Bradley and Mark Baptized!








Wow, I haven't posted in a while! I hope you all have not lost interest! We have just been way busy and honestly I don't take the time to get on here and post anymore. I remember before we got Kennedi it seemed like all I had was TIME to get on here and post! Oh well, that's how life goes I guess! Hope you are all enjoying your summer and are staying cool. This week in Cali is not too bad, only 100-105 degrees instead of the 112 or 113 we had a week ago!
Last week was a busy but exciting one for us! On Friday we had Kennedi's re-adoption in the courts here in Fresno. When we landed in San Francisco from China she was a legal US Citizen and we did not have to do this part of the process but in order to receive a US birth certificate for her we did so we decided to go ahead and do it. PLUS it makes things even more offical! The ceremony was really neat because in China we had nothing like it (they just gave us a piece of paper stating she was ours). They made us swear in, they asked us questions, the judge went around and met all of us and my parents, and the kids were able to sit in the jury box! We took pictures but unfortunately something happened to them and they were deleted from my camera! :( Kennedi was all decked out in a USA outfit and looked so cute!
Then on Sunday Bradley and Mark were baptized at the church's annual Bar-B-Que Baptism at Central High School. The pictures above are from Sunday. Kennedi was having a great time in the pool and most of the pictures of course are of her. There are obviously ones of Bradley and Mark being baptized by Pastor Steve and Pastor Shane and the bottom one is of Katelyn and her friend Kennedy and our Kennedi. It was a great day!
Other than that, we're just chugging along. Summer is a month from being over (Kennedi and Bradley start on August 14 and Katelyn starts August 18) so the kids are just enjoying hanging out at grandmas. They will be attending a Creative Arts Camp in a week or so, so I'll have pictures to post of that when that rolls around. So, until then.....
Be Blessed and Live Today Like It Was Your Last!

Slurping It All Down!
Kerman has their 4th of July Celebration on the 3rd of July every year. These pictures are from last night's festivities. It was a fun time. The kids played on the blow up slides and obstacle course and we had some shaved ice and kettle corn. The show was nice and Kennedi said she like them even though she had her hands over her ears most of the time! What a blessing to have her here with us this year celebrating our county!
**Happy 4th of July Everyone!**

Fun In The Summer Sun!
