Finished!

Aarons first shot of the night.

In this one Aaron burns his hair off his face. He wasn't hurt but it was so funny.

Justin's shot! They were shooting shirts here.

Saturday we had a pretty chill afternoon hanging around the house.

The boys had seen something on TV Friday night that showed potato guns so they were so excited to make them Saturday. We left earlier than normal for their house so they had plenty of light and time. The kids played in the backyard in the pool, on the swing set, and in the sandbox. They had a great time. The boys cracked us up acting like little kids making the guns. Aaron had some issues with the ignitor and nearly melted his face off. We (maybe just me) laughed hysterically when he grabbed the ignitor and shocked himself. Justin had no problems with his but for "fuel" they used hairspray and aerosol deodorant. They found that the hairspray worked much better. They shot shirts out of the guns until the glue was totally set and then they used potatoes. It was much louder than the shirts so they only shot the potatoes a few times because it was late and didn't want the police called on them. We *may* have seen a police cruiser as we hurried back inside. Ha! I had purchased some fresh green beans and potatoes at the farmers market on Wednesday. Justin and I (with some very helpful girls) snapped the green beans earlier in the day and put them in the crockpot all day to cook. The boys also grilled some pork chops (and forgot to move the grill out from under the awning- so it melted a bit of the roof-Woops!!) It was delicious!! What a fun evening!

Sword fighting, bike riding good time!

Paili, Jakob, Linde, Jack

Jakob decided to smile in this one but, of course, Pai had to not look.

Friday was my 1/2 day at work and I was so looking forward to spending the afternoon with my girls. But, Linde texted and asked if she could take Pai with her and the boys to see Brave. I couldn't say no to that. A special outing with her boys and Aunt! What fun! I took Sky and went on home. The Garmans came over and brought over an early birthday present...

Yay!!! I love it! It's perfect!! I rode up and down my road just praying that I wouldn't crash in front of my neighbors that were hanging out. Thanks Aaron, Erin, Colby, and Maddy! I love you guys!

Colby and Sky were sword fighting. So funny.

Linde dropped Paili off at my Moms with the boys so Erin, Maddy, and I went to go pick up Pai. She had gone on a walk with my Dad and my nephews so we had a little time to play with Gabby.

Pretty girl!

Maddy and Gabby

I love these two. Colby and Madison.

Justin cooked a wonderful Mexican themed dinner. It was so good! I provided a delicious treat of things I found in our freezer. Good times! We had a great evening (as always) with the Garmans. So thankful for friendships that stand the tests of life. Funny story from the evening...My littlest darling decided while the adults were sitting around the table talking and watching her play on her horse to reach into her diaper and pull out a little baby boomer and bring it to me. Gag! Needless to say, she got a full on bath right then.
