Beach, Nose, 4th of July!!!!

I am going to try to sum up the last few weeks in pictures. I went to the beach with the family in June and we had a wonderful week!!

Here's Uncle Patrick with Ethan, he spent most of the week with his hands in the air just as happy as he could be.

Here are the guys looking out and I think they were all wearing Star Wars shirts...

Our favorite beach visitor, Al, came for a couple of days and brought another amazing dinner!!

I also got my nose pierced last week with a couple of girl friends from work. I've always wanted to do it so I just went for it!! Here is the BEFORE pic:

DURING:

(I really am not crying. I was actually giggling knowing how silly I looked.)

AFTER:

This is my good friend Sherry and I had to include this picture because of the guy who I let put a needle through my nose. I could not stop staring at his "ears"!!! Do your ears hang low??

These pictures are from the 5th of July with the family at my parents house. The kids were fun as always. And Ethan is a walker!!!!

And here is the 4th of July out at the Branch Ranch. We grilled out, fished, kayaked, hung out, fellowshipped, and fireworked!!!

Nathan touching a fish for the first time...

And one more 4th of July celebration at Eric's house with lots of friends...

Ashleigh got to come!!

And my American flag cake that I made!! Very yummy and so fun looking!

Hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th!!!
