July 4th Weekend

The weekend following the 4th of July was a busy one.  We had lots of guests.

Here is our house waiting for people to arrive.

On the morning of the 4th it was quiet in our house which made me 

wonder where the little boys went.

I went searching and found Levi.

"Levi! What are you doing?"

"Webi yook at pickers gwamma"

Here is part of the crowd. Chris does not look very happy.  Must have been the gnats.

Here is my goofy Sister in law.  I told her I was going to post this and she didnt say no.

And my kids taught me that if I didnt say no, it meant yes. :)

Here are two of the boys loving their poppers.

I can still hear Mason giggling.

Levi was pretty happy about his too.

However, he wasnt very excited about a bath in the sink.

This was the youngest guest.  

Arriving around December 24th.

It was hard for me not to pat him/her but I had self control.  This time.

Visiting was tiring.  Or maybe it was the driving to get here.

Here is the decorated area.

Those red white and blue 

M&M's came all the way from Colorado.

Thanks to my daughter.

Here are one of the treats I made.  

I was only going to make enough for the kids.

It's a good thing I made extras.  They were a hit.

I made this too.  It was delicious. And gone.

The next day there was work to be done.

Chris and Marcus worked on replacing the upper part of our roof.

They were waiting.

As Superman was cutting the metal.

The little boys were watching the big boys.

And yes, the big boys made me nervous.  

I tried not to watch much.

 The green roof will be history soon.

Stayed tuned  for changes later.
