Pictures-4th of July

Somehow....we managed to get a patriotic photo ;)

The Japanese Beatles MUST die....my brother, the landscaper, laid down a tarp and sprayed

the tree good....everything you see that is black is PILES of the bugs....it was sooo nasty!!! I think the next project at Mom and Dad's is chopping down the trees that seem to attract them.

Our little marshmellow girl is getting bluer eyes every day ;)

Isaac and Chelsey....always smiling ;) we call this: TWITTERPAITED......

Ellie is perfectly happy just to play with her toes...God has truely blessed us with her happy personality.

"Uncle" Logan came to have fun with us too.

Playing with Aunt Julie....

Ellie's first time with watermelon.....and she LOVED it!

We had a great relaxing day yesterday hanging out with my family....grillin' out....playing hillbilly golf and ending the day with awesome fireworks. It's a family tradition to go to the small town of Sibley, Illinois and enjoy the festivities there. The kids did great with the fireworks.

Gabe promptly wrapped his monkey arms around Daddy's neck and faced the opposite direction of the beautiful show. Every once in a while he would turn around and say, Wow! But the rest of the time he buried his face in Daddy's neck and said, "Go in car....go in car....all done....all done."

Then he fell asleep. Lil Miss Ellie just sat on my lap and took it all in then she too fell asleep. We got home late and they slept in til 10 this morning...it was sooooooo nice!!!

Hava great rest of the weekend!
