Hailstorm

On Father's Day we were invited to Mom's for the monthly birthday dinner party. Andy and Dad proudly showed off the traveling archery trophy that is now in their possession for winning the tournament this year.


There was a cute picture posted on the refrigerator that Rachel had drawn.


Shortly after we arrived, it started to hail.


The hail was huge and made a lot of noise. Sam's family waited out the storm in their car. Wes had his ears covered because it was so loud inside their car.


Here are the expressions of some of the family as they were watching the hailstorm.



Then it was time to play with and eat the hail.







Our June birthday girl, Brooke, worked hard to blow out her candles.


She was so proud of herself when she finally got one candle extinguished that she had to clap excitedly about her success.


Andy was born on Father's Day and his birthday fell on Father's Day again this year. Maggie's doing her best to prevent Rachel from blowing out their father's candles.


We also celebrated a July birthday this month--Benjamin's--since he will be leaving before his birthday comes around.


Some pregnant woman thinks there will be another birthday in June. Rebecca is convinced she's going to deliver this baby early and not wait until her July 10th due date. Hmmmm, we'll just see about that...


Hope this family birthday celebration holds you over for the next two years, Ben!! HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!!!
