4th of July Fun

We went to Mike and Jennifer's for an afternoon cookout on the 4th! We all had a great time. Only one mishap and thankfully it was not as bad as many are.....one of the lg fireworks fell over and the bottom blew out....the inside packing - NOTHING ON FIRE- came out the end with great power and hit Jake....he tried to block it with his hand so- he has bruised finger tips and a HUGE bruise on his thigh!! WOW was that ever enough to put an end to a fun night! This mom was running - yep girls it's true- I can still run!! :-) He is fine= just bruised and sore !! Otherwise, the night was a blast!!





We had so many party invites this weekend - it was awesome but almost too stressful to figure out which one to go to. On the 4th we went with family - as Steve is back in touch with his siblings and it has been years since he has celebrated anything or had fun with them.....and it was just that- great fun, pics and memories. :-)





The 5th we spent crossing many things off the 'honey do list'. Steve with Koda created the ring toss game for Christmas in July! Very cool, will post pics soon!! ( Need to place an order- call. :-) The pool is up and ready!! The basement is MUCH cleaner. yadda yadda








The chefs - complete with their refreshments. Mike Jr and Steve Sr - boy they look a lot alike as they get older.























the kids all played volleyball


















Koda being the typical Koda Clown!! :-)

A glow stick as a nose ring? The connector broke - he was oh so creative!!
