Off to church we go! Emma was presented with her Bible at church today. She was quite thrilled. We have over thirty 2nd graders at our church, so it was quite an event. I will have more pictures of her actually getting the Bible at the ceremony.
As most of you know, Tracy had her baby this week. I will try to include of picture of her soon. She was 6 lbs 14 ounces. They named her Erica Leigh.

Vacation at Last!

I have added a couple of slide shows from our vacation to San Antonio. The water park slide show has some pictures of the family that we went with, the Minnichs. We loved going to to Schlitterbahn and we will more than likely go back soon. Katie had a great time. I was worried that there would not be much to do, but we founds more than enough fun water rides.

Schlitterbahn!

Floating the Lazy River at the Hyatt in San Antonio.

Going to the Dr Pepper museum!

The Panters went to San Antonio for vacation the first week of August. One of the fun stops we made on the way was to the Dr Pepper museum museum in Waco, TX.
We got to tour the museum and have a Dr Pepper from the fountain on the way out. One of the highlights was an area that played all of the Dr Pepper commercials from now and then. It was fun to watch, but the girls got VERY bored with it. I guess they do not appreciate history like I do. haha.

E lost both of her front teeth in the last two days. Now she can officially sing "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!"

The girls are excited about starting school. We start Sept 5th. Our school has bought a new building and it will not be ready until then.

Chad and I celebrated our 15th anniversary on the 10th of August!!! We spent it going to soccer practice. C'est la vie.

Regarding the scratch on E's nose: She was diving off of the diving board at the swimming pool and swam right into the side of the pool. I got blamed for it because I had forgot to bring her goggles with us. They always blame the mother, don't they.

Well, we won the clutziest family contest today. After being at Chick filet for only 5 minutes, G spilled her chocolate milk all over herself and E. After finishing lunch, we headed over to Kohl's for a quick run in for soccer shorts. As we were leaving (after buying nothing), G spilled her entire, FULL, milkshake in the womens section. After making a quick trip to the bathroom to get as many paper towels as I could with 4 kids in tow, I went back to clean it up. Everyone walking by kept giving me gross looks. Apparantly, it looked like vomit! It was so funny. I kept explaining it to everyone that walked by that I was cleaning up cookies and cream milkshake. I never people try to walk by me so fast. I eventually had to leave it for the employees to clean up because I had to get to an appt. I bet there is sign on the doorwith my picture saying, "Do not let this woman and her kids in the store!"

Another hot day in Tulsa. 100 degrees at 5:00.
