Happy Fourth of July!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Daddy and his girls decked out in red, white, and blue!
That is just a lizard tattoo on her arm.


The July girls.


The Turner family at the Annual Creekstone Fourth of July Parade.



Q pulled the wagon for the girls.
Sydney kept trying to stand up in the wagon.
It was a bit stressful.


Our decorating job didn't win first prize.
Who would have thought? (sarcasm)


But Q is plotting a FLOAT for next year's parade.
He says he'll win in 2009.

I am just glad we made it to the parade before they started!
We put the garland and bow on the wagon in the front yard at the last minute.


ANOTHER tattoo. Maddie loves them.
We are a little worried. Hopefully she'll outgrow the fascination!


Sydney- Our "little firecracker" & Madeline "Old Glory" Turner.
This is Madeline's THIRD Fourth of July parade!


No, it's not a movie star- just Sydney Jo!

POPSICLE!
"uuuu aa yyy uuung"
(Look at my tongue)

Sydney beat the heat with an orange popsicle.

Bippity Boppity Boo!

Maddie loves Cinderella! She can sing the whole Bibbity Boppity Boo!

Holding Abbey

It's a bit old. We filmed this in December. But it's still cute. Poor Abbey.

Our Pretty Things

In our yard we have some pretty things..


Madeline..




Sydney...



and some flowers, too.







Yes. it's a real flower that we grew in our very own yard.



We have pretty lilies. They are taller than Maddie, almost as tall as me.




Gorgeous gladiolas...



And some pretty periwinkle balloon flowers.
Maddie likes to pop the balloon flowers that aren't open yet.

Daddy's Clothes

Grandma Shelia made Q some new pants to sport during recovery.
Maddie wanted to try them on.





The Girls looked so cute in these shirts. My Daddy's the Big Kahuna!
We thought it would make him smile and lift his spirits.

Whipped Cream Kiss

We had whipped cream piled on top of our cookies.
We schmeared it on our lips and kissed.
Then it got silly.

Q the Patient

The day of surgery, June 11, 2008. Q moves to the chair! WOO HOO!

Still Post Op Day 1: June 12. 2008. Maddie and Papa lead Q on walk number 2!


Q's recovering well from colon resection surgery Wednesday, June 11.
Keep praying that we will win the battle with chemo treatments!
