I was playing with Rebecca's new camera and put it on red eye reduction and took a picture of tiger. This is such a cool picture. It looks like he is glowing inside. Spooky.

The 4th of July

Happy 4th of July !

On the 4th of July this year we had Ruben come over and spend the day with our family. He and Jessica played video games most of the day. After dinner they went outside and did some Arizona fireworks. Like snaps, worms, and poppers. Then they roast marshmallows and made smores. Then they watched the fireworks from Rockin R Ranch.

Rebecca spent the day in Payson with Grant. They drove up Early and had a picnic. Well It rained, so they ended up going to a movie. After the movie they were able to see the fireworks. This picture is taken with beccas new camera.

This is Grant and Rebecca in Payson.

Projects

Mom and Jessica Project

This week Jessica and I have been doing lots of things together. Our big project was making stepping stones. As you can see Jessica is very talented and creative. Her stepping stone is the one that looks so great. She did a fantastic job. Mine on the other had looks very sad. We had fun doing the project together. We plan on making more in the future. So look for more projects.

Changes

Yes, have had changes in my life. First having an 18 year old, then having her graduate, go off and get a job and go to collage. Wow, this is big. when the girls were babies I did not think about this day. I mostly thought about them turning 16 and wondering what kind of teens they would be. I can say I have the best girls ever. Jessica says that she is glad to be an only child. It does feel like it now as Becca is home less now than she was in High School. She started her job last Tuesday, and she started her summer collage class on Monday. She is also going to institute on Tuesday nights and finishing up her dancing year with her recital in two weeks.

It has been good for Jessica and I to hang out and do things together. I have been really busy with Becca her senior year. Now Rebecca is off being an adult, and Jessica and I are enjoying our well deserved time together. Jessica tried summer school on Monday, but that did not work out. It was to long of a day for her. So she is doing the Internet course. It is the same price, and Jessica has more time at home. She loved being homeschooled and that the Internet course is like that. The other thing Jessica is going to work on is getting her driving permit. I hope soon. Even thought It sure cost a lot to drive these days.

Cathy Roe's Ultimate Dance

Rebecca had a Dance Competition on Saturday. She Performed her solo and many group dances. She received a High Gold for her solo. She also got a special award for her solo, The producers choice award. It was given to her because they said she was ready for Broadway.

I do believe she would love to dance on Broadway. The studio also got a special award, it was the entertainment award. Our Director loves to receive this award. I will say our studio really

loves to be entertaining.
