4th of july

We had a busy day at home.
Here's the list:
soccer play
painting flags (all but mama)
rib making
refreshing smoothie drink
water balloons and fights (or tosses)
corn shucking
grilling bacon bombs
swimming and sliding in the pool
a yummy dinner of ribs, corn, french fries
a walk to stretch our legs or as William said "for no good reason"
fireworks/smoke??
another desserty drink
dirty and tired children parents to bed

We had fun and Harkin said it was one of his best day ever because of the ribs. So cute.

During the past two and half months we have been busy with soccer. All the boys have been playing and enjoying themselves.

Even Izzy got in the action on the sidelines or in the backyard where games are played almost every day.

I was thinking we would have a break during the summer but no. The big boys are playing once a week locally(thank goodness) and then all three boys go to soccer camp for a week. Harkin's is only an hour a day but he is SO excited for it. 

William will begin pre-season the second week of August, so you can say we are a bit soccer crazy around here. Hard to believe my oldest will be playing for high school already!!

We celebrated Daddy's birthday(a day late) with a big meal and his favorite pie. Pretty low key this year but ended up just right for us this season.
Thanks E for being an amazing father and husband. We love you always and forever.

First day of summer called for a popsicle. Harkin has been waiting for this day. All Spring he kept thinking it was summer since it would be hot, but we tried to explain that there was an official first day. So we tried to make it a little bit special. Popsicles were a hit.

His big year. He turned 14 on the 14th. He's towering over his mother and almost reaching Dad.

We had a good day celebrating our first born. Presents, bowling, ice cream sundaes, dinner and a movie. All together as a family.

The younger ones think their big brother is pretty awesome and I have to tell you they are correct. He is a sweet young man, whom is bright and passionate.

We love you dear William and thank you for choosing us and making me your Mama. Wishing you a most wonderful year ahead.
