Slack Family: Fourth of July and a June Update!

We went down to Katie's on Sunday for Landon's blessing. It was so much fun to see everyone and visit. Katie prepared the best taco salads and hosted it at her house. My little family love it when we get to go to Aunt Katie and Uncle Lloyd's house. Bo was rocking out on the way home from Katie's house, so we had to get this pic of him dancing. He was being so silly.

We ended up going to Salina for the 4th celebration with some good friends on Saturday. We then went back to Milford in time to go to the Wunderlich's house to watch the big fireworks. It was so much fun. Here is Miley running around and watching the parade in Salina.

Casek and Bo met a boy named Marcus and they had fun running and playing with him. Here they are waiting for the parade to start. They gathered a lot of candy and had lots of fun.

Casek and Bo had lots of fun with their squirt guns. Here Casek was giving Miley drinks with it.

I was lucky enough to coach both Casek and Bo's teams in baseball this year. Casek and Jex were in Machine pitch and both were on the Bee's team. Here Casek is playing second base.

This is Jex swinging away. He got a great hit and made it to first easy. He was quite the little player.

This is Casek ready and waiting for the pitch. I had so much fun watching this age group of boys. They were funny and some of the things they said killed me.

Cindy and I coached the kids T-Ball team. Here is the team pic from their last game. Loni Sue in in the pink shirt, Bo is the last one on the left, and JT is the third to the left.

Cindy is helping Bo line up to smack the ball. He LOVED baseball. He is into any sport in general. Usually when we get home he either gets football or baseball gear on and goes to "practice". He will go out and play outside for hours and pretend that he is a pro in some sport or another.

(Sorry I still can't rotate the pic) Here is Bo, with his new baseball gear, in his batting stance.

For Bo's birthday we went to Big Rock for a hot dog roast and to play. Uncle Troy ended up bringing the horses to ride. We had so much fun. I think we need to start doing it more often. We had cake, roasted hot dogs, made smores, rode horses, caught lizards and snakes, climbed Big Rock, and sat around and visited. Here are Kennedy, Kiley, and Miley. I can't believe how old Kennedy and Kiley are getting. Their dads are going to have to get out the baseball bats and clean the shot guns soon! What pretty girls!

Here is Bo unwrapping his presents. He got a lot of fun stuff and was so excited.

We had rented the movie Flicka 2 and he loved it, so I bought him Flicka and Flicka 2. He was so excited and I can't tell you how many times we have watched it since he got them.

Uncle Ryan is teasing him that that was his present Bo was unwrapping, but Bo wouldn't have any of it. He would just smile and say no way. The kids all love Uncle Ryan's teasing.

Poseing for a pic before he starts to unwrap.

Miley was terrified at first when she got on the horse, but then I got on and took her for a little ride. After that she loved it. She went riding with anyone who would take her. Miley is definitely an animal lover.
