what we did last week {6.28.10 - 7.4.10}

~ jodie and i made a stop at hobby lobby and chik-fil-a before the long drive home from lehi on monday.  why is the drive home so much longer than the drive there?

~  i don't have very many 4th of july decorations so we had a craft day with lots of glitter and made a few.

they are both really fun, but i really like how the framed ones turned out.

~ i had a birthday. dave planned a little lunch for me. invited my sister over. ordered us olive garden. he went out of his way all day to make sure i felt special. that was nice. enjoyed getting birthday wishes from friends and family.

~that night jake had their first all star game. they played great. they played again on saturday and won that game too. there's nothing like watching baseball in 105 degree temperatures.

                           

~ we celebrated coda's 2nd birthday at the sprinkler park. once again calie planned a super cute party. mickey mouse this year. the birthday boy was in such a lovable mood that day. it was great.

~ on friday night dave took me to see the viva elvis show for my birthday present. it had some great parts and some not so great parts. but i still really enjoyed it. it was nice to be on a date with hubby too...

~ on the 4th of july we went to church. then later that evening the family came over for a bbq. the kids played on the slide and trampoline and  there was even a water balloon fight. there was tons of yummy food like usual. i think everyone stuffed themselves.

at one point someone got the hose out...

i'm sure you're not surprised who it was.  :)

when it was just about dark we headed to the front yard.  the kids went through their boxes of snaps/pops in record time. then we sat and enjoyed our safe and sane fireworks and a few not so safe and sane fireworks of the neighbors.

my dad always says... safety first!

once again after all the fireworks were over the kids had fun playing with their glow in the dark necklaces. some juggling was attempted. and lots of contests to see who could throw theirs the furthest.
