Fun 4th

This year's 4th of July began with a successful 6 hour shop-till-we-drop trip to the Gilroy outlets where my sister outfitted her new career woman wardrobe with TONS of gorgeous clothes. She is definitely gonna Wow them at St Jude next week!

T and I then headed over to a friend's house for BBQ and backyard fireworks. We have done this every year for the last 5 I think, and it is always a blast. T is still the ONLY child so he is very well spoiled and attended to by all of J's friends and they really do seem to love having him around. Having the only child and a 3 yr. old at that, at a grown up party, wouldn't be expected to be very enjoyable and well tolerated by others, but not the case. I am always appreciative and thankful for J's friends as they make a huge effort to include T and pay attention to him when he asks, despite their preference to probably chill-out, play beer pong, and do whatever it is that single people do these days at a party!

Hopeful in the next year or two there will be some new little ones running around as now finally there are some new wedding engagements and some talk of babies by some of the newlyweds so that is exciting to look forward to!

We enjoyed delicious food provided by Uncle Paul, and then watched the fireworks put on by Jason's friend Greg. It was a long day but a really enjoyable one at that.

I hope you all had a fabulous Fourth!

Waiting for the fireworks!



All he needs a grass skirt and we can put him in a Polynesian fire dance!


A little close!

Trying to write his name with fire!



Thank you Greg for putting on another awesome fireworks extraveganza by the pool this year!
I have no idea how this picture happened, the fireworks were across from us but somehow they appeared above our heads in this shot! Cool one though


Trying to capture T waving his flag proudly

Nick is always really sweet and great to play with T! Here he is helping T light his hundredth sparkler!
