24th Festivities and Other Fun

Happy Birthday 'HeHe'. We have two 24th of July birthdays in the family. Cousin 'Hehe' and Jeff's sister Emily. Although Emily lives in Idaho, so it's not a holiday there :) We had a fun party

A vision in yellow. Grandpa with Baby H. We didn't plan it.

I can't for the life of me get this picture to rotate. So turn your head. The kids played a bunch of games and had a riot. Here's the 3-legged race.

Gunnie sack (pillowcase) race. This was a favorite.

The bean bag toss. Kids went first.

Then the adults went. It got a little crazy.

One of the bean bags ended up on the roof. Big and little man got to retrieve it.

It was a fun party. In addition to our family, my Grandpa, Aunt, and cousins joined us. It was fun to get together with them. Two of my cousins have babies just younger than Baby H (one with twins). It was fun to let all of the girls play. They are all adorable and I of course didn't get any pictures. Oh well, next time.

Imaginations at work.

I wonder why when imaginations are at work, messes are bound to be made. The boys are definitely creative. On this particular day, we were getting ready for a (pretend) party. Big man got plates out for everyone.

And then proceeded to make lunch for all-peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (on Ritz crackers), carrots, and capri suns. Great fun.

Baby H is a little monkey. I was hoping we could be in the crawling only stage for a while. She moved right into the climbing and pulling herself up stage.
Don't you love her little belly hanging over the couch :)

It's been a fun and busy week with more to follow this upcoming week.
