4th of July

The fourth of July this year was super fun!  We hung out in the pool for a few hours and relaxed, enjoying the beautiful US of A.  Later that night we were invited over to the Shaver's for a BBQ and games!  Matt and Amy were there so it was super fun talking, eating, and playing with them.  We played Pounce...woohoo!


Then we went with Matt and Amy to Jared Shaver's neighborhood to watch the fireworks they were setting off.  It was great!  Can't have a 4th of July without fireworks!  There were so many kids in that neighborhood...so fun!




They also had some of these illegal types.  Awesome!


And that was our 4th this year :)  Thanks Matt and Amy for the fun!

Brea! (again)

So after San Diego we headed up to Brea to spend a few days with Jenny and the girls!  It was such a fun time!  We got there Thursday evening and got to have dinner and play with the girls for a while.  Then we played some games and ate cookies with Jenny :)  The next day was a big day of playing soccer in the park and swimming!

I was quite the photographer at the park!  I learned a few camera tricks and shot all the photos of Jenny and Carter.  I think lots of them turned out super cute!  I also took a few really cute ones of Carter.  I was very proud of myself!

Kicking around the soccer ball...

I took this one!!

What a cutie!!

Jenny got this one...so cute!

Chasing the ball
 

Me and my buddy :)

Billy and his fan club

Seriously couldn't get enough of this face!

I LOVE these of Jenny and Carter.  That boy sure loves his Momma!




 

Playing


I love this one!

All three sliding down the slide together!

This one WAS going to turn out cute until that random boy ruined it...

Best friends

Next stop...taco bell then the McBride's for some swimming!  Dang they have an awesome pool!  It was super fun.  Sierra and Whitney are so fun.  Jenny got so many good pictures!  Get ready for an overload.



This shows how crazy those girls were in the pool...both trying to push away from me and swim different directions!  Ahh! :)

We love these girls!!!



Billy loves this one because his arm looks big :)

Haha!

Walking on water...



This also shows how crazy Whitney was!  I'm trying to keep her afloat as she swims/drowns toward Billy...crazy girl!

After swimming we went home and started to watch Tangled.  Whitney had to have her princess dress on and her lip gloss.  She was SO funny with lip gloss!  She wanted it on all the time, and when she had it on she wouldn't close her lips all the way so she talked really funny.  It was so cute/hilarious.

Then we had dinner and then went to get Golden Spoon!  Yay!  It was really yummy and fun until Whitney fell in the fountain!  Poor Whit.  I felt so bad, it was totally my fault.  I started chasing them when they were up on the fountain...bad idea.





Bath time after getting her owie...talking to uncle Billy makes her feels lots better :)  I love this picture.  She is being so serious in her duck towel.



That night Carter was having fun playing with me!  Yay!


The next day was the girls soccer game!  It was kind of a disappointment because it was actually just picture day, but it was still fun being there with the girls and we got a few fun pictures of the girls in their uniforms.

Stretches...


Billy played some soccer with the girls since they didn't get to play at all
 

After the game we went and got some lunch, then later Jason's parents took care of the kids while Jenny, Jason, Billy and I went out to get Korean food!  It was so fun and definitely interesting!  They served us this yucky fried fish first...I didn't eat very much of it but I tried it!  I decided I don't really like Korean food that much.  Most of it is very yucky and/or spicy.  We were the only white people in the restaurant!  I'm sure I'm the only one there that had to ask for a fork...haha



Jason was loving it!  

It was a blast!  It turned out the girls were running fevers over at the Sneddon's so we rushed back to pick them up.  Sad!  That night we watched Pitch Perfect with Jenny and Jason after playing with Carter for a while :)  He loves grabbing mouths!  He is such a cutie though...so smiley!


The next morning we woke up at 5 and were out the door by 5:30...can you believe that?  We really wanted to beat the heat to avoid any car troubles.  And we made it back safely!  What a fun trip!  Thanks to everyone who fed us and housed us for a while!
