Sunday Splits

Sunday night we got together with the Clarks for delicious banana splits and a slideshow of Ash and Heidi's trip to Europe. It was so much fun to see all the amazing places they visited and the beautiful things they saw.

And then of course we had to play a few rounds of Telestrations. Noah's "pregnant woman" has to be one of my all time favorites.

Shia LaBeouf for "cannibalism", ha ha!

More eating people!

Noah's "nerd".

Family Saturday

The new Despicable Me movie was so fun!

Heidi and Ashlyn got back from Europe on Friday evening so we were eager to see them and hear all about their trip. After the moive we headed over for some swimming and catching up! The guys got right back into their rough basketball play while Heidi told me what they did and saw each day.

Ash and her friends, Payton and Liv.

The football pass game got a little intense!

My albino buddy!

After our wonderful afternoon with the Clarks we headed down to Mom's house to clean the pool and have some dinner. Empyting the filter often leads to gross little surprises.

Such a lovely evening.

Even Mom's cats came out to enjoy it.

Love days spent with family.

Independence Day

Our 4th of July started off with the musical 1776, one of our favorites!

But the rest of the day was definitely different this year. Ashlyn and Heidi were in Europe and Mom and Bryan decided to stay home and catch up with soccer games so it was a smaller group of us.

We hung out in the pool for most of the afternoon.

The boys played every man for themselves basketball...

David was pretty proud that he beat them all! Cute little Ciara took a few shots as well.

No traditional 4th of July food for us this year. Savannah asked Ryan for Cafe Rio so we had the Mexican vibe going on. It was delicious!

After dinner we did several rounds of Telestrations which we all love. We always have to capture the best drawings!

We headed home before it was dark so we didn't even watch the fireworks, though we definitely heard them until the late hours of the night. Although our celebrations this year were a bit different, we still had a wonderful time together.
