Flashback

Just a couple of little things I wanted to blog before I forget them. Fathers days was a fun day. It was so much fun to watch the kids try to show Aaron how much they love him. They helped make him breakfast in bed. Gave him the cards and coupons they had made in school. All day long he was showered with gifts (used toys) wrapped up in blankets and towels. The cutest one was when we went to bed, I turned the covers back and was arranging the pillows and under Aaron's pillow was a collection of plastic dinosaurs and action figures the Chance had left there for Aaron to find. It was a sweet way to end the day.

On the 4th of July we spent the day with our neighbors. That week spareribs had went on sale and we were able to get 10 pounds of ribs for $10 which was a smoking deal. Aaron made some of his best ribs ever. They were delicious and really hit the spot. After dinner we went over to the neighbors and had a bonfire with smores and watched them light off their hundreds of dollars of fireworks. We definately got the best end of the deal. We provided dinner and they provided the fireworks. The kids sang the star spangled banner all day long and we are still trying to convince Anna that it is not "Jose can you see." Cait declared it her new favorite holiday as long as we live in Washington where we can set off our own fireworks. It was a wonderfully relaxing day. The only thing I wished we could have done, is went to see a parade somewhere. I have decided that I really enjoy parades, next year I will have to seek one out.
