Scott is SO nice to let us come boating with him. We pack up a cooler of sandwiches, drinks and treats and head up to Jordanelle. The four kids really get along and it's fun to watch them play on the boat and in the water. I love that they watch movies up and back on the drive so Jer and Scott can talk and I can play on my phone. I really look forward to these day trips! I could live on the water. It's so nice being out in the sun on the water with great friends.

Enjoy the pictures of our latest excursion. This is the time Jeremy got sick and we had to drop him off on shore so it was just me, Scott and the kids. We looked like a happy little family...with 4 kids!!

Tre and Ellie (they really do love each other-we'll have to keep them separated when she hits the teen years :)

Ellie and Parker loving each other (for now)

Jer and the famous finger

The kids and I had a fun field trip day full of parks. First was the Skate Park where I was entertained by bikes, scooters, skateboarders, jumps, hills, falls and speed. Next was the Splash Park to cool down after being on the hot cement for 2 hours. There the kids ran, crawled, walked, jumped and swung their way to some fun. The best part? IT WAS FREE!!

4th of July Fun

The 4th of July is my all time favorite holiday. To start the day off we get up bright and early to pick up Butter Cream Maple Bars from Harmon's. Then it's off to the Murray Parade.

In this collage from top to bottom and left to right:

Belle showing us her huge muscles after ripping out 6, yes 6! pull ups on the Marines float. She had the WHOLE crowd cheering and shouting. I was one proud momma. I was the one who taught her how to do pull ups.
Jeff and his favorite little punk niece, Belle.
Belle and Tre hanging from the tree waiting for the parade to start.
Braden and Tre being...um, cool. Is that the right word?
Belle wrapped up in her blanket. It was a little chilly in the morning.
The BOYS: Jer, Braden, Tre and Jason standing by Braden's new truck!
The back of Belle's shirt and a picture of those cute patriotic bows I made.

Next up come swimming, diving board contests and a BBQ at Grandma and Grandpa's house:

Tre

Kara (she didn't want a picture, but instead of flipping me the bird...like some people I know, she covered her face then decided to just cheese it)

Jeff and Belle swimming

Tre showing me his injury. He and Braden were playing "light sabers" when Tre fell onto his handle which scratched and bruised his chest.

Typical Jeremy and smiling Jeff

Steph and Kara getting a tan

Braden passed out in the hammock chair. He was up at 3 in the morning to save our seats for the parade. What a great guy! I guess we'll let him sleep a little.

Anabelle was the first one in the pool and the last one to get out. She is my little dolphin. I love taking pictures of her when she doesn't know it. That's why there are so many. Such a cutie!!

To end our (looong) day we go to Murray Park for some games, food, laughs and FIREWORKS!:
