4th of July

The month of July has been packed for us so I am a little late posting these pictures.

We started our 4th of July off with Pop-its. The kids totally loved them!

Then we met some friends (Jeffs) at Happy Valley Park for all kinds of fun!

We totally missed you Bergers, Ginthers, and Brahmstadts - I was hoping to run into you all.

Then we were off to the Wilsons for a BBQ and Fireworks!

Great friends, great food, and great fireworks.

Can you tell we had a busy day...

Blake's nap was in between stops while listening to daddy's i-pod.

Little Musician

Blake has a love for music and is one lucky little guy. He has a mommy who loves music, a daddy who is very talented with multiple instruments (saxophone, piano, drums, and now whats to learn to play the guitar too), and Uncle Shawn who plays the guitar and shares. Papa and Nana brought home the little guitar from Hawaii a few months back and he LOVES that thing. He is always putting a band together passing out instruments and getting us all to play. Ellie contributes with her "princess voice." I have a feeling that music will be in his future.

Try it...

My oldest brother Mike bet Shawn that he could not eat 4 saltine crackers without water in 1 min or less. Because Shawn is Shawn he took the challenge and we caught it on tape. I love watching my brothers do this kind of stuff!

Ellie's Man

ellie: "Do I get to have kids when I get old?"
me: "If you would like kids, yes."
ellie: "I do. I want kids."
me: "Well you need to marry a really good man like daddy - then you could have kids."
ellie: Pause...."Do I get to pick out my man?"
me: "Yes!"
ellie: "Oh, well that's good."
