had and her momma doing sparklers!

fun!

i've never been a big fan of being any where near fireworks.  I remember going to buy them with my mom and dad, and asking "this one's not loud, is it?!" 

 If it was loud, i didn't want to buy it!

afternoon at the lake with my carmen and adam!

my second themed dessert, cupcakes to take to our friends.  white cake with cookie dough filling, and chocolate icing!

baby parker and her momma watching some fireworks!

 hard to tell with this sad iphone 3 picture, but it's 3 grown men, trying to get the army parachute man off the electricity line.  one of them, might or might not be my husband.  

we had a fun weekend, surrounded by lots of friends and family.  and you can't beat that!  

a bruised head board, and other summer fun!

1.  We went on vacation, it was so fun!  More pictures coming later from our adventure at sea!

 2.  I got to see my sweet friend Jeane (I had major dress envy, she always dresses SO cute!) at our friend's wedding!

 3.  S. Clinton  Stanton, Jeane and myself at Leslie's wedding, so fun to catch up with these girls!

 4.  Leslie and her hubby dancing at the reception, beautiful!  

 5.  Upside down picture of the girl who calls her forehead her headboard, more on that later.  

 6.  Hide and seek is a fun game, especially when the hider yells out where she is when you ask! :)

 7.  Picture of Joe and Grandad taken by Hadleigh, her new hobby is photography.  

 8.  Our matching hats, oh how I love this girl.  

 9.  Haddie takes a picture of Ahmi, and it turned out very centered, and once again I am impressed with her 2 1/2 year old photography skills.  

10.  A bonus with no picture (thank goodness!).  Hadleigh and I got to spend a lot of time together this week, and we went to the school playground Thursday evening.  I was walking on the jungle gym and talking to her about being careful, when I walked right into an over hang, and almost knocked myself out.  My injury was right across my forehead, and Hadleigh said and I quote:

 "Ahmi!  Did you hit your headboard?!?" 

Umm, yes I did, and then instead of crying, I was laughing because she says headboard.  So she kissed my headboard, and told me it would be all better, and it was!
