4th of July!

Both Jae and I were on vacation for the majority of this past week. It was nice to have such a long break and hang out as a family. While I was hoping for a very nice, relaxing break, our time off ended up being filled with friends, errands, and cleaning - there was minimal relax-time.

Wednesday brought a day of fun which started with family time, migrated to a BBQ at Grandma/Grandpa's with Julie and her grandbabies, and then ended with another awesome BBQ with our friends. The last BBQ was filled with lots of fun as we played lots of games, and the guys had (in my opinion, too much) fun with fireworks. See below picture of them playing roman candle wars...

Thursday ended up being a (mainly) relaxing day, just ran some errands and picked up the Goobster...

Friday, the kiddos and I went to Julie's pool so Kaeden, Connor, and Kelsey could play. They had such a great time swimming - and to my happiness - after they were done, they were pooped :) Not enough though to keep them from eating fudgesicles :)

I was a little bummed that it was Sonja's weekend to have Goob, as we had been having so much fun... but she picked him up Saturday morning, and the remainder of Saturday for us was spent mainly running errands. Aunt Laura was nice enough to watch Bennett as Jae and I went out to a nice dinner alone at Redstone :) Then we finished off our weekend hanging out and doing some much-needed cleaning :)

Here's hoping for a more relaxing week!
