After Joey's Birthday celebration, Heidi and Joey headed down to the hospital. So the kids and us headed over to Uncle Patricks to roast s'mores in his back yard. Luke had a lot of fun and enjoyed eating his treats, Molly stayed far away from the fire pit, so i didn't get any pictures of her.Luke wanted to take a picture

Anna Kate

We had a great visit with Anna Kate (and Jenn) this week! I came down stairs this morning and saw Cheerios on the little table in the family room, and it made me sad they were not still here! I guess I better clean them up. She is very smart and has a great memory and she LOVES to talk. Having Fun

Showing off her new haircut

July 4th BBQ

Had fun getting together for a BBQ Sunday after church. Jennifer and Anna Kate were here visiting, and it was a nice day to have some outdoor fun. But I should have gotten some pictures off of Jenn's camera, because these are all I had on mine, maybe she can add some on, hint, hint.

(Thanks Jenn!)

(You're Welcome!)

Cute cousins!

The only picture I had of Luke.

Happy 4th

On this very hot 4th of July we had a pancake breakfast at the church, rented and watched movies in the afternoon, went out for a nice dinner, and watched fireworks at Joey's and Heidi's in the evening. I did not take very many pictures, but we had a good day celebrating America and all our freedoms we have and being thankful for all the people who have made this freedom possible for us!!Happy 4th of July!

Ready for fireworks

Oh No!

Thumbs up if you are liking the fireworks (notice Molly is NOT giving a thumbs up)

All Joey could enjoy was the sparklers, while recovering from back surgury.

Go Brianna
