For the 4th of July we had a flag rasing at the church and

a pancake breakfast.  We saw Coos Bay's fireworks

( that went along with music from the radio station), on the

third of July.

Emma turned 8 on July 12.  We had a fun party at the

Pottery Co., where the girls got to paint their own pottery.

Grandma Tina and Grandpa Jon came down a few days

before Emma's birthday and gave her a very pretty

music box with a dancer.

Alyssa is 10

I haven't done anything with my blog in a while, so I

thought I'd go back to last year and do a little updating.

Mom, Dad, and Hunter came out for Christmas and we

took them to see the lights at Shore Acres (not quite

Temple Square) but a lot of fun ocean life etc.  We had

a good time, and were glad they came out to see us.
