These last few weeks have been awesome and busy! Especially this last weekend because of the holiday, and also because it was Nephi's birthday. The fourth was fun we didnt do a lot, mostly because it was on Sunday, and then also because I wasnt feeling well and took a super long nap, but then we went to Azusa for the annual fireworks extravaganza. You know, the crazy war zone type of fireworks, where everyone up and down the streets has all sorts of fireworks and firecrackers, its crazy! The kids and Nephi love it though, this year was really the first that the kids really got into it, and didnt hide at all! Then on Monday was Nephis birthday, and this year I planned a small surprise party, mostly family, and a few friends. It was so much fun and Nephi swears he was actually surprised! I tried so hard to be smooth and convince him that nothing was up! The funny part was that I tried so hard that he actually thought I was mad at him when we went out to dinner just before the party! Anyways, Thanks to all those who could make it, I really appreciated all the help and love! Nephi was in such a bad mood this weekend, mostly about getting old and all that it means, and it was just the thing to bring him out of it! So thanks everyone for helping me to show him we love him!
We, and I mean especially the kids had a blast at the party because we had some great friends there! Here is Lily with Hailey and Ella.
Nephi blowing out the candles on his fabulous cake!
The birthday cake I finished in 2 hours :)
Nephi was a little anxious to get started.
Nephi, ready to wack the heck out of the pinata.
Fourth of July pics:
We were lucky to have Josh and Aubrey at the 4th of July celebrating in Azusa, they were lucky enough to have crazy Lily jump in on the picture! Love you guys!
Nephi and Jake were taking crazy pictures, and I think even they were surprised when this one turned out pretty cool!
I love this picture, the kisser was my nephew Nathan, he is such a sweetheart!
Anna had sparklers for the kids, Thanks Anna! Another great fourth of July celebration!
A fun day at the beach with our friends this last week, this was like the first really hot day of this summer, and it was just perfect for the beach!
Our favorite thing to do this summer is get free food from chickfila! Last week Lily and I dressed up as cows and got free combo meals!! It was great and a lot of fun! Jake and Cody refused to participate so it was up to us to get the free food, and we did pretty darn good. Jake refused mostly on the basis of people staring at him, and Cody was just in a bad mood! He'll regret it someday!
