We spent Saturday with our friends Kaitlin, Taylor and Alyssa at the pool. It is always nice to have the guys with us. The kids preferred to play with their daddies and it gave us girls a chance to work on our tans :)
Jack and Alyssa are a funny pair. They get so excited to see each other and then they fight the whole time they are together. Jack torments poor Alyssa and teases her. I can't believe she ever wants to play with him. I am hoping we are having another boy. I just don't think Jack would quit bugging a sister.
Jack loves getting pictures taken. Can you tell?
On the 4th, we started off with daytime fireworks! I have never seen them before! These are smoke fireworks shot off from Mount Vernon (George Washington's plantation). We sat a little downriver from them and got a great show! It is so cool to live so close to so much history! Especially this time of year.
We were still in our church clothes, so we just rolled up Jack's pants so he wouldn't destroy them.
Jack found the puppy of his dreams. They sat in the shade together and played. It was love at first sight. I tried to get him to ask Jay for a puppy because I thought it might work better, but his language skills just aren't quite there yet :)
Later we met up with Kaitlin, Taylor and Alyssa for fireworks on Ft. Belvoir. It is the army base just a few miles from us. We thought of going up to the National Mall to see the fireworks but decided against taking Jack up there to fight the crowd with 300,000 other people. Our choice was wise and we had a great time on base! They put on a great show.
Jack and Alyssa really do have a fun time together....as long as there isn't a toy or snack to fight over :)
I thought I got a lot more pictures but apparently I didn't....so Kaitlin, I stole some from your blog :) Now you don't have to worry about emailing them to me :) Ha!
Kaitlin is 35 weeks along and I am just a measly 15. Doesn't she look great?!
We really like spending time with the Read's. Unfortunately they are moving to South Korea in a couple of months. I don't want to talk about it.
Aren't these two the cutest?
Once again Jack was really put out to have to have his picture taken while he was trying to play.
My two handsome men. I am one lucky girl!
Hope you all had a lovely 4th of July!
