July 4th


As we do every year, we spent the evening at church, watching fireworks all over Arnold. I didn’t really take pictures besides mine and Maggi’s mini photoshoot. We were showing off our half sleeves. After we got home and in bed, I got the pleasure of listening to more fireworks outside our open windows until I finally was able to drift off some time after midnight. Fireworks during the proper hours are great. But c’mon, after midnight in a subdivision? No thanks!

Do not feed the ducks :(


I’ve been wanting to take the boys to feed the ducks for a long time. Arnold park was the only place I could even think of that allows it. Well, Arnold park finally reopened after being closed for a long time (due to flooding.) So we packed up the family and headed to the park. The first thing I noticed is that there were no ducks. Probably because of the second thing I noticed. A sign that said “no duck feeding!!!!!” (Probably worded a little differently) Well, that sign wasn’t going to ruin our fun. We headed to the playground on this beautiful July 1st (with weather in the 70s!!) The boys had a lot of fun. They need more opportunities to run out all their energy. We need a house with a huge backyard. It tends to feel really cooped up in our house and you can tell they are a lot happier outdoors.

Even daddy danced his way down the slide. This picture just cracks me up.

Then these fools met up with us for a bit.
They took the picture, not realizing that I have the power to post it.

I asked Stef to snap a picture of our family. Maggi took this one with my phone.

We had a fun day. It isn’t over yet! We’re about to go snuggle up on mommy and daddy’s bed to watch “Night at the Museum.” The boys don’t know it yet. Kingston is about to go to bed and then we will surprise them. They think it’s so fun and special to watch a movie in our room so I’m excited to surprise them!
