July 4th

Happy 4th!!

We had such a good time tonight with friends. In fact, it was one of the best nights I have had in a while. I laughed until I couldn't breath and almost wet my pants. We went downtown with the Southard's and Josh. We got there at 6pm to participate in the "free family entertainment"...that was a joke. We ended up making our own free entertainment. It started raining on us and ended up POURING, we were so wet. The boys packed up and were ready to go but us girls stood our ground and told them we wanted to say. We stood/played/laughed/danced in the rain for an hour or so. We ended up staying until the fireworks went off at 9:30 and it was well worth it. I am the first to admit I have never been impressed with Springfield fireworks. but they really did put on a good show this year. The best part of the night was Alyssa getting pooed on by a bird. As soon as the fireworks started going off thousands, and I really do mean thousands, of birds started flying right at us. People were ducking and screaming...it was fantastic. Alyssa and Josh got the brunt of the birds, Josh's shirt got pooped on and Alyssa got in the face and mouth. I seriously was laughing so hard I couldn't breath. Later she told me she couldn't understand why I was just laughing and not helping her....poor Alysaa.

A good night was had a by all. We all ready have our plans for next year in the works...this time they include umbrellas!

Our group minus Josh....where were you during this picture Josh???

This is an unedited picture of what it looked like at 7:30...it was slightly crazy!

July 2nd

For some reason my computer won't download my pics. It keeps telling me they are corrupted?? Frustrating! But at least I don't have any super important pictures. Hopefully I can figure it out tomorrow.

I went with some friends to see Eclipse tonight...I thought it was really good. I tend to forget what has already happened, I should have watched the first two again. It was a fun start to a packed weekend!

July 1st

Posting a picture late at night or first thing in the morning is really the same...isn't it? I had so many things to take a picture of today. We had family hair cuts today, I cheated on my friend Jenni (don't worry all you Jenni fans, I told her a while back I was going to have to). It was very hard to do and I hope she still loves me, my check book now loves me though. I saw a man on a crotch rocket that was so small he carried it around. It was the craziest thing ever. It seriously was the size of a toddlers toy. I tried really hard to get a picture of if but he started coming out of the gas station, and I didn't want to die.

We went to South Side's softball game last night and had a really good time. Lots of our friends are on the team and it was fun cheering them on, although I think we might get kicked out sooner or later. Several pictures for tonight...

For those of you who know Heather you need to ask her about her home run!

Justin asked me to go get him a drink which I gladly did because I was thirsty. Being a fan is hard work! Too bad for me my husband knocked our full cup over spilled all my beloved Diet Mountain Dew on the ground. Sigh.

Me, being me, was going to slid down on the bleachers and leave the mess. Jon, being Jon, jumped up and used a stick to cover the mess with dirt. Seriously...everyone needs a Jon in their lives, and not just to clean up their messes!
