Happy 4th!

Yes, I'm getting bad about not posting everyday, but I'll try to get better! I hope everyone had a Happy & Safe 4th! I know we had a good weekend. We celebrated with Mr. Roger & Mrs. Delma last Tuesday since we were gonna be gone over the weekend. They came to our house & we grilled some chicken. We also had baked beans, ranch potatoes, Italian bread & oreo cheesecake for dessert. Mrs. Delma fed Natalee her supper & helped give her a bath & put her to bed before they left. I know she loved that! They always love their visits with Natalee! Carol & Madison came to visit Friday, so Brandi & Natalee met them in Greenwood for lunch & to do a little shopping Friday afternoon. I got a little housework done before I had to go to moms. Since Deadra & William were here, we cooked out Friday night & visited. Saturday morning, when Terry got home from work, we loaded up the truck & went to Grenada. We met Jenn, Mike & Owen for breakfast then went to their place in Gore Springs to drop off our stuff, since we were staying the night with them. My family was at the lake so we decided to ride up & see what they were up to. Deadra & William had their ski boat, so Owen went out on the lake with the kids as soon as we got there. While we were waiting on him to get back, we just sat around & talked. We decided to eat with them since it was a big group of people. We had burgers, ribs, smoked sausage, cream cheese & jalapeno stuffed sausage, shish-ka-bobs, baked beans, chips & dips, and so much more! For dessert, we had homemade vanilla ice cream, homemade oreo ice cream, brownies, chess squares, rice krispie treats, & cupcakes. Needless to say we had leftovers for days! We went back to Gore Springs & shot fireworks, well Mike & Terry shot fireworks. Me, Jenn, Owen, Natalee & Ryan just watched! To our suprise, Natalee LOVED the fireworks! She never made a noise & stared at the pretty colors! Sunday morning we got up, cooked breakfast & were on our way. We had a family reunion to go to so we didn't get to spend the day with the Ponder's. But we will get together another weekend & spend the whole weekend at the "Lake House". Here are a couple of pics of Natalee! The last one is of her & Madison at the family reunion. There is 3 months difference in their age...
