.: July 2010

...the fourth of july...

our fourth was pretty quiet and uneventful...but it was kind of nice. My parents and jess' parents are always out of town on the fourth enjoying some out of town fun...so we kind of are use to doing our own thing.

the boys made flags...and conner now knows that we live in the united states of america...but sometimes if you ask him where he lives he likes to throw you for a loop and say Mexico...still trying to figure out why...interesting...

abigail was of course there for it all...and of course she was as happy as ever...little sweetheart...i seriously would love to have triplets if they were all just like her...she's so stinkin sweet and happy all of the time...

After church on the actual fourth we just hung out and had a BBQ. I'm super sad that I didn't take any pics of our yummy food that we put together...but it was sooooo good!

The menu consisted of:

Hamburgers of course with homemade buns...yummo

homemade black bean salsa...double yummo

baked beans

fruit salad

and for dessert i made a fun fourth of july cake

(i got the idea from makeit-loveit.com)

by the looks of it...i'm pretty sure that jace enjoyed his cake

Conner after throwing a fit...he's kind of giving us a run for our money right now...he was super excited for the fireworks though

a little family fourth soccer

Once it started to get dark we headed out to watch the fireworks. the boys were super excited and we all had a ton of fun. its just fun for me to watch the boys be so excited...and thats including jess...he was pretty excited for the fireworks too. : )

proof abby and i were there

all together i think that we had a pretty successful fourth of july...

abby got a little bling...

i never really thought that once i had a girl that i would pierce her ears while she was a baby...but once i finally had her that all changed. she just looks so stinkin cute i could eat her up...

before bling

after bling

still just the happiest baby ever...

brotherly love...

i love that these boys are super good buddies...

well most of the time

something fun...

here's one of my projects that i finally photographed! i saw the tutorial on making this wreath on maryjanesandgaloshes.com and i just couldn't resist! i loved the butterflies and the fact that it's made out of brown paper lunch bags...

Where has the time gone...

my sweet little stinker Jace turned two last month...June 13th...to be exact. i just wanted to post some adorable pics of the handsome kid before it gets too super late...

i just melt whenever i see that stinkin cute smile of his...and he knows it...

oh conner...he does love himself a good cupcake...but seriously who could ever turn down a red velvet cupcake?

lovin the new soccer goal from grandma and grandpa

his dad was a happy man once he saw how much the boys loved the squirt guns...
