4th of July

As usual, we had the 4th of July celebration at our house. Here's a few snapshots from that day, plus a few from my birthday celebration--58 years old!

I was surprised with my birthday gifts and cake. I hadn't
really thought about it but the kids surprised me.


Olivia and Alyssa in the act!


Thanks for the gifts, some nice bowls, plates, candles,
and mats to use in the summertime.


I still have enough hot air! Not that anyone is surprised.


My gorgeous cake. Thanks to Tim and Steph for
getting it all the way from KC.


I've complained about trying to get photos of the
two girls. Here's what it's like when you get 11 kids
together. Total chaos!


It's not getting any better!


Meltdown, but at least Logan is getting everyone's
attention so they're not crying, at least not at this
very moment.


Happier moment, everyone is eating.


I thought it was so funny how Janet's twins
were entertaining our twins.

Janet and Alaina, what a ham!


Night fireworks, nothing better than sparklers.

One of my favorite photos--Mike and Tim.
