The Fourth of July

We had an absolutely busy, but wonderful day. My parents took us all out to see Superman Returns. It was so, so, so, so good!! Even the kids loved it! Then later on we went to my parents house to have a BBQ and do fireworks. There was so much food, so I got to take home a lot of leftovers (which I love to do). The fireworks were a lot of fun, and the kids had a blast with the pops. Donovan put a whole bunch in a box then threw them all over the cement. It was so cool to hear that many pops and see little sparks wave across the pavement. Anyway, I took a ton of pictures, so here some of them are.


Donovan, Sean, and Alayna on the See-Saw with Uncle Stephen.

Summon The Tooth Fairy

Alayna has had quite a week, and is quite a bit richer too. She lost her first front tooth on Monday, then her second today.


Missing One.

Missing Two.

Funny Story

On our way home from my grandparents house, on Father's Day night, the kids and I were talking about eye color. Donovan mentioned that he had baby blue eyes. Then Matthew chimed in and announced that he had 'daddy' blue eyes.

How cute is that?!

It's so beautiful!!!

Happy Father's Day

Today is such a special day, when we recognize all that our dad's have done for us. Today we send a shout out to the one who has given so much of himself, our daddy, and husband, Jeff. We love you so much, and are so proud of you. Happy Father's Day!!!

This is one of my favorite pictures.

Sunburn

Can you say OUCH?!! Next time we go swimming, I will put the sunblock on the boys' backs instead of entrusting them to do it for each other.
