4th of July

On the 4th we had a BBQ for friends and family who helped us move over a year ago. Hey, we may be slow, but we're still thankful. We had about 30 people show and spent the day swimming, eating, visiting and finished off with fireworks...which Cole is deathly afraid of and watched from his window in the safety of his bunkbed. I have found that it is difficult to throw a party at your house, tend to four kids AND take pictures so I was lucky to get a few.














Chase was less afraid of the fireworks, but that's probably because he found comfort in his Grandpa's arms. (Check out Aunt Michelle's belly! Charlie is almost here!!!)














The kids got to do sparklers after the "show".














We added a new pool toy and I tell you it's been the best $10 I've ever spent. They spend most of their time climbing onto it only to fall off almost immediately. It was alot of work to get this picture.














Last but not least, Chase had an 18 month well-baby visit and weighed in at 29 lbs. That was after having the stomach flu for 2 weeks! We love our Meat-hook! How can you not want to kiss this mug!?
