good times

A month has flown by with flying colors! We returned from north Carolina so exhausted! That is a long trip with three kids and not to mention my ADD. Grandpa is doing fine. He had surgery and is still recovering. It was a pleasant trip this time around. Normally its so hectic because we are constantly moving. Going from one side of town to the other so see everyone. This time I got to just hang out with my mom and do not much of anything. We spent some time at the beach. got some great pictures. The beach is the best place on the earth. The day we went there weren't many people there and it was kinda cloudy so it was great to just let the kids roam up and down the coast running from crashing waves. It was the first time it weeks that they could actually go without me saying "dont touch that" or "dont go too far". We were able to catch genuine smiles and good memories.

Since we've been home nothing new has gone on. We had a great 4th of july. Started off a little rocky because jason "forgot" to tell me he invited company. Needless to say i was scrambling around the kitchen trying to figure out what to feed these people. It turned out quite nice in the end. We cooked the traditional burgers and dogs and had a flag pound cake, and did some fireworks to end the night.
