July 4th 2010

The 4th of July fell right in the middle of moving mayhem.  This was the most exhausting, busy week of our lives.  I hate moving… I'm using the word hate here....  on my tombstone I want it to say, “Moving Blows!” – Brian Matthews..
Always up for some procrastination, I was pleased to find non-moving activities on the 4th.  We started the week with Jase, Jane, and the kids at Jane’s grandparents house on the lake.

This was a period in Olivia’s life when she discovered the joy of stepping off of a step and running downhill.  Pure childhood joy:


This is probably the dirtiest Olivia has ever been in her entire life.  A perfect combination of dirt, sweat, watermelon, Doritos, and a runny nose

With Olivia’s sanitary condition and Trey helping with fireworks I’m surprised CPS wasn’t called.



The next day we hit up the parade....


Trey put on a star performance as usual:


Then we watched fireworks from the boat.
