Happy 4th of July!

Our holiday weekend started out great when Phillip got out of work early on Friday, which NEVER happens!  We went out for dinner at one of my favorite places Logan's, and enjoyed some family time before bed.  Saturday we ran errands and worked on some projects we had around the house.  Sunday after church we tried out a new hotdog restaurant in Longwood.  BITE Hot Dog Company http://www.bitehotdogs.com/ .  They make some great hotdogs!  Then Sunday evening we went to a "4th on the 3rd party" at a friends house.  We had a great time of stuffing our faces with great food and hanging out with friends.  Monday did not start out so great.  Jackson decided to get up before 6am and was SUPER cranky.  He had several temper trantrums before 9am:(  Not a great start to the day, but luckily the day got much better.  Our neighbors were having a little "block" party for the holiday so we spent most of the day hanging out with them.  Lots of water toys for the kids and LOTS of food.  It was SUPER hot but it was nice to just relax and get to know our neighbors a little better.  We ended the night with some fireworks (the legal kind) and then it was time for Jackson to go to bed.  Phillip and I were able to spend some time together relaxing and watching News Radio on netflix before bed.  It was a great weekend of family time.  We don't get too many of those these days because of Phillip's busy schedule.  Here are some pics from our 4th of July.

After a nice long weekend we have lots to do.  My parents get here on Saturday for an extended stay and I CAN'T WAIT!!  It will be so nice to have their help these last weeks before Autrey makes his appearance.  Phillip's semester is almost over and he'll have lots of studying to do. And at some point in the next few weeks, Autrey Joseph will be making his grand entrance.  We have a lot to look forward to!

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July!
