Kansas 4th of July

Hello all! It's been some time since my last posting...but we've been super busy lately! Our most recent adventure was a trip to Kansas for Independence Day and the wedding of Jim & Jodi Jackson (Steve's brother). We had fun spending the 4th with Steve's mom and his brother Darren's family. We even assisted in milking Darren's family cow! That was interesting! As always, I had my camera in hand and took way too many pics (is that really possible?). Here are some of my favorites...

Steve & Me at a rest stop on the way to Lawrence, Kansas for Jim's wedding.

Here's a picture of the immediate Jackson family. I think everyone is actually here...except Kevin kind of got chopped off on the right (oops! sorry Kevin!) This was after Jim & Jodi's wedding. There were so many cameras going off it was hard to get all eyes in one direction...but this one didn't turn out too bad!

Here Steve and our nephew D.J. are playing around in Grandma's yard on the 4th.

Steve, Me and Annabel the cow! (at Darren's on the 4th)

Steve is filling in for Darren by holding the milking machine...so I got to hold the tail! Deanna is crouched on the other side of Annabel holding on to the machine. I've never milked a cow before! (However, I've been informed that we are cheating by using a machine & not milking by hand. Ha!)

Here are a couple of pics of the cute barnyard animals at Darren's.

Overall it was an excellent weekend!

I do have some fun cards that I've made recently...I'll have to add them to my next post.

Until then...
