4th of July

We went over to Justin's dad's for the holiday weekend. We headed over on Saturday afternoon and it was really hot! We went to two parties, one on Saturday and one on Sunday, both at the same place! Then on Monday we went to the firework show in Cle Elum, which was insane. There was some kind of problem and it caused a few of them to shoot an blow up in the crowd! Thankfully we were sitting in the back of a truck that was parked pretty far away! It was pretty scary.

I used to really love fireworks before I was a mom, now not so much. I mean, they are pretty but I'm always worried that something bad will happen. I haven't lit any off in four years! Well okay, sparklers, but thats about it! I leave all the big stuff to other people.

Anyway, here are a few pictures of the girls before the fireworks started. I wish I would have brought my tripod to get some good shots of the fireworks. I got some okay ones, but I know they would be way better if I use my tripod so I could leave the shutter open for longer. Eh, there's always next year.

Playing at their grandpa's pond on the 4th of July.



Poor girl. If you look closely, you can see her black eye & fat lip. The black eye was from falling out of the truck because she was messing around with a dvd player in the driveway at grandma's house a week ago. And the fat lip was from wrestling with her dad and hitting her mouth on the headboard the day before this picture! She hit it so hard that it pushed her two front teeth inwards far enough for her to not be able to bite her teeth together. I pulled them forward and back into place the same day and they seem to be fine now. That girl has the worst luck!



Its kind of a crappy picture, but I thought it was funny!

Haha look at her face!

Hank. Ready to pounce on Chopper!




Throwing rocks into the pond.

 

The Newest Member of Our Family

This is Hank, our new puppy. He's a nine week old purebred Gordon Setter. He was the runt of the litter and definitely acts like it! He is such a little firecracker, I'm sure he will be a fantastic hunting dog for Justin.

The girls just love him! In the morning to wake Jordan up, I put Hank in her bed and he just attacks her with crazy kisses all over her face. Logan likes it when he chases her around then she runs and jumps onto the couch where he cant get her and she thinks it's hilarous!

Chopper, our miniature pinscher/chihuhua, did not like Hank at first. He wouldn't go near him and wouldn't even come to me when I called him. It was like he was mad at us for a couple of days. He has finally started warming up to Hank though. In fact, as I'm writing this, they are both laying down and Hank is resting his head on Chopper! They'll be the best of friends in no time! Hopefully.

Well that's all I've got for now! Its late and I need to finish packing our bags for Easton in the morning! Have a safe & Happy 4th of July!

A Hilarious Throwback

Jordan's 1st Birthday

Ha! This was back when Justin only cut his hair once, maybe twice a year. Lets just say I'm so thankful this phase is over. He looks like a dang tree-huggin' hippy!

Swimming With Sprinkle Pigs

Sprinkle Pigs. Thats what they call their toes when they get wrinkled from being in the water.

These girls could stay in the tub all day if I let them. Seriously. They are both water babies! We go swimming once or twice a week with their best friends and they are absolutely crazy about it! Jordan is getting REALY good. When I take off her water wings, she plugs her nose and goes all the way to the bottom to touch the floor then kicks her way back to the top! It makes me so proud! She's gonna be a pro in no time! I just got Logan a set of water wings and she's getting the hang of swimming with them on. She really likes floating on her back with them on!

I'm kinda sad that the pool will be closed for the next 2 weeks. Who knows, maybe we'll try a different pool until then!

Softball in Wenatchee

Last weekend we went to Wenatchee for Justin's softball tournament. We had a pretty good time! They didn't win the tournament but it was still fun. We stayed at a hotel, it was really nice. I just wish the pool wouldn't have been closed!

It was supposed to be 77 degrees on Saturday but it ended up raining pretty much the whole time! So here are the girls cheering the team on! (Something about Jordan in this picture reminds me of E.T Ha!)



Justin up to bat!






I love everything about this picture <3

Playing in the fountain!

Ha!
