Fireworks over the lake

Here are some shots I got Sat. night of the fireworks over the lake. Such a beautiful sight to see.

I love these kind, they always remind me of palm trees:

Sparkler fun

On the 4th we had a wonderful time. We got lots of fun fireworks for the boys and of course sparklers. Chuck went a little overboard but I am sure glad he did because we have lots left and the boys just love watching them all even the small fountains. :D We had a nice time with the family. It's so fun watching all the boys together. It was Nevin's first time with a sparkler so I had to get some pictures.


Chuck had fun writing my name and "I <3 U"


Nicholas and Nathaniel liked making circles around themselves:

We had a great time. I will have more to share from last nights "competition" over the lake. All the neighbors come out to their docks and set off what they have. We didn't know about it until we were doing some and one of the neighbors came and asked us to do them out on the dock so everyone could see. They had some REALLY cool ones. We had already done most of our bigger ones the night before but we still had fun watching all of theirs.

Big brother

Just Have to brag about Nicholas for a second. First can I just say I LOVE this boy! Seriously I could not have asked for a better big brother for the boys, he is so good with them and has been such a BIG help to me with everything. Not to mention how freaking handsome he is. :) Time sure flies, he will be in 1st grade this year!

Purple

I am not good with flowers when it comes to knowing their proper names or even if it is a flower and not a weed. These purple flowers caught my eye, I just think they are so pretty and love how many different groups and solo flowers there were. I also had to play with some texture because I just think it works for these.

I attempted to take a few shots of my "view" lounging on the couch when Nevin crawled up to cuddle with me. There is just something about this shot that I love and wanted to share.

Hey at least I can still see my toes right?

Butterfly

This Butterfly must have been sick or hurt because she was just hanging out letting Nevin pick her up and walking all over him.


Yes he was out there with nothing but a shirt and undies, Don't we all wish we could run around like that on the hot summer days?


She even posed for some shots alone.

Little fishermen

The boys have a new hobby and daddy is thrilled to have them enjoy fishing as much as he does. It is actually nice and relaxing because they know to "be quiet or you'll scare the fish off" I must say they are actually quite good. Nicholas and Nathaniel that is, we won't put a hook on Nevins yet because he still loves to swing the pole around. He does love to help daddy get things out of the tackle box and touch the worms though. I was a little freaked out when Nicholas caught his first fish because it was a catfish and they sting but Chuck took care of it for him and let him know. Here are a few snaps of the boys fishing.
