4th of July

Kalli has been preparing a new post of the last few weeks, but she is really busy with photography lately, so I don't know if she'll get it posted for a while. So in the mean-time, so we at least get something new up, I'll post a few pictures from the 4th of July weekend. My family did some fun things that weekend, like camp out in tents on my parents lawn, play water games, fireworks, etc.

Kalli took some awesome night shots!


Eric put himself in a ball of fire!


That's a beauty!


Jeni planned some water games for Saturday. This was a fun relay race.


The water hose limbo went from limbo...


To just getting wet...


To jumping over the water. That's when the "big boys" wanted to get involved.


Jeremy put up a good fight jumping off one foot because he got about 12 stitches in his foot a week earlier.


But I think Justin was the winner. He probably could've jumped over that swing set in the background if he wanted to!


Running through the sprinkler provides endless fun!



And of course, the games ended with a water fight. I found myself being ganged-up on. All the little kids against me. I'm pretty sure I won!

Good job Joel for helping Kalli out and posting some pics! I sure enjoy seeing pictures of my kids and all the family - that I didn't take :). Seeing these pictures made me happy today. It was just what I needed. (We are so blessed!) LOVE summer. LOVE 4th of July. LOVE water. LOVE family. LOVE fun. Thanks!

Those were sweet pictures! Looks like you guys had a blast! I wish we did stuff like that more often. Look at your skills, Joel! Who ever said, 'White men can't jump' ? :)
