The 4th and other tidbits

Today's blog is chock full of pics, so to those of you who have a slow connection all I can say is "I'm sorry!" Starting with the most current pictures we have some photos of JJ's most recent baseball game. JJ really enjoys baseball and it is fun to see him learn what it means to play as a team and to try and better himself as a player. I took some photos of Hannah and Asher playing at the playground there at the baseball park. I can't believe how big Hannah is looking. All of a sudden she has really long arms and legs! She looks like a teenager all ready! We also have pictures from the 4th! Asher was sitting by me when I was editing these photos and he saw the picture of Mary and announced that he LOVES Mary! He loved playing with her at the picnic up at South Fork. You gotta love it when Charlie shows off his goofy side! He doesn't show this side much but when he does it is always hilarious! Me, Mary Ellen and Carolyn hung out under the umbrellas trying to stave off the heat. It actually felt cool when we first arrived at the park but quickly got blistering hot. In one of the pictures Asher is looking mischievious. No doubt it was taken right after he dumped an entire cup of root beer in my mom's lap (and she was wearing white pants!!!). Charlie brought a new game called Ladder Ball. We got to see who could through the balls most accurately. Don't know who won but they all had a good time! Big congrats go out to Michelle and Brad! You guys make such a cute couple! There are also so pics from a family home evening trip to the Children's Garden at Thanksgiving Point. Asher can be such a love bug when he wants to be. The super closeup pic of Lance and I is JJ's attempt to get a photo of us. Didn't quite work out! There are some more photos from the fireworks at Thanksgiving Point on the 4th. Sorry that the picture are all out of chronological order.
The last pictures are from a trip Asher and I took to the Thanksgiving Point Farm on day when JJ and Hannah were off doing something else. He had great fun seeing the sites at his own pace! He is such a goof ball sometimes!
