Hello again everybody. We've had a really busy sumer filled with lots events and activities. I'm WAY behind on my posts and will try to catch up one of these days. I think that I deserve a little break due to the fact that I have a child who has been sleeping really terrible the last month. Don't ask me why but he has decided to be worlds worst sleep (maybe even worse than Emily was, maybe). I've had no energy lately and I'm so tired ALL the time. I know that this too shall pass but it's been rough.

Anyways, let's go back to the 4th of July. We had a fun filled weekend with family and friends. Lots and lots and lots of HOT DOGS! It was so funny because every BBQ we went to had almost the exact same food. Hot dogs, hambergers, chips, watermelon, baked beans, etc....
We started off on Friday the 3rd by taking the family to Yorba Regional park. The kids had a great time playing at all 4 playgrounds and feeding the ducks.





That evening we went over to some good friends of ours, the Ventura, for a BBQ. They had a bunch of friends and neighbors over and it was sure a great time. The kids had the best time playing together, they had a pinata, lots of yummy food and desserts, poppers, etc.
I love this train. The kids could play on it all day long.

Jack was never without a candy or cookie in his hand

On the 4th, we started off the morning with a pool party at Matts parents house. It was a gorgeous day and the pool felt so good. Merlyn and Shirley were also down from Clovis and Tim and Heidi and all the kids came too. Both of my kids love the water and Emily loves playing with Ashlyn.






That afternoon we went over to my grandparents house for another BBQ and water games and homemade ice cream. After all that good stuff we went outside and did fireworks. All of the kids love doing that stuff, except Emily. She doesn't like fire or loud noises so the whole thing scared her. But I will say by the end of the night, she made her way to the back of my dads car to watch from inside. That is a very big step for her from last year. I'm really not sure who likes fireworks more the kids or Bryan and Matt.
