Our 2nd of July...and our 4th

My sister Amber and her kids had a layover in Phoenix for a few hours on the second. Her birthday was on the third it was so fun to see her girls and hang out with her for a few hours. We went inside Erica at the hospital at work and hung out at Mill Mall. I sure love that girl. For 4 July we had several families over for a big waffle breakfast. It was a great turnout and very relaxing and fun. Everyone stayed for three hours. The kids played and played and played. Then we went to our friends house with a bunch of families and went swimming made crafts frosted cookies and have a barbecue. Then at night we all did fireworks out on the street. It was such a fun fourth of July. We have so many good Friends here. Are kids have so many playmates. We love it here.

Visiting Erika at the hospital. She is such a good aunt! The kids adore her. Jensen, Jayleem Erika, Leah, and Lilly. WE missed you Paigey.

This was on the fourth at our friends house. There was a block party going on outside at the same time so the kids all got their faces painted. They really are happy. This is our neighbor, Carson. Lilly always tells everyone that they are going to get married. Carson is unsure of how he feels about that. They are best buds and play so well together. 

This is Carson's sister, Brooklyn. She and Jensen are the same age, and they really are having a good time just didn't want to take a picture. They are the Pack family and are one of  our closest friends. They live just around the corner and conviently have a ping pong table. They are so fun to hang out with. They have 3 kids all about the same ages as ours. It was meant to be  :)
