Parade's and Birthday's
This morning we watched the Grandview Memorial Day Parade. It was Emily's first ALL-AMERICAN parade, with fire trucks, old cars, baseball teams and politicians. Not a bad way to spend a morning. I am glad that I power washed the front yesterday afternoon! Now we are off to Mikala's Birthday Party and Jens house. First [...]
Parties and Weather…
