Festivities

We had a good 4th weekend. We went to my parent's house and had lots of fun festivities. Sparklers were a big hit.

Helping Grandpa fix the sprinkler system.

Licking the beaters after helping Grandma make a cake and frosting Yum Yum!

We hardly ever get Erin to smile in pictures. I thought this was a cute one. We had loads of fun at Grandma and Grandpa's. Liam even got his teeth cleaned for the first time. He liked the dentist's chair and got to wear cool sunglasses so the light wouldn't get in his eyes. He did a great, great job. He sat really still and wasn't scared a bit. Thanks Linda for doing that for us!! We went to the parade, saw my cute nephews in the band, and on the 1st place soccer float (Way to go Gio!!), had a BBQ, played with sparklers, ate lots of yummy food, played, visited and just had fun. It was way too short, but we had a good time. We drove home and Erin wouldn't get out of the car because she wanted to go back to Grandma's house. We weren't about to drive three more hours, so we pulled her crying and screaming into the house. Liam carried a picture of them around this morning because he "missed them". I wish we could see them more often. It was also fun because five of the eight of us (my brothers and sisters) were out there and we got to see them. My nephews and nieces are getting so big! It's crazy that some are on missions, some are off missions, some are getting ready for missions, etc. etc. etc. It makes me feel old. My oldest nephew turned 24 while we were there and we celebrated his birthday. Crazy I tell ya! I used to change his diaper!!! Hope everyone had a fun weekend.
