4th of July

I just finished looking at Audra's pictures from their 4th of July festivities...and our celebrations pale in comparison. So, if you want to skip reading. Feel free. And I forgot my camera..so no pictures eiter.

We went to the lake with the Sandovals. We left after I returned from Body and Soul that Friday. There wasn't time to boat Friday, but we did make it to the Reingarten that evening for supper with 3 very starving boys. Saturday Leta and I hung out at the house while the gang boated for a while in the morning before getting rained out. They went back out for a while in the afternoon. They did get to go swimming and Luke rode in the tube so all was good in his world. Saturday evening we ate Mexican food and went and bought a few fireworks for the kids. Luke was very excited for this, but one the way home, found out we had gotten smoke bombs and didn't want anything to do with them. We did the fireworks when we got back since Sunday was supposed to be rainy and we didn't want to miss our chance. Luke wasn't so much into it. He really wanted to be, but he was scared of the smoke and the loud noise. So he spent most of the time back against the wall of the garage with his hands over his ears.

We had planned to go to church Sunday morning, but the forecast said that there was a 60% chance of rain in the afternoon, so we skipped and everyone went out again on the boat again (except Leta and I). Johnny and Cindy skied and got some pretty good shots of themselves. Leta and I did get to go on the boat for about 30 minutes that afternoon. We grilled out for supper. We were having a good time until....

Luke woke up Sunday night at 3:00 throwing up. Big mess. And then Monday morning he couldn't keep ANYTHING down. So I rode home in the back of the jeep, holding his throw up bucket for him. Lets just say it wasn't the most comfortable trip I've ever had. He threw up for the last time Monday at 4pm, so we are considering him healthy and we will still be making our trip to Ponca City Thursday to see Pappaw, Grandma Key, Marjorie, Doug, JoAnne, and JIMMY!!! I WILL remember to bring my camera. There is talk of swimming.

Leta news: She is getting up on all fours and rocking, but no crawling yet. Right now, as I type she is trying to get a piece of paper near her and did a tiny bit of army crawling and managed to get her desired object. Her tooth is now big enough to inflict damage, but not big enough to photograph.

Luke: Said to me this morning, "Mommy! We don't have Larry the cucumber OR Bob the tomato. But don't worry. Santa will bring them for Christmas." And we discovered why he's afraid of his smoke detector. He thinks it makes smoke. He still doesn't like the light flashing on it so Kyle put a piece of duct tape over it. Problem solved.
