4th of july

Our fourth of July was pretty great. We had a BBQ lunch at Blake's parents' house where we were also joined by Blake's grandma and aunt, and then we headed over to Brianne and Danielle's for a BBQ dinner (where we were also joined by Jackie and Dave). We brought pack and plays to both locations and the kiddos napped and went to bed decently, there was excellent food, and we even ended the night w/ a new game. no firecrackers for us this year (except those we saw driving home) but that's okay with us. We're more focused on sleep this year. anyways, here are a few pics!

well look who woke up. okay, you can have some watermelon too...

yum yum yum...

danielle was having a temper-tantrum. okay, really she was telling us stories of her trip white water rafting with junior and high school kids from our church that she just returned from.

 a glimpse of the future... (no no no, I am not saying that jackie's pregnant).

pretty typical. hanging out on the grass, my kids eating dave's shoes, danielle taking pictures... actually, it's only because danielle takes so many great pics for me that I got to relax and put my camera away for a bit, so there aren't as many pics of this gathering... but here are two cute ones of danielle and kaylee in the hammock:

happy fourth of july!
