happy 4th of july!

the boys ready to camp!
audrey ready for the parade

defending our turf at the parade..waiting for back up..
















This year was very HOT at the parade. i only got one picture because i was in the shade with audrey for the whole thing.





bucket baths! joey was thoroughly exhausted by the end of the day. unfortunately, i didn't take any pictures at the shower. being a mom of two young kids is exhausting!! between nursing a baby and making sure joey didn't head for the lake w/o a life jacket..no photos were taken.hopefully erin got some and can post. it was a fun day. we got to paint cool pots for dan and becky, and learn a little bit more about them with 20 questions.






grandma and grandpa with their babes








the skubic gang brought sparklers!
















heading down to the dock w/uncle jeff










the skubics and joey and derek braved the weather and stayed in the tent last night. i stayed in the screen porch with audrey. but neither my mom or i got any sleep, we kept waiting for everyone to come into the cabin because of the wind, rain and lightening. this was at 8:00 am








bentley fell in love with celia. too bad he's not quite a lap dog at over 100#.








always a fight over who gets to hold audrey.








joey's sand box was a huge puddle after all the rain! we went worm hunting! it was a hot 4th of july with may firsts..audrey's first tower parade, first bucket bath, joey's first time jumping off the dock and staying in a tent. thanks mom and dad for hosting the shower and for letting us stay, and thanks to the skubic gang for enduring torrential rain to camp in a tent!

Yes, thanks Becky and Paul for hosting such a lovely bridal shower for Dan and Becky! Neither heat nor flies could keep us from celebrating another family wedding...the rain/tent/thunder & lightening/story will make for good telling over the years. Happy Fourth!!!

Happy 4th! Thanks to your parents for hosting a wonderful shower - maybe next time we drive so we don't have to leave before the storm comes in. Audrey's dress was so cute - she just had the briefs on by the time we got to the parade, so I never saw it. It was a hot one, but still good to see everyone. I can't believe Derek and Joey made it to morning in the tent! Hope to see you guys again soon.

It was TORRENTIAL rain! I can't believe you were in a tent! Our boat was about 1 inch from sinking! Looks like a lot of fun memories were made! :)
