Baby Alyssa

Stryder and Ari enjoyed holding their newest cousin - Alyssa Mae Lewis born July 3rd 2008. Mom and Janie are jealous of Alyssa's gorgeous head of hair!

BBQ and Fireworks

We had a family dinner and games while we waited for the Fourth of July fireworks. The kids played with glow sticks like light sabers. The fireworks were a little loud for the kid's ears but they still enjoyed the backyard show. Then we watched the stadium fireworks from our roof (no picture of this- mom was too scared)

Fourth of July Parade

We watched the Fourth of July Parade in front of Dragon's Keep. We sat with our friends Zac & Skyler, Nathan & Tyler, and Ammon & Shea. When the Star Wars Characters passed by Ari yelled "We love your game!" (referring to the Star Wars Lego game on the Wii).
