Happy Fourth!!

Happy Fourth of July to everyone! Despite the promise of rain, we were able to enjoy many hours in the pool today with the family! Kevin cooked burgers and hot dogs and even some corn on the grill. Every thing was delicious and even Tempe got to enjoy an ear of corn and some watermelon! Can you believe she knew how to eat the kernals right off the cob? Right now it IS raining, but we are hoping it will clear to enjoy some fireworks in the neighborhood a little later on.

Today is just a warm up for this weekend, when we will have the family and some friends over for Carson's fourth birthday. Even my brother and his two children will be here. I am sure I will have lots of photos to post after the party. We are getting Carson a motorized Jeep for his birthday -shhh don't tell - and can you believe those little cars have working FM radios these days? Seriously, we may be driving to work next week in that thing. Carson was really cute this year, wanting his party out back in the pool with just family and a hand full of friends that we consider family. Should be a really nice time. Check out his skills in the pool these days!!

And speaking of skills in the pool! Colby has become quite an awesome swimmer! Last weekend he came in fourth place (freestyle) out of 12 boys in the 6 and under age bracket. He also got his best backstroke time ever in that meet by limiting the number of circles he swam in. He really is improving and we are all quite proud of him and you should see the muscles and tan the boy has developed!! Stay posted as he qualified for the Championships in late July.

We are all really enjoying our summer and maybe that is why I haven't posted lately, but I promise to try and do better! There are some pictures out there to look at there if you hit the link to the left. Take care! Love, Carolyn
