4th of July continued

So the party was alot of fun. Good food, swimming, friends, and the kids even saw some fireworks in the distance.

Above are the homeade apple pies I made. They were a huge hit but it took me like 10 minutes to convince each person that I actually made them. Granny may not live on through me with quilts but she does now with pies :).

Here is Nicholas on Aggie's shoulder. He was pretty fussy most of the party. He doesnt like being hot and I think he is still out of whack from having no routine from all our hospital stays.

This is our Pastor Dan and his wife Shelbi. The party was at their house. Dan reminded us of why we celebrate 4th of July and that this is still a christian nation. The covenants God made with our founding fathers still hold true today and God hasnt forgot them.
Here I am in the Hawaiian dress my mom brought back for me from her honey moon. What you dont see and Im bummed I didnt get a picture of it, is Will was wearing the matching shirt. When everyone said "oh you match" I told them it was Will's idea :). No one believed me. It reminds me now of my mom and Uncle Eric when they were young lol!

Reanna had a blast. She was fearless. She would jump in the pool and I would let her go under before pulling her up and that smiling face is what she would do each time. After she banged her ears to get teh water out. She is so strong too she would climb out all by herself.
Here are some pics of Graisan. You have to look hard though cause she's so skinny :). She is going through this "I am too cool stage". I suppose we all go through it. She is pretty cool though, she will be an amazing woman one day. We just need to make it through the teen years lol.

Aly had fun too even though it may not look like it from this photo. There was another little girl Sammie there about her age that she played with. The funny thing is Sammie is her exact opposite, girly to the max! It was fun hearing those two play together. Sammie wanted to play princesses and Aly was like Ewwww!

This is River......enough said.

Alex looks so much like Will to me with long hair. He acts like him too. Here he is with his future wife. I cant believe he will be legally able to marry in 2 1/2 years. Creepy cause I dont feel that old.
This is a better picture of Shaila with her mom Shelbi.
Last but not least we had an uninvited guest. A couple of them actually. They didnt bother me so much but Shelbi wasnt pleased with them at all.

So it was a great night and it must have been a doosy cuz we all slept in today until noon and totally missed church! And there was no drinking involved. Must have been the pie :)
