Happy 4th of July!

We had a great 4th of July. We headed down to Pana for a cook-out at Matt's grandparent's house. We took our annual picture by the monkey tree. Sadly, the monkey tree is 1) dying and 2) casting too many shadows, so we moved to "the shed." I think the shed will be our new place. This is the first year since Logan has been around that we did not purchase Old Navy flag shirts. Even though they are only $5, I am tired of spending money on a shirt that he really only wears a couple of times a year. So...I went with something he will hopefully wear more often.

While we were on our way to Pana, Stephanie texted me and said she was going to bring the sprinkler. Of course, she caught us as we were driving, but since we had to stop at Wal-Mart anyway, we picked up some swim trunks for Logan. Four dollars on clearance....I can handle that ;o) Unfortunately they were so long I think he will be able to wear them until he is 10.

The Godson :o)

Ava and I matched...and we didn't even call each other first!

Just barely got all the boys in the pic.

It was hot enough that even the adults went thru the sprinkler a few times. The kids had a blast taking us thru it.

After a quick visit at my parents house, we headed home. Logan did not want to see fireworks this year, and Matt and I did not want to sit in the heat, fight traffic, or deal with weirdos, we spent the night in the house watching tv. Enough people were setting off fireworks that we could see a few from either porch. Logan and I ended the night by watching the Macy's 4th of July fireworks on NBC. Now THAT is what I call a good firework show!
