Jonah's Birthday Party

We had Jonah's 4th birthday party yesterday at H2O'Brien pool.  It's like our own mini-water park in town! After many days of 90 - 100 degree temps, this weekend was cool and cloudy.  For a while we were the only people in the pool!


























Can you tell he is in a Star Wars stage? :)

July 4th 2012

We had SUCH a great day!  Even with it being in the middle of the week.

Joe fired up the Big Green Egg around 7am.  Yummmmm shredded beef tacos.


Mari and I took the kids for a hike at Castlewood Canyon, our favorite local hiking spot.



The kids posed for a picture, only because I promised they could do a crazy picture next.



After naps, the party started!  First some pool time - the ladies chillin' and Clint in the pool with all the kids.




Joe was back at the house cooking and the other men were helping drinking.

Then we decorated bikes and scooters for the neighborhood parade.  We had a decent turnout with it being the first year.  A guy up the street brought a HUGE old tractor which was really fun for the kids to see.  We even had a few spectators.












Such a fun 4th!

Nighttime clothing "rules"

Jonah has been wearing only PJ bottoms to bed and not a top.

Jonah: what day is today?

Me: Thursday, why?

Jonah: I need a pajama top. I only go without a top on Tuesdays.

Buying "summer homework" books was brilliant!

Score 1 point in the good mom column. The boys LOVE doing summer
homework and Trey's sweet side comes out when he helps Jonah with his.

Happy July 4th!

Joe is firing up the egg and it's not even 7:30am. Going to be some
good food today!!
