Home again and Independence day

Jack was so happy to come home to his Daddy! We didn't expect him to have a beard! It felt so weird kissing him with such a shaggy face!

The Shumway and Jones families came over to help us celebrate the 4th of July!

Boy was it hot here!! The pool is over 75 degrees!

The Dad's made some pretty awesome waves!

Jack took a break from swimming to do some lawn mowing

Carter loved the fountain!

Then we were off to watch some fireworks!

We got the best spot! I think that we'll go there again next year!

Me and my cowboy/lumberjack looking husband. I think that I'm liking it more and more

It took us a little while to get out of the neighborhood. The kids all had fun standing in the sunroofs!

Before

After

The next morning Ella lost her top front tooth! She was eating breakfast (toaster waffles) when she bit down on something hard. She spit everything out and there was her tooth!

Although the kids talk about Wisconsin everyday, they were happy to come home too. They liked sleeping in their own beds, seeing their Daddy and playing with all of their toys.

They were being pretty silly

We have a lot going on in the next couple of weeks! Summers not over yet! And Ella starts the second grade at a new school in a couple more weeks!
