Family Picnic




Since today was not to hot nor was it to cold we decided to have a picnic. Jacob was over at our house and we invited the neighbors over so we had quite a crowd. We took about a half hour packing 15 tons of food we loaded all into the wagon and then finally we headed over to the park. After wolfing down food we we scattered in all directions to enjoy summer. Dever and Fiona went and built a Fairy tree, the younger children went off to get in trouble, and i went and to scope out some climbing trees. I could spend all day talking about how much fun it is to have a picnic, but instead I'm just gonna suggest that you look at the pictures and go out and have a picnic yourself!

Wildcat Champs


This year was the first year that Dever had played Wildcat, and guess what? His team was the second half champs. LUCKY! They were a really good team that rarely lost. You have to have a good team to become a champ! I should know. I have been playing wildcat for at least three year and my team was NEVER the champions of either half. This year though my luck changed and my team the Bruins was not only the FIRST half champs but we were also the SECOND half champs. We lost only one game all season. After years of always being one of the last team I finally learned how it felt to be a champion. I would like to say thank you to all of the coaches for being the BEST wildcat coaches! Thank you VERY much!

Summer Activities

During the summer, the Speckhards and Kemme Nashes enjoy doing fun activities such as bike riding and going to Summer Sno! Seeing that both of our houses are within a mile of Summer Sno, these things can easily be combined. Today seemed like a good day to go since Maria was over for the entire afternoon. At four o'clock Dever, Mom, Maria, and I biked to Summer Sno. Dever and I had not been there for a while but Maria who goes there at least once a month knew exactly what she wanted, Orange and Grape. I decided upon Blue Mountain Raspberry and Strawberry. I know they both sound really gross. But in reality they taste awesome! Dever and Mom arrived a little bit later and Dever got Root Beer and Pinacolada. Sound gross? Dever decided that it also tasted a little (all right lot) disgusting! He then left Mom to finish the old mixture and went and got just plain Root Beer! Trust me it tasted a whole lot better! And although we didn't take any pictures I hope you can imagine all of the fun we had!!
