4th pictures they were fun takings...
