We attended the annual Teetor Family Fourth Festival. We headed out to my parents in the afternoon to celebrate America. On the way we grabbed some fireworks in Raymond (they're usually better there). Isaiah got a dumptruck one and a firetruck one. Now last year, he had a blast setting off fireworks. This year, however, he was not so keen on it! He did, however, have a blast with his cousin, Jack! They had fun going down the slide, eating, watching fireworks, and they did set off some fireworks with the help of Jack's mom, Cat.
Claire, also had fun this year. She actually liked the fireworks. She would say, "oooh!" everytime she heard one. I'm not sure if this is good or bad! She stayed up the whole evening and pointed at the night-time fireworks. She also had fun swinging and playing on the eagle's nest.

To celebrate America again, we went to Seward on Independence Day. We started the day off by going to the air show. We met the Yosts at the airfield and set up our chairs. The kids loved the planes and the sky divers. We had a lunch of hot dogs and fruit loops. When Claire tried to eat a piece of hot dog off the ground, Jon took it away from her. She froze on the spot, got a really mad face, and then burst into tears! It was hilarious! That little girl is going to be a spitfire!! :-)
After the air show we went into town and the 'big' kids went down a blow-up slide a few times and then we just hung out for a while in the shade! A little before the parade started our family went to my friend Laura's grandma's house, which is right on the parade route. It was nice to get out of the sun and heat for a little bit! We then watched the parade in the front yard. Isaiah was all about getting the candy and Claire just wanted to run out into the street! The sun and parade wore the kids out and we headed home afterwards. The kids both fell asleep on the way to the van and didn't even hardly wake up when transferred from stroller to van!Saturday, July 9th
My entire family participated in the Run for Justin this year!! This is a 5K run that I have done 4 times now. For Christmas last year I gave my parents, brother, and his wife a water bottle, socks and an entry into this event. I was very excited that everyone completed the race, and i think we all met some sort of goal! If I can get my dad to email me the pic I will post it later!

Today was the annual Boswell Family Picnic. My cousin, Kendra and her husband hosted this year in Shickley. We had a great lunch and then they got the water out for the kids. Isaiah was only interested in the water activities before the bigger kids got out there. Then he was too intimidated to participate. We've got to toughen that kid up! He's kinda a wuss! :-) I had a great time catching up with family, Andy had some good Husker talk with my cousin, Kelly, and Claire had fun toddling around the house and playing with new toys!
It was a busy week, but that what summer is all about, right! Okay, so hopefully I will be back next Sunday with a new update! Wish me luck!
