We had a very fun filled weekend celebrating the Fourth of July holiday. We would like to thank Chad and Alex for their service. I cannot imagine how hard it is to be away from family for so long. Hopefully they will be able to join us next year! Saturday we had a pool date with the Martin family. We headed over there around noon for lunch and water fun. We had some yummy chicken and hot dogs compliments of Joseph. After filling our bellies it was off to the pool!

Lucas had a good time getting in and out, in and out, in and out. That will wear you out quick.

How many people can you fit into a pool?

After swimming for awhile it was time to eat again! Katie's brother Cody treated us all with some pizza. Then we had more brownies. We hung out for a little while longer then it was time to get Lucas home to bed b/c we had another full day planned on Sunday. We went to church Sunday morning and enjoyed a lunch fellowship with the College kids. We had BBQ and all the fixins! Lucas ate his whole plate of food just so he could have a cupcake. He spotted them as soon as he got into the room. After lunch it was nap time. We headed over to my parent's house for more food and water fun. Mom bought a big blow up water slide and Lucas enjoyed playing on it....I think. He would smile on the way down but then he looked panicked at the bottom. But he would do it several times in a row. Dad grilled some delicious ribs...my favorite! Lucas got a bath and we headed home. To celebrate the Fourth with Michael's family we headed to his sister's house Monday. It was waaaaaayyyy hot outside so I wasn't able to eat a whole lot but there was so much food! The Stephens family sure knows how to cook. Lucas enjoyed playing with his cousins Maggie and Alisha. They live in Clanton so we don't get to see them that often.

Just swimmin'!

A summer storm blew in so the swimming was cut short. We all headed back to the house for some homemade ice cream and brownies. It was getting late by this time so we packed up and headed home. It was a fun but tiring weekend and I didn't get called into work one time!
