Happy Birthday Uncle Jared

Our kids loved having Uncle Jared Lund here this past weekend. His birthday is Tuesday so we helped him celebrate this weekend. As you can see he started the day in the Arizona sun playing in the pool!

Jared's niece and nephews loved playing in the water with him!

We had a great pork tenderloin and polenta for lunch.
For dessert we had Jared's favorite Eclair Cake.

Everyone gave a good effort trying to blow out his candles!!

We ended our day at the baseball park! Thank goodness they use air conditioning in Arizona! The temp outside at 8:00 pm when we headed home was still 105 :) Happy Birthday Jared. We are glad we could help you celebrate!!

4th of July Fireworks!

Adam and Andy put on a fireworks show for the kids this year! We had fountains and sparklers which kept the kids very entertained.

The little ones thought they were a little on the loud side though! Lucky for us the neighbors didn't think so!

I love this picture! Alex had fun watching the sparklers.

Addison moved around and waved her sparklers a lot more this year!

As always Adam was a little cautious at first, but he warmed up and started having fun by the third sparkler :)

4th of July Water Fun

We spent our 4th of July pool side this year! Our friends the Ashton's invited us over for swimming, food & fun.

Adam had a great time swimming without his floaties! His swimming lessons have been worth every penny :)

Addison is still feeling the need for her vest, but she didn't let that stop her from having a fantastic time on the slide!

Alex is our daring one! He found this ring that gave him way to much confidence in the water. As you can see he went down the slide all by himself.

At swimming lessons yesterday he got to the point of taking off the ring and jumping into the pool by himself. He even jumped off the diving board with me in the water to catch him. He truly has no fear which is a little scary for me!
