Another busy week

 There's no better nap spot than on a blanket in the grass.

 We finally hung up the flag my parents gave us.  Matt put it up on the 4th and I think it looks great!

 Grandma Eagar bought all the kids a flag to wave around at the parade and they decided to pose Carson with his.

 Hanging out with Grandma and our friends waiting for the parade to start...throwing snap its to pass the time. The weather was great, we had good company, and feasted on Dominoes pizza, Krispy Kreme Donuts, and cherries while watching the hour and a half long parade.

 Then we came home and the kids took super speedy showers so we could launch bottle rockets and dance around with sparklers.  Our always wet trees and grass took all the sparks like a champ...doesn't matter here if your bottle rocket shoots right into the tree...over and over and over again.

 On my Birthday some friends invited us to their pool where we hung out for 3 hours (thank goodness for patio umbrellas making shade for babies) and had a great time.  They even ordered in pizza for lunch because none of us wanted to leave.

 On my Birthday night, some other good friends of ours invited us over to their house where they made me one of my favorite meals and purchased a Dairy Queen ice cream cake.  Apparently it's their tradition and I enjoyed partaking...I haven't eaten one of those in years! And while I don't have any pictures to document it, we celebrated our family tradition the day after my Birthday and went to Red Robin for my Birthday meal with some other friends and then came back to our house and enjoyed the special lemon cake Matt makes me for my Birthday along with the homemade ice cream he whipped up too.  Let's just say I'm super spoiled. For my Birthday present, I decided I really wanted a new garage door opener (seriously I can't wait) and so last night Matt bought it.  Oh the things you get excited about at age 35!

 This is where most of my time is spent these days and I honestly wouldn't trade it for anything. I just can't get enough of this little sweetie.

 Brady finished up his baseball season (see #4).  His team really improved during the course of the season and so the games got more exciting to watch.

Stay tuned until next Sunday.
