4th of July

We had a fun 4th of July at my parents' house this year. We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and swam in the pool! The weather was perfect almost all day until a thunderstorm came that evening. We enjoyed some fun in the sun and playing in the pool. We missed Joe as he was out on the carrier, but glad he came home just a few days later.

Although Joseph is 3 now, he still loves climbing up in "his" high chair at Nan and Pop's house. He's ready to eat!
Maddy is ready to eat too...
Never and easy task to get everyone to look at the camera. Haha....





Joseph shared the shiny stars with Maddy, but she didn't really like them.

Ready for a swim..


Joseph loves jumping in the pool...





I love this pic of Joseph listening to Pop telling him to kick
Maddy had fun playing dress-up with all her red, white, and blue!


Joseph loves riding his tricycle at Nan and Pop's. He loves riding his big boy bike too!
Joe came off this big boat....USS Dwight D. Eisenhower on July 6th.
He's home! The last time I went to pick him up off that carrier was last July at the homecoming from the deployment he went on. I was certainly glad he only went out for less than 2 weeks this time! Happy July friends and family!
