Bridal Veil Falls with the Robertsons

I like that when Margaret comes because she gets me out of the house.

Robertson 4th of July Family reunion

Because I had the chance to be so close to my mom's family, I very much encourage any chance to build relationships with our family.  This one is Jer's favorite time of the year I think... he LOVES the treats, visiting, and the Pinewood Derby.

 

Evelyn and cousin Samuel

Being in the pool is awesome when you're big pregnant... I almost feel normal again.  The kids are getting more and more adventurous in the pool.  Ada can now swim without floaties, Sam can swim without any help from parents, and Evelyn has started swimming and jumping about 5-10 feet away from me. 

Love these kids.

Dad got this awesome picture.

Marg and kids... That was fun to chat with Marg, Mary, Becca and Diane

Ada's festive hairdo

Driveway of Fire

Evelyn was so excited for sparklers!

Ada, who's never had a problem with fireworks was terrified of them this year... She very reluctantly did one sparkler, sat 10 feet behind me while watching the fireworks and even left to go inside for a while during all the fireworks.  Luckily she came back out in time to see the grand finale.  She was wowed by that.

Sam loved it so much that he giggled if a firework came too close to  him and asked Dad if he could help throw some flowers.

Sam's car did really well this year... it was in the top few.

Evelyn was in the top three... I think she got 2nd place.  She was so excited to see her car winning.

Jer LOVES to make his cars

Ada was very disappointed with her car, but honestly it wasn't bad.  It won first in the group of the cars that lost the first heat.

When Ada got over her loss, this is what she decided to do instead... Helped Evelyn watch her car. 

The rest of the pictures

This is my amazing Dad... I love his laugh and love his sense of humor.

My cute parents.

This was so cute.... She was hugging my dad, Janelle went to take a picture and she pulled my mom over to take a picture too.

My brother and his son...good buddies

This little girl was so busy... she was washing each of the rocks and putting them back in the river.

My awesome family!  Including our soon to come baby boy.
