July 4th with the family

It has been a long weekend, but I wanted to get these pictures on here before the work week starts - we sure missed Tara, Ann, Susan, Thom and families at PB this weekend, it was good to be there and spend some time with family.

The highlight of our time there was the POOL - Grandmother and Grandpa had actually just had it filled about a week ago, after some repairs and all of the rain/cool weather in April and May. But with the 95 degree temps, the water was wonderful, not a bit too cold! The kids loved it, Jace had a good time being the big cousin to Sam and Eva, both in and out of the pool.

Grandpa got his pitching arm back in shape throwing balls for Jace to catch mid-air

Isn't Henry adorable!?  Look at that grin!

fast asleep with his mouth hanging open)

Sug and Sugette (about 10pm, all three kiddos fast asleep!)

Eva noticed that she and I both had "shiny shoes" on,
and wanted me to get a picture!

It was wonderful to be there with Grandmother and Grandpa - they have such a beautiful home, and they really enjoy it when we all come to visit.    Just wish we could've all been there together!  Hopefully soon.  Hope everyone has a good week.
