Happy 4th of July

It always seems like a day, ok may be two late in posting to our blog. We had a wonderful time celebrating the 4th with both our families. We spent the 2nd and 3rd at the lake with my family, including Jeff and Jen who were in town from New York. It is always great to see them, we don't see them nearly as much as we'd like.

We swam, swam and swam some more - in the lake, in the pool, etc. Avery even enjoyed her first middle of the lake swim in the lifevest. She did so good, especially when you consider she was in the middle of a laking swimming at 13 months old. Of course, we forgot to bring the camera on the boat...next time.

We watched the fireworks on July 3rd on the boat at the Ritz. I can honestly say that I love all fireworks - something magical about them, but nothing compares to watching the fireworks on a boat with some good WINE. Brock was so cute and keep standing on one of the coolers and yelling "Ladies and Gentlemen...the fireworks are about to begin." It was hysterical.






On July 4th, we got up early and came back to town to meet our friends, The Mathes, and Travis' family for a parade. The kids had a great time and we enjoyed some candy and good old American patriotism.






Later, we went to Heather and Jason for a BBQ and got the best SURPRISE. In January 2010, Brock and Avery will get their first cousin - Yes, that is right, Heather is pregnant. We couldn't be more excited for Heather and Jason. We know firsthand the wonderful joys that parenthood brings and what a lucky little "Peanut" as we have taught Brock to call him or her. Heather and Jason will be amazing parents - I mean they've had on-the-job training for the past three years with our kiddies. They're going to be so much more prepared than Travis and I ever were.
Again, congrats Heather and Jason. We can't wait to welcome little "Peanut" into the family.

After some naps and swimming at the pool, we headed out to Wills Park to again meet the Mathes and enjoy the fireworks.







Fun was had by all this weekend. We hope your family enjoyed the weekend as well.
