Tim, Kristen, Megan, Emily, Anna, and Timothy: 4th of July

I was so excited about 4th of July this year! Mostly b/c Tim had the whole day off and since he has been working days this year, he didn't have to sleep half the day away. (The last couple of years, he has had to sleep during the day and then go into work b/f the fireworks are over since he was working 3rd shift.) And he took the day off from studying for church too, so we really got to enjoy the 4th as a family! The night before I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish/do on the 4th. Somethings were fun things for our family and a couple of honey-to-do's! The first thing we did was we got the baby room set up by bringing up the toddler bed which would be Anna's bed and then the crib would be freed up for the baby. WE had to take down a bookshelf to the basement to make things fit in the room, but we were able to get that checked off the list in the morning. I was so thankful b/c I had been wanting to get started on getting things ready in the baby room. We went to buy a few firewokrs for later that evening. Then we went swimming at my mom's house which the girls really enjoyed! We went home for naps, and then I have pictures of the rest of our day:)

Papa treated the girls to slushes from Sonic during happy hour so after naps, we enjoyed those!

What a fun treat!

We took a trip to Lowes to buy a swing as Anna was not wanting to use a baby swing any longer, so now we have 3 big girls swings! They love it!

Tim grilled chicken and steak and made potato salad for supper that night. Tim wanted to use his parents' recipe for potato salad, and it turned out great. I love it when Tim cooks! And watermelon was a treat as well with the meal!
