| July 28 | Sail Around The World. Here's one of a few shots of the boys actually trying to sail a boat. They're always complaining that there's no where to go and nothing to do. |
| July 27 | We're Not In Kansas Anymore. Here's another photo of Vernelle performing a lovely trick-- making water go uphill. She can also stop a clock. |
| July 26 | Family Ventriloquists. Can you figure out which one is the ventriloquist and which one is the dummy? No, it's not a trick question. Look closely. |
| July 25 | Twins Run Away From Home. They had the direction right. The North Pole from Hawaii is quite a trek. Even for a teenager or two. |
| July 24 | Fresh Water Shark? You'd be surprised what you can find in the Lake of the Ozarks. Vernelle once sighted a fresh water shark on the Mississippi and told her friends in Hawaii. |
| July 23 | Family Wax Museum. Next time you're in Wichita, Kansas, stop by the Wax Museum at the Town East Mall. You'd be surprised how lifelike the folks are there. |
| July 22 | Vernelle Braves The Pacific. Doesn't it sound great to travel across the Pacific ocean in a yacht? Right. Well, Vernelle did it in a10 foot paddle boat. |
| July 21 | Water Floods Hawaii Resort. Did you ever leave home and think you left the iron on? Or the lights on? Well, with the water left running you can cause a lot of grief. |
| July 20 | Vegetation Destroyed. The Big Island of Hawaii was invaded by vegetation-eating teenagers. Now the whole island looks like a volcano. Hmmm. |
| July 19 | Rare Whales On Waikiki Beach. Hawaii entertains over 6,000,000 visitors each year. These are the rarest of the rare. The very rare whiteback, redneck whale. |
| July 18 | Martians Invade Hawaii. You saw what up in the sky? Well, we have 'em, too. Yep, Martians. They look similar to tourists but they don't spend as much money. |
| July 17 | Cindy Replaced by Vernelle. So, you thought Cindy Crawford was Pepsi's girl, huh? Look again. This lady can handle a can. With her lips. |
| July 16 | The Denture Hobby. Isn't everyone doing this? Look closely at these smiles and tell me they don't look like dentures. Tomagotchi, look out. It's a new craze. |
| July 15 | Violins in the Circus. As an official, card-carrying Child of the 60s, I held out great hopes for my kid's musical fortunes. Drums? Guitar? Sax? Nope. How about VIOLINS? |
| July 14 | Arab Sheik Not Clueless. Here's an excellent shot of Ron posing as an Arab Sheik who adopted two small homeless boys and a Puerto Rican housemaid. With large lips. |
| July 13 | Don't Swim at Six Flags. We didn't have many vacations in the early years after the boys were born. Six Flags was less than two hours from our home so we went there. Whew. |
| July 12 | Midget Cowboys and Horses. It isn't often you find a show as exciting as Sigfried and Roy. How about Joshua and Jonathan, the Midget Cowboys? |
| July 11 | Bald Children. Rare photo of all five family members together. And smiling. The boys seemed to enjoy the winter snow in Missouri. Vernelle remembers it, too. |
| July 10 | Children Found After Chase. Wild stuffed animals can be difficult to train and keep in a domestic environment. This story has a happy ending. |
| July 9 | Diving For Sunken Treasure. There's always treasure and a little danger awaiting those willing to dive in to the deep blue seas. Also the backyard pool. |
| July 8 | More Twins? There must have been something in the water. Twins were sprouting up like mushrooms after a rain. In five months, our congregation had five births. |
| July 7 | Twins Date Madonna? Say it ain't so. You'd be surprised what cute, cuddly little boys can do to a woman's heart. Not to mention what they can do in their own pants. |
| July 6 | Baby Taking Bath. Yuk. They're so cute afterwards. Sometimes. Teaching babies to clean themselves in the first few months can be rewarding. |
| July 5 | Feeding Twins. How does a mother feed two baby boys at the same time? Caution: This photo contains graphic material which may be hazardous to your eyes. |
| July 4 | My Brother Darrell. Pictures are worth a thousand words. Not that many words here. But the pix are interesting. Guess which one is 'really' my brother. |
| July 3 | Kid's Rule The World. Watch out. The neXt generation is here. And they're ready to rock and roll. From the crib. You'd have thought Vernelle gave birth to monkeys. |
| July 2 | It's a GIRL. Or so the President of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society thought. Read an exciting prediction as to what the baby would be. And why it was wrong. |
| July 1 | Vernelle is Pregnant. This is an absolutely beautiful photograph of Vernelle nearly ready to give birth. Fortunately, she waited awhile. But not much. |
