Well, I think we have finally recovered from our crazy July 4th! We had a great time at the lake cook-out, lots of good food and hanging out. The best food award has to go to Aunt Betty, who made the most delicious cake I think I have ever tasted!!! It was a yellow cake with AWESOME chocolate icing. Apparently, my great grandmother used to make an icing similar to it. Let me tell ya, it was good!!!! Aunt Betty, you have to bring it to the next event!!!!! Then that night, Gabriel had a blast in the pool at Uncle Mark's as usual. I am convinced he is going to be the next Michael Phelps!!!

Speaking of Michael Phelps, I have no idea what Cedric and I are going to do now that the Olympic Trials are over...we have been watching the track/field and swimming every night the past week. We are sad it is over, but are now looking forward to the Olympics in August. Cedric's good friend Dremiel Byers will be in Bejiieng (spelling?)competing in Greco-Roman wrestling (heavy weight) so be sure to look for him!! Everyone has been asking for new pics of Gabriel, so here is an updated slide show.

Cedric is off today and tomorrow...we had a great visit from Mamaw Dot and Pete today. Tomorrow I think we are going to wash our cars and do a little grocery shopping. Only 2 more weeks until our beach trip, and I am SOOOO ready. I can't wait to see Gabriel's reaction to the ocean.
