4th of july

i realize this is out of order, but i didn't get any pics from the 4th, so i had to wait on my mom to send some - our family rented a pool, got some buddy's bbq along with mom's baked beans, janet's cole slaw, and grandma's potato salad, mmmmm - that's a party. nathan was a hit as he caught the boys as the flew down the slide... jace... caleb... then gavin. and there's grandma walking carly. she made an appearance in the swim suit, but we didn't get a picture this time - carly, not grandma.

the night ended with nathan, caleb and i, sitting in the driveway in pjs watching the random acts of fireworks in our neighborhood. the next night, nathan and caleb drove down the street to catch grace's fireworks - he's been asking for fireworks every night since. by the way, some of them squeek like a mouse, he says, they are also very bu-t-ful.
