We had our Fourth of July over this past weekend.  The weather was cool, but nice!  A few drops of rain a couple of times.  It didn't turn out to be as long as some had hoped.  Amy had to go back home early, as well as Todd, because Amy's father passed away.  Here are some photos.

Tim got this idea from a woodworking video.  You saw some cuts in the log and pour the oil that you buy for candles  into it.  Instant campfire!

Hunter got a lot of fun out of Conrads toddler pool.  Doesn't take much water to make Hunter happy!

Sandra had this fantastic idea for packets.  You spoon the food that you want into the foil and put it on the grill.

Conrad and grandpa exchanging caps.

Vegging out by the campfire.  Good relaxation!

A fun canoe trip.  Susie went along on her new kayak.

Some swallows nests.

A few recent pictures.  Conrad and Grandpa on Father's Day.

Hunter came to visit Grandma and Grandpa for a couple of days.  This was something I saw on Pinterest.  Baking soda and vinegar.

We had two birthdays recently, celebrated together, Hunter and Sandra.  Here's a picture overload!  Susie made a really cute cake made with pudding in it, so it was very moist.  Sandra likes Bert's Bees products,so she got an assortment of those products.  Tim made Hunter a sandbox for his birthday and we transported it to his house and brought sand to put in it.  For the birthday we played "Pin the Nose on the Clown."  We all had to laugh at Hunter, who had never played before, and peeked through the bottom of the blindfold. These pictures got a little mixed up while putting them on - not the order I intended, but you get the idea anyway.  

I'll add a couple of pictures from Conrad's 1st birthday that Tim didn't put up on his blog.  Hunter loves his little cousin.

Hunter was helping clip grass in our backyard. 

Tim has been showing me up, posting pictures right and left on his blog :) so I thought I better stick one on my blog, so as not to be outdone.  Tim is doing a little job in the backyard by the barbeque grill, and Hunter was helping grandpa with it last night.  He was a big help!!

Tim has decided to fill in the koi pond. He lost a few of his original and best fish. Plus it is a LOT of work.... and.... so. the three boys helped wheelbarrow the dirt back in! We are grateful for the help!!!

Conrad is just big enough to sit on the bottom step! What a cutie!
