July Happenings

So we had a great 4th of July! It was fun to have Mom, Dad, Kolton, and Tori down for a bbq and to enjoy the festivities at the fairgrounds! Daesha and Shandra enjoyed following Kolt and Tori around, and I am sure Kolton enjoyed having them hang winth him and his girlfriend! Ha!!! The kids, grandparents, and John started the morning early at the flag raising and breakfast! I went up later to enjoy the fun and games, candy drop and all the hot dog and poe eating contests! Later in the afternoon John and Jerrick went to the movies while Shan, Daesha, Grandma and I weent swimming to practice for the synchro competition the next morning. We had dinner at home and them went back up to the fairgrounds for more games and the fireworks! We came home and had a great firework show in our neighborhood, thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for picking out the best fireworks! They were awesome and the kids and neighbors loved them. I started the fireworks at home, but was quickly demoted because I caught myself on fire and we had some scary minutes of chaos, but Grandpa and Mark saved the day all the rest of the fireworks went off without any problems. Needless to say I am not allowed near a lighter or fireworks next year! Saturday morning started bright and early after our late night! We had a synchro figure meet in Las Vegas at 8 am. Shandra was a grump and wouldn't wake up at all so she went in the car in her jammies and of course with all our begging and bribing she would not compete. Maybe next year! Daesha was # 90 in the competition and it was so hot and humid out that I was dying to leave, but Daesha had her turn and performed all her figures great! She won 1st place out of 12 in her division! We were very proud! She is now working on her routine with the group and she will also perform a solo to EVER EVER AFTER From Enchanted on July 26 th in Henderson. We will all be at the pool a lot for the next 2 weeks pracitcing! Fun Fun !
