Bye bye miss American pie ...

The fourth of July was spent in good company and what started off dreary turned out beautiful.

This beautiful pie was created, decorated and consumed by everyone after we gobbled up bratwurst, bbq drumsticks, broccoli salad and watermelon.


Wade busy cracking jokes, drinking beer and looking handsome ... I love that man!


This is my favorite shot of Jade eating watemelon with the "bird-girl".


We ended the evening with a Bocci ball game. Normally this is not a game where you get much exercise (easy to hold a beer and play!), but with five small children scattered across the lawn "helping" we all did our fair share of running, chasing, laughing and playing.
