Talent show for the 4th!

The girls entered the talent show for the 4th of July.



Preparing!







Posing!





Pics of them doing it and very nervous.



They didn't really want to do it, but with some prompting they did.



Not sure if we will do it again unless they are a bit more prepared! They did have fun though and I guess that is the point!

Unfortuantely I can't figure out how to flip these photos!

Trampoline Fun!

Lex figured out how to do a flip!



Again and again!



All sorts of fun!





Adriana's HAIR,FUN FUN!

Potty Training at it's finest!

Hannah's Main Squeeze!

This is a pic of Hannah and her "friend" from school Garrett! They are at their pre-school program. They started their first year of school this past year and will be in class together all through school! He is also going to MHCS!



They could easily end up with red head kids in 30 years!!!

Dance Recital pics FINALLY!

This is Tumbling!

This is more tumbling (Lex is in front)!

This is clogging!

This is Mighty movers! Hannah and Lex both in this one!

JR on the 5 o'clock News! (awhile back)

We got a KCCI grant to get a memorial garden for the 3 killed a little over a year ago here. JR was the one who wrote the grant so he is the one they interviewed on the news. Kinda neat really! I hope this will help those who are mourning to grieve their loved ones.



In this photo is Denise (Kali's mom) and Chris Lowe's mom. Also in the back is Adriana (a friend of ours).




This is a neat project and JR did a great job on it last minute too!!

Hannah Got Stitches!

Well most of you may have already heard that Hannah got stitches, but I thought I would post pics of where exactly they are and such!



She actually got them out on Friday but won't get the butterfly strips off till they wear off! But I am afraid the wound will scar pretty bad.. we will see! A dear friend of mine suggested that I get Vit E gel caps and poke a hole directly on the wound to help it heal. I will post pics again when we get them off and again in a month or two to see how it heals. Pray for her. A scar like that on your face can hurt your self esteem down the road. Anyway just a mama's worries! LOL



For those who didn't hear, she was with a friend of mine at the park and slipped and hit her head on the steps and cracked it opened of coarse it was on a Sat and we were in MO so we had to go to the ER and that scared her more then actaully having it done. She was really brave! She only fussed a bit when tehy put the numbing shot in. Then she sat perfectly still the rest of them time! They swaddled her like a baby! She was so quiet on of the nurses thought she had fallen asleep!


I just hope she heals well without too much scarring! My brave lil Monkey!

I will post pics soon!

I will post pics from our trip ASAP! I am waiting for our pics from WM! I took 9 rolls so there will be plenty to choose from! I can't wait to share them with you all! YAY! CO was beautiful as always!!

Happy Anniversary JR!!

Just wanted to tell my hubby Happy Anniversary publically! Thanks for the best 9 years of my life! You have been a great husband and father! LUV YA! Angie

Boy's camp!

Well Mark went to boy's camp and came home on Friday! He had a blast! They got to go canoing, fishing, learn how to shoot a gun(but I didn't allow Mark to shoot one), had a big water fight against the staff! And many other things I am sure he didn't tell me about! LOL! He was honorary mention for "camper of the year" which allows him to go free next year if were to have won! That is quite an honor!

Ummmm... what else? Well he came home and just started crying when he walked in the door! I asked him what was wrong, he said nothing, he was just happy to be home! That was so sweet! The kids went running to him when they heard the door open and hollered "MARK"!!!! It was nice homecoming for the first day or so then things got back to normal... fighting and bickering...LOL wouldn't be my life without that.

Oh, when I asked him which week he liked best, Junior(which is bible camp) or Boy's (which is not) he was very quick to answer he, "Junior b/c I like that there was a lot of Bible!" That's my boy! Make Mama proud!

NYR here we come!

I am so excited! We fianlly get to go to NYR this year. We haven't went for several years. We found a sitter for the 2 youngest kids and we are taking Mark and Alexis with us! And also maybe our friends daughter too! YAY! Please comment if you are going to NYR or know ppl who are. I would love to know who we might run into!

The Rounds kids are FISH!

It has blown me away how the kids are so much like fish this summer. We have been blessed with enough money to get a pool pass this summer and they have been swimming all the time! Alexis can now back dive and flip off the boards! SHE IS SIX! No floaties!
Mark can swim awesome too, he hasn't got quite as brave as Lex though! Hannah wants to go without floaties too but mommy insists. Ethan will beg and beg to go down the slide! "Ride, ride!" He will say time and time again!

At our pool he can only go down during family hour and same with Hannah! Unless they can swim from the bottom of the slide to the edge by themselves with no floaties then they have to go with a parent or be caught, and that can only happen during family hour which is 6-7pm. Ethan doesn't quite understand that. I am thinking about doing a pool party for JR's B'day too! I think we would have a great time. Kinda depends on the $ situation, too.

These pics were taken at the cub scout pool party on July 5th! They were rewarded for cleaning the park after the 4th celebration!

Where do I begin?

We have been so insanely busy! We have been at camp and trying to squeeze a family vacation and trip to Adventureland! Plus try to get my DR and Kitchen painted and get our basement cleaned up from the floods. This is all why I haven't been doing much blogging lately! I am up to my ears in projects. I would love to squeeze some scrapbooking in all this but I know it is on the backburner for now.

I plan to post some pics form camp sometime. But for now I will just let you all know Mark had a first up in Bible drills for quoting a verse! "That's my BOY!"

We had a really great time. I cried when it was time to go! Those girls really touched my heart! Being a dorm mom was my calling this last week! I had some really good talks with some of them! Girls I love you! I will be praying for you all this year and can't wait to see you again next year!

Mark's first year of camp! YAY!

Well, our oldest is getting so big, I can hardly believe he is old enough to go to Bible camp, but he is! YAY! We are leaving this Sunday to go to camp and will be back Friday! I am going with and planning to work in the kitchen! I am so excited. A friend of mine is keeping Hannah and Ethan for me so I can go and be there for her daughter and Mark. Also I am taking Lex with as well. She isn't old enough for camp but she can go and have fun and such with us. I hope it isn't too HOT! Pray for me, I am also going to be the dorm mom!

Severe Problems!

Well Hannah is full of lil quirqy things to say! We were at Pizza Ranch with Gma Deb and Gpa Bob and Aunt Lynz and out of the blue she asks Gma Deb, and I quote, "Do you have Severe Problems?" Gma about busted a gut laughing so hard! We all had a hard time composing ourselves. Then even Ethan started laughing! What 4 yo comes out and says something like that? LOL! How do you even answer a question like that? Anyway just another day in the life of the Rounds' family!
