I even remembered to upload everything on Friday this time! I guess I don't take pictures with my phone as much as I thought as there were only a few from this week, but here ya go!

1) Jason was being pretty cute at the grocery store and decided to try on the sunglasses.  He even took them off and put them away when I asked him to!

2) Kermit here was hanging out on the cord to our pool cleaner and was also there 2 days later when we went swimming.  Instead of swimming with our friend I scooped him up with a bucket and tossed him over the fence (sorry Amy!)

3) Jeff being superDad and letting both kids hang on him

Phone Photo Friday

opps,  I thought I posted this Friday, sorry!

Can it be alliteration if they don't start with the same letter?  English majors help me out.  Anyway, you get the picture (haha, see what I did there)  I normally take so many photos during the week with my phone that I decided to post them somewhere and here you have it citizens.

Happy 4th of July!

I hope you all had a fabulous Fourth.  Ours was certainly fully loaded!  We started the day by doing some yard work to make the house look pretty for our upcoming party.  We spread mulch around the plants and swept up all the petals off of the back patio.  Jeff mowed the lawn, the kids played, and I snapped a few pictures.

We came in, cleaned off and put the kids down for nap.  Then we got down to business.  Our old dishwasher wasn't doing the job.  So I convinced Jeff to get us a new one and after shopping around we picked one and brought it home to install it ourselves.  It ended up not being as complicated to install a dishwasher as I thought or Jeff made it look easy.

After all that work it was time for some fun in the pool where Jason got to play with his new toy, Ahab the fish.  After getting dried off we all went out to dinner, what a treat!  After dinner we relaxed a bit and then I dragged the family out to try some photography things.  As it was getting dark we headed over to a friends house to watch the city fireworks.

During the fireworks we had a few uh-oh moments.  Elizabeth toppled her chair over and I yelled at Jeff for not watching her.  Jason tried to chase a ball into the road, in the dark, right in front of a car (talk about heart attack!)  We all came away mostly unscathed (I twisted my knee, but will survive) and in the end had a pretty good Fourth of July.
