My James' Birthday (oh and America)

James turned 31 on July 4th. We went to his mom's house to hanve cake and ice cream, then we did fireworks with the kids. James' mom made us spaghetti for dinner, and let the kids sleep over. It was a fun day! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!

The kids added some extra decoration to the basketball cake.

Jordan, the only one who cooperates with my picture obsession.

 The kids were really excited about the cards they made for their dad.

 See no one pays attention to me! Except Jordan

 Ms Ava

 I told them I needed a good picture before they could have sparklers. I love bribes.

I can't wait to spend another year with my sweetheart. :)

Carter Turns 3!

For Carter's third birthday we had a little party at Wheeler Farm. We fed the ducks and Geese, ate cake and snacks, went on a wagon ride, and looked at the animals. It was SUPER hot. I thought I was going to melt (and I looked like I was melting. Ew)

camping!

James and I went camping last weekend. It was so fun! James picked the most perfect spot. it was at the Spruces Campground. We had a Creek, a dead tree for firewood, and it was close enough that he could run to get batteries which I forgot.

We arrived, put up the tent and started the fire. James went to get batteries for the air mattress punp while I cooked our tin foil dinners (which James had never had before. Whaaaaat?!)

We ate, went for a little hike, then sat by the fire roasting marshmallows, making s'mores and such. It was so fun spending time with my honey. I loved it!

So it ended up being an unusually cold night. And we ended up leaving at about 1am and going home! Haha we are pansies. :) But we still had fun.

Thanks to Jessica for watching Carter during our little adventure!

 Our tin foil dinners were fairly successful.

 Our creek helped keep our drinks cold.
