Happy early anniversary and happy 4th of July

      Greg and I bought ourselves an early anniversary present....

Happy 19 years to us!
      Our Fourth of July was extra fun this year thanks to a family in our ward who invited us over for a swim party with several of our other neighbors. The kids had a blast and despite getting a sunburn on my legs it was a super fun time.
Charlie loved this floaty and was a perfect angel.
All the kids loved jumping off the diving board.  Brock is jumping in this photo and Carter is climbing out.  (Yeah, he's the weird kid wearing the life jacket like a diaper.)
That's McClane on the diving board.  
Here's McClane again.  He loved jumping off the diving board and thanks to the life jacket he didn't drown.
Brock absolutely loves the water but he did have one moment of panic but thankfully our neighbor was watching and snatched him up before we had a serious catastrophe!
Carter, as well as Isaac and Mark, did some awesome front flips off the diving board.  Don't ask me why he's wearing the life jacket that way.  Silly kid!!
And what are brothers for if not to help you into the pool.
Carter again headed into his front flip.
     These photos do not do justice to the fabulous yard this family has and I didn't take photos of all of it but it's large and absolutely spectacular.
     Our evening celebration, with about 100 other people in our neighborhood, was pretty fun and thankfully without injury. And this year one of our neighbors spent some money and we had some pretty awesome fireworks that we all got to enjoy. It was the first neighborhood "sidewalk of fire" where I actually had to lay down to see the fireworks go off.
        And to make this week complete McClane had a quick and easy potty training experience!!
       And Charlie has discovered her favorite baby...

She just loves this cute baby!
     And Kayli went to the doctor for the first time in years.  (Don't worry she just has some weird thing going on with her big toenails.)

     So there you have it, our week of FUN!  And now that the Fourth of July is over it's time to start thinking about what we are going to do for Christmas!

BIG TOENAILS? Is the problem that her toenails are too big, or she has some disease in only the BIG toenails? jk Anyway, I love the deck furniture, the baby in the mirror and the beautiful yard with the pool. Reminds me of Tom Bean's yard and pool. So gorgeous.....and what wonderful generous people to invite everyone over to swim! Looks like you're having fun this Summer. Happy Anniversary!
