Fourth of July Week

This week we enjoyed Todd being home with us for several days.  He was off for the 4th which was nice!  We celebrated the 4th of July over at the Tuckers annual firework celebration.  We started this tradition last year.  We have dinner there and watch the fireworks at dark.  It's awesome fireworks and the kids love watching the show.

Then this week we've been swimming a lot.  It's been so hot that is the only way to stay cool if you go outside!  Of course all the boys love to swim, so they wanted Sarah to play in the pool with them.  She would sit on the steps and play some and of course she loved being held:)  They missed LP though, she's at the beach with Aunt Deb.

Birthday Party Fun

I can't believe we just celebrated all of the boys birthdays last Friday.  Carson just turned 6 and Chase & Chandler turned 9.  Since Chase broke his wrist at the beginning of summer we were limited on what kind of party they could have this year.  They wanted to go to Sky Zone but we didn't think Chase needing to be jumping on a trampoline while he's still healing.  We sure didn't want him to fall on his wrist and hurt it more.  We were glad that he only had to wear his cast for 3 weeks but then the splint went on for 3 more weeks!  So they chose to just have a swimming party.  We picked a good day to have it.. It was 105 degrees that day.  Good thing we did the parties in the evening!!  Thanks to all who came!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BOYS!

Birthday Fun

Yesterday  was Chase & Chandler's 9th birthday...Seems like they were just born!  We started by celebrating the day at VBS and then lunch at McDonalds.  After that we went over to Cindy's so we could make the cake pops for their party.  The kids went swimming while we cooked which was a big help!  They had fun playing in the pool all afternoon.  Later on we headed to Hartwell to get the materials for Todd to make the corn hole game for them.  While we were there we ate at LaCabana. As you can tell from the pictures Chase didn't want any part of that...he did finally let me make his picture.  With July 1 being Carson's birthday, he had to put the sombrero on and have his picture made too!
