Happy 3rd of July!

Sometimes Neal and I think our little Iowan town is a little weird.  That being said the fireworks for the 4th of July were held on the 3rd of July. Nuf said.

Adam doesn't like noises.  Keep in mind this is 1 hour before the fireworks started and other fireworks are banned in Iowa.

Pretty

My favorite fireworks shot. It was a full moon too.

We played frisbee, baseball, and soccer while we waited.  Besides the fact that Ryan was throwing his 100th fit for the day and Adam wouldn't move or keep his fingers out of his ears it was fun.  Good thing Coby was there to have fun!

Trestle Bridge

We took the fam to go walk to the trestle bridge in Madrid, IA.  (By the way you pronounce it Mah-drid not Ma-drid like you think it is) It was way cool!  Nice exercise, it got the kids' energy out, and the lights were fun!  Nevermind that we didn't get home until after 11pm and had church at 9am.

Adam's Baptism

I can't believe my baby is 8!!!  I am so thankful that Grandma Laurel, Uncle Reid, Grandma Kristie, Grandpa John, and Cousin Coby were able to make it for his baptism!!  What a special day.  And I didn't even cry.  Out loud.

Wainscot

Ooooh!  Ahhhh!  Yes I know that is what you are saying because the bathroom looks absolutely fabulous.  We are actually done now so I'll have to add the finale pics later.
