Happy 4th and Happy Birthday Daddy!

We had a blast with the James' Gang on the 4th of July celebrating with grilled food, swimming, sidewalk chalk, and dancing to music!  We made it home that night in time to watch the national and local fireworks on tv.  Marlee loves playing with Reed and Kalei!

Dave got off work a little early on Friday, so off to Centre we went for the weekend, and we made good time too!  We took another load of stuff to storage, then went straight to the lake.  I was still very warm, but the water helped!  We got to see Bev & Case before they left town, and Carly stayed all weekend, so she and Marlee got some good playtime in.  Jon & April, and Brandon & his friend Ashley (and now roommate) came into town as well.  Marlee and I went to the hospital with my dad when he went to do his rounds Sat morning, just like me, Ashley, and Matt used to do when we were little.  She got a tour and to show off to the hospital staff.  ;)

We celebrated Dave's b'day on Saturday evening with Chick-fil-a chicken, bbq, cookie cake, and frozen yogurt.  Plus, I made some blueberry margaritas... yum!  At dark we rode with Joseph, Kelly, and Marcus on the boat to watch the fireworks at Chesnut Bay, and they were really good!  We got lots of good hangout time, sun, water, food, and drinks.  My parents and grandparents came over as well.  And Marlee sang "Happy Birthday Dear Daddy" over and over again... so cute!!!!  The pic above is the only picture of the three of us from lately.

Now on to planning her birthday party, April's baby shower, and Ashley's baby shower!  The end of summer/beginning of fall is always such a fun and busy time!
