Slowly but surely, we're making progress here! We're only a couple months behind - which wouldn't be too bad if it hadn't been such a fun and crazy summer! Our 4th of July was pretty laid back. We had fun waking up early and going with our friends to see the hot air balloons. They had this HUGE Coke bottle hot air balloon that was supposedly the tallest hot air balloon in the world. They actually flew it - but stayed pretty close to the ground. Despite being woken up early after playing hard the night before, the kiddos actually did great, thanks to our friends bringing plenty of doughnuts to keep them happy!
We are so sad that our friends will most likely be moving in less than a year - we're hoping they dont' move too far away! We've learned so much from their sweet family.
Nathan and daddy
Kassi w/ two doughnuts and a whole lot of personality. Check out her doughnuts too - once you get over the face :0)!
Drew and his buddy with their favorite balloon - what boy wouldn't love a ginormous Darth Vader?!?
Sweet Jesi with her favorite balloon (the one in the sky).
Later that weekend we were invited to my mom and Kim's home. We had a bbq, a few fireworks, and roasted some mallows for smores. It was a super windy night, but we enjoyed ourselves and always enjoy getting together with family. Stacy and Ryan were kidless (the in-laws stole their girls for a week), so Stacy adopted Nathan during the fireworks - well, actually, we did get her to tell us that night that she was expecting, so they weren't really kidless afterall :0)!
G-pa taught Drew his roasting techniques and the girls went for it as well. Oh, and I'm never one to pass on a hot, gooey smore either! I think Nathan even had his first taste of smore that weekend. I think all the kids fell asleep on the ride home that night. They got to see a few big fireworks on the drive home. We also enjoyed having Andy's older brother come over Sunday evening when his family was out of town. It was a fun weekend.
