24th of July

Of course we always start out the holiday riding the fire truck in the parade

Then tradition says go picnic at a lake to get out of the heat so we headed to Navajo Lake

Yummy Hoagie Sandwitches!

Heading out to go fishing

Kimber, Jacy and Kasey. This is Jacy's first time in the mountains.

Then after a BBQ dinner at home we headed out to our secret spot to ride bikes and shoot skeet

This picture is for Grayson. She wouldn't really model for me today

Kristin modeled though. You look good girl!

Kimber, Kasey and Shawn checking things out.

My Little Jacy

This sweet girl has gone the past two days without oxygen, only having it at night.

She is doing so well.

Look at that tongue! She's a Cox too!!!

Panguich Lake

We had such a great time on Monday and it was so beautiful that we decided to go back on Friday for the weekend. Kurtis is being so patient for the big fish.
Erick finally got everybodys line in the water and can relax for a minute.

Well, Kyle didn't catch any "killer big ones" but he caught quite a few little guys.

They will live for another day.

Kimber took a nice one!

And I of course have a reputation to uphold.

I will let Kristin blog Justin's fish. He caught some big ones too!

Kimber ended the perfect weekend with the flu.

She just wants to get better for cousin camp

We all decided that we should roast marshmallows

Kristin was so hungry!

Kimber was too!

(This isn't what made her sick though)

Erick dueling with his roasting sticks.

The Best part of the Holiday

Jacy finally got to come home!

She and Grandpa Papoo are bonding so well.
I know Erick has big hands but look at her tiny hand on Ericks thumb.
She is such a blessing!

Tradition on the 4th says Head for the Hills!

Oops! Well Kurtis looks good even sideways.

We always hit a lake of some kind after the parade because it is too darn Hot to stay in town.

Kurtis did more swimming then fishing, but he reeled this little guy in.

Kimber caught 5 of these little guys
Grayson caught a few too! Doesn't he tolerate my taking his picture well. Hehe

Kyle as you can see tolerates me too. He was just ticked off because...

I of course didn't just catch the most fish, but also the biggest as well.
(I prefer to be sideways.)

Kurtis has perfected the art of finding fishing "stuff".

We always start out our 4th of July at the Parade

Its nice to have an "IN" with the Fire Department.

Erick looks pretty offical Huh!
Justin, Grayson, Kimber, Kristin and Kyle getting ready to do their parade wave.

Our beautiful Jacy!

Jacy is off oxygen, IV and everything!

This sweet girl just has to eat good and show she can sit in her car seat for an 1 1/2 hours without any problems and she will get to come home.
Kasey is feeling great, So great she has to be reminded not to lift stuff.
We can't wait to have the Smith's back home!!!
