Happy 4th...on the 14th

Sometime in the middle of the night between the 3rd and the 4th, Uncle Josh and Aunt Kate joined us. We, being the hostesses with the mostestes that we are, were sound asleep when they arrived.
For the second year, we were able to join our neighbors in a romping neighborhood 4th of July parade. Here we are waiting for the parade to make it to our house so we could join it without walking more than absolutely necessary.

Here it comes. They had to stop to fix the boom-box strapped to the back of the lead car. Do we still call those things boom-boxes?


Happy Birthday, America!


After the parade, all the kids met up for games. Lucas is just about to spit out a sunflower seed. It kinda dribbled out. We need to work on our spitting skills before next year.

Sack races!

Chunky-chunks!

Rub-a-dub-dub...


Me, my little pumpkin-noodle, and our many chins.

And one more because this is what we do a lot of when we are together...
