July 4th weekend...


Hello lovelies!  We hope that you had a great long 4th of July weekend!  We had a great time filled with food, projects, and the occasional tear (and I am not talking about the kids)...more of that to come.

We made some trips to the park...


Paetyn is in a "bandana" stage...
  
P and dad working on their swings (P got a shiny new set of clubs a few weeks ago)...



some bbq'ing the Rector way...





and of course some firework fun with friends... 




and we also:

went on a date,
cleaned out the garage,
got 3 pieces of furniture done,
watched 3 new movies,
took some naps,
had some friends over,
and finally my 3-layer 4th of July cake...


This is where the tears come in.  I don't want to talk about it.
