Fourth of July

We packed up & headed to Cedar Creek lake. are we there yet? how much longer? i need to go to the bathroom....can't wait. can you believe it's only an hour away? traveling with kids! we stop & get bait...worms! the boys head straight to the dock to start fishing. We had a good afternoon. my sis, her husband and daughter, as well as my nephew, his wife and their son came too. We had BBQ for dinner with chips & dips. Delish! Den got fireworks for the boys but nothing too extravagant. The firework show around the lake was awesome -- better than last year. The boys had fun. we went in the house and all i wanted was a nice, hot shower and a pillow! The boys took a shower in nana's shower (it's bigger) and we got them all clean at once. then I showered and climbed into bed. Fireworks still popping outside my window but it wasn't long before I closed my eyes and fell fast asleep! ahhhhhhhhhhhh. bliss!

We came home yesterday afternoon, I fixed lunch and then flopped on the couch for a nap. The boys worked outside with den & swam. last night we cooked burgers on the grill (yum)

I got to work this morning and to my suprise, my work family brought me birthday goodies (and I thought they'd forgotten about me) :-) These gals are the best! So I've been snacking all day and I guess it's to blame for my sugar rise & fall throughout the day.

Next weekend we're having a b-day party for dalton -- he'll be 12! YIKES. I have to get details sorted out. Call
