Happy Birthday Matthew!

Today is Matthew's 4th Birthday. He has been so excited for this day. He came running into my room early this morning and yelled "Mom, say Happy Birthday to the Birthday Boy!" I think he's had a really great day. He had friends over this afternoon and then family over tonight. Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate his special day!

That stinkin' pinata wouldn't break so I had to get violent with him

I regret that I didn't make his birthday cake - bad mom!

Harrison was just as excited as Matthew, very cute!

Summer Fun

My sister and her 4 kids came to stay with us for a few days last week. We're so glad they came to visit! We had a movie night, played outside, went for bike rides, Jen & I canned spaghetti sauce and just enjoyed being together. One of those days Judd came home from work early and saw the kids going down the slide and into the pool and decided to join them. Then Jen gets her suit on and attempts a few runs. Judd had the kids chanting my name to go down. I thought what the heck and so I went, in what I was wearing. Sadly there are no pics of this! You'll be able to tell that we need a rectangular shaped pool for the adults to truly enjoy this experience!

And now you see why we need a rectangular shaped pool

All in a days work!
