On the 4th of July we had some friends over for a BBQ, fireworks, water games, and badminton! It was so much fun. We are thankful to have friends here - they make it much easier to be away from family, especially on holidays.



Josh & Ava. Ava is a bit older than Josh, by about a month and a half. She is so cute and petite!



Maya and her buddy, Benjamin.



Nick getting smoked out cooking the weiners!



The kids had fun with water balloons and the sprinker even though it was a pretty cool day.




Carla & Chandra, the trouble-makers of the group...

Me & Kassie, don't know what's up with my hair.


The newest baby of the group, Luke. (& Jake)






Maya had a hard time sharing her toys with the other kids. This was after one meltdown she had, I had just taken her swimming "soup" (as she calls it) off and she got up on the bed to watch all of the action outside. She was really upset and kept saying, "My Friends, My Friends!!!!" I had to get a picture!

Our family


Little babies.....and Maya




The fireworks were a bit loud for my boy's tender ears


Future friends...Luke and Josh.

That picture of Kelly and Jordan is hysterical!! I also love the fact that behind it is Benjamin preparing to hit Bella in the head with the black tub. It was just seconds later that the screaming errupted and you caught the evidence on film! Thanks for a really fun party.

It was a lot of fun, thanks for having us over. I think it brought out somehting in my husband I didn't want to see =). And ya know, I was acctually looking at the pictures of us girls with our babies for the first time today and I know I was gaining weight being pregnant, but come on, being next to all you skinny girls makes me freaking look like a bloated cow in all those pics, they need to be erased!!
