Happy Birthday Grandma Vi!

We had a huge family reunion along with celebrating Grandma Vi's 90th birthday. It was so fun to visit with all the Glanzer cousins and family.
Tyler's Dad doing what he does best- cooking hamburgers!Kenzie and cousin, Lexi. They came back with us to Missouri for a week! We are so glad they came.

We had a popcorn maker, which was famous among all the kids.

My brother, the Helicopter Pilot!

My brother currently lives in Las Vegas and flies helicopter tours over the city and to the Grand Canyon. My family got to do the tour a few months ago, and I was so bummed that I couldn't be there. I was able to go on a tour when we flew in to go home. It was the coolest thing to do! Thanks bro for not crashing! I'm still amazed that he is capable of flying these machines! He's got talent.

Our summer is finally over!!

Summer vacation is always fun! We missed having Tyler around for most of it, but we snuck in a visit with him over the fourth of July. Tyler got home late last night... just in time for class this morning at 8am! Here is a recap of all that we've done this month:

San Antonio , TX: Kenzie chasing the pigeons! She had so fun with that!
On the riverwalk...
Having dinner on the riverwalk with Tyler's platoon. They all cleaned up nice! They were all use to seeing each other in their Army Combat Uniforms. I was glad to meet everyone.
It started raining, and we were eating on the patio. They tried to cover us with these huge umbrellas, but some of us weren't as lucky. Makenzie loved getting wet. The food was good, but getting wet wasn't.


Sea World: (We got in free because of the military!)
Beautiful San Antonio Temple.

Celebrate!!

I got some fireworks for the kids and we lit them off last night. I don't think we will be able to fireworks in Texas???


Makenzie wasn't so sure of them first....


Then she loved them and wanted more, more, more...


Jordan didn't like the sparklers, but was hooked on everything else.


Happy Day! We head out tomorrow to see Tyler for the weekend and then we will be in Cedar on Tuesday! Hope to see many of you soon!


Ha.... I just found this pic of me doing some fireworks when I was a child! What do you think of the clothes? I believe I was 6 in this picture.
