Kayaking on Fools Hollow Lake! Miranda and Erin (in the green kayak) and Miya and Marlee (in the white kayak). We sure had fun in ShowLow while mom and dad were gone. We were primarily there to dog and cat-sit, but while we were there we saw HP7 at midnight, did a little shopping at the hometown WalMart at 2 AM, got a warning for going 48 in a 35 in Pinetop . . sheesh, did a little kayaking, played some ping pong out in the yard, played a little MarioKart, watched movies, rode bikes, went for walks, Miya cooked for us, Grandpa Johnson bought pizza. What more can you ask for? It was ShowLowificent!

All the excitement at our house . . . Marlee's 17th birthday, the cat's favorite hiding place, and the worst dust storm in years! July has been an eventful month!

Took Marlee to get her hair done for senior pictures today. Doesn't she look cute?! Crazy, seems like we were just doing this with Miranda the other day! Time sure flies! Btw, did you notice that she is kissing only cats these days? LOL!

Happy 4th of July! We had a nice, not-so-quiet celebration here at home with Grandpa and Grandma Myers over for a BBQ and fireworks in the street. Daniel and Erin decided they need to show off their ninja skills again by jumping over the fireworks. Luckily no burned booties . . . although Marlee did get a couple little burns down her back when a spark went down her shirt!

It's always fun when Miya spends the night, you never know where they will end up falling asleep! I guess they took a midnight swim and decided to sleep outside under the stars.

Gotta take lots of pictures of the little furball while it's still little since it won't be little much longer! Hmmm, using the word "little" a little too much!

Cat meets dog! I thought cats only did this in cartoons!! So funny!

Swimming Silliness!

Well, Marlee broke up with her boyfriend of seven months. It was fun while it lasted, but these things inevitably come to an end. I guess one of the apostles said "steady dating at a young age is only practice for divorce," and I suppose he is right. They are still good friends and all, but Ryan will be going on a mission in a year and Marlee needs to have some fun dating other guys her senior year of high school, so it had to come to an end. By now you may be thinking, "what does this have to do with a cat?" I just couldn't take the depressed, moping-around-the-house-all-day Marlee, so when she started begging for a kitten I knew we were toast! The things we do for our kids!!! Here she is, the newest member of the family, Trixie kitty!
