4th of July

For the last handful of years we've had a standing "4th of July" date with the Shannon's.  This year we went up to their house for the day.  We hung out, watched the kids played, BBQ-ed, and sweated a whole bunch.  It was HOT.  So hot we (the adults) could only handle being outside for moments at a time!  I brought my special "4th of July" poke hole cake!  Yum!

Cousins

Anna, Jake and Ella have moved back to Rochester.  The most exciting part about this as that our kids will get to grow up together.  We went over to their new house to celebrate Ella's first birthday and then we put the kids in their "4th of July" outfits bought by Grandma!  

Birthday Girl!!!

This was the best we got of the three of them!  We were exhausted after trying for the perfect shot!
