Happy Birthday Leo!

 Judson's Buddy Leo turned 4, and his party was July 13th!

It was a Superhero Party, so Tammy made all the kiddos CAPES!

 His cake was just about the cutest thing EVER, and the taste is out of this world!!!!

 Our Four Year Olds!!!!

 The Whole Crime Fighting Crew:

 The Pinata...oh boy:

I have these pictures because Tammy sent them to me...I was having fun visiting with my friends while the boys were having the time of their lives on this slide!

Nine Years

 Paul and I celebrated our Ninth Anniversary this month!

He brought me these beautiful flowers:)

 Made me SMILE!

 And they stayed beautiful forever!  These pictures were taken after about 5 days!

On Saturday after our Anniversary, we got to go out to a nice dinner!

We started with the Chinese Calamari:

 We both enjoyed the Salmon Special:

 and Paul finished with this Banana's Foster Cake...I had the Creme Brulee:)

Happy Nine Years My Love! 

It gets better every year!

Gymnastics

 The boys have been taking Gymnastics this summer!  

They have had so much fun at it, too!

I wish it was something we could do year round, but the cost of it is crazy, plus I think I might go nuts with it plus baseball practices and games, plus school, plus LIFE!  It has been a GREAT summer activity though, and we'll likely do it again!

For some reason on only have still shots of Paul David doing some of his activities!

Paul David has learned so much!  Judson has too, but it seems like Paul David has really taken off with it! 

Monsters University

We met up with Murphy and Fletch one rainy day to see Monsters University!

The boys LOVED it, and have wanted to watch Monsters, Inc a million times since then!

I do believe this was the first movie Judson will remember seeing at the Theater!  He has told everyone about the HUGE TV we got to watch the movie on!

That next Friday, we went to see Despicable Me 2 with my Mom, too!  I guess I didn't take a picture of that:(

Judson's Duck Lip Selfies!

 I was uploading the pictures off my phone one day, and found this series of pictures:

Cracked me UP!

It drives me nuts sometimes that I can't use my phone because one of the kids has it, but it sure does make me laugh when I find something like this on it:)

Our Little Americans!!!!

Fireworks

 We ended the evening with The Fireworks Show!

Trying to get artistic...didn't really work:(

 What a FUN couple of days celebrating our Freedom!

God Bless America!!!!

4th Swimming

 For the Fourth, Paul smoked a couple of briskets, made mac and cheese, baked beans, cabbage and corn!  

I made these cookies, and actually, Judson and Mimi made the cookies, I just frosted them, and made them sorta look like a flag:)  I think I need a smaller star cookie cutter to create the look I was going for!

 After the parade, we SWAM, and some flew in the air!

 Judd made the mistake of seeing how high he could throw them, and from then on that was pretty much all he did!

 Judd and Paul...friends for a long time!

I'm so bummed that I didn't get any pictures of April or Michelle:(  

Must remember next time!

Fourth Of July Parade

 We were SO EXCITED for the Fourth Of July this year!

April, Preston and Kendall came and spent 2 nights with us, AND Judd and Michelle did, too!

We had a house full, and it was WONDERFUL!

We swam on Wednesday after everyone got here, and Paul made fajitas!  It was YUMMY and Fun!

On Thursday morning, we headed to the 4th of July Parade:

There was a weird coolish front that had come through combined with the great spot Paul, Mike and Judd got us, we didn't even break a sweat while we were at the parade!

It was great as always, and the kids got a ton of loot and candy!
