Family for the 4th

This year's Nevada summer has kicked into high gear with Lexie and Sharrid and the boys coming to visit. Lexie and the kids have been able to stay all of June and through next week of July while Sharrid has come back and forth a few times for job opportunities. It has been good for both Lexie and the boys, as she is pretty much homebound at home in Arizona without a chance to get out. The boys have also been able to get outside and help feed the chickens and water the garden when the sun goes down at night. We have run errands, gone swimming, played at the park, and then come home to end up like this:
Yesterday Michaela came up with grandpa and grandma on their way up to the cabin. We decided to have our gathering in Logandale this year instead of at the cabin, something we haven't done since the cabin was built. The fireworks are GREAT here, especially for a small town...much better than at the lake, so we are excited for that to happen. Kira and Sean came in late last night. The only ones not here are Connie and Peter and their kids, but I am excited for them because Connie and Peter are going to see "Wicked" tonight in Phoenix! Here's Michaela and Tibi laughing it up...
Marce likes to try his hand at "old school" Nintendo 64 when he gets the chance.
Lexie got on Amazon and found the old "Sweet Valley High" board game that all the girls used to play when they were young. They have even made Landon and Sean, Kira's boyfriend, play - even though they have to be girls in the game (with boyfriends to find!)
Phoenix has been off his regular nap schedule a few times since he has been here. Sean is getting some good practice in in getting him to get his nap, wherever he can get it!
More to come later.....
