4th of July with Family

What a week we have had! Uncle Mike and Auntie Marlene came up Tuesday afternoon and we were able to hang out while we waited for Aaron who was driving back from Ohio and Aaron's parents who were flying in. Then the fun began...all of us in one house...it doesn't get any better! Noah thrived/basked under all the attention. There was always someone there to play with. We spent a lot of time just relaxing. Uncle Mike, Dad, Mom and I all went canoeing-what a great way to start our time together. But who knew steering was so difficult!?!?!

Then we came back and played games until Aaron got home from work. Thursday we all went out for brunch and then ran a bunch of errands. We came home to have dinner with PJ, Lai and Bowen. What a tableful, but it was so much fun. I miss the big tablefuls from back home at my parents house, so this was especially fun for me.

I love that smile!!

Noah's checking to make sure the mower has enough fluids!:)

Uncle Mike was helping Noah put on his gardening gloves.

What a silly boy. He put Poppi's hat on and left it this way

Poppi and Noah had so much fun together

It actually looks like Noah was playing the game with us:)

Uncle Mike & Auntie Marlene-we are so glad you were able to come down to spend time with us! We love you!!

Sisters!

We celebrated Noah's 19th birthday on Friday! Okay, so that's months, but I figured you'd get that.

The whole crew

Like father, like son...

Noah was very clever and figured out how to get Daddy to stop mowing so he could help!!

Poppi and Noah were good supervisors!

Friday, Auntie and Uncle left and the boys headed off to play golf. We had another yummy dinner and then we walked around the neighborhood with PJ, Lai & Bowen too to see all the fireworks. We walked into a cul-de-sac just in time to see a huge display. They all must have gone in together, but our timing was perfect! We were worried how Noah would handle it all, but he really enjoyed it. We heard the word "Pretty" a lot!! (Noah had taken a late nap so it worked out really well and he ended up staying up until 11!) We came back to the house and set off our own display.

Noah has turned into a snuggle bug!

Swimming with Daddy. The whole time we were in the pool, all Noah could think about was his Daddy. Forget Mommy, Poppi and Lolli-just Daddy!

Saturday, we hung out at the house, played croquet and went swimming...it was a perfect end to a great week together.
