Happy Birthday to Adam!

I was totally going to type something super sappy to try to embarrass you but I decided against it for several reasons:
  • you don't embarrass easily
  • I would probably be the one to get embarrassed
  • you would call and tell me I'm a nerd
  • I wouldn't have been able to do a bullet post
  • my blog is public and I wouldn't want it to end up on the front page of Xanga
  • "sappy" really just isn't my thing
  • "sappy" really just isn't YOUR thing
  • sap is strictly for maple syrup
So hopefully you aren't disappointed! Enjoy Texas..and eat some good, authentic Mexican food for your birthday ole!

PS: You already know that the monkey and I have a surprise for you when you get home but Eli insisted on giving you a happy birthday message now:

Happy Birthday to my sister!

FELIZ CUMPLEANOS A MI HERMANA,

NICOLE!


Estas son las mañanitas, que cantaba el Rey David.

Hoy por ser día de tu santo, te las cantamos a ti.

Despierta mi bien despiertam mira que ya amaneció.

Ya los pajaritos cantan. La luna ya se metió

Que linda está la mañana en que vengo a saludarte.

Venimos todos con gusto y placer a felicitarte.

Ya viene amaneciendo. Ya la luz del día nos dio.

Levántate de mañana. Mira que ya amaneció.



Tienes una buena dia, chica!
Tu eres muy loco!
Y tu eres muy bonita!


A-E-I-O-U
El burro sabe mas que tu!

Que te pasa, calabasa?
Nada, nada, limonada!

Tu estas en amorado con Senor Shumway!

Le crocodile a mangé le bébé!

Adios!

me for clarification! Everything above is in jest, or at least FUN!

July 4th

So I found out at 9:30am yesterday that Bay View has a parade on the 4th...and it goes right through the intersection three houses away from us! We could watch it from our front step...pretty cool. The Brewers Racing Sausages were in it, but I didn't have the camera on me until they were racing down the street...

Street sweeper...end of parade!
There were WAY more pictures but only some of them uploaded correctly.
On the way home, the monkey was very tired...the parade was 2 hours long, after all!

He fell asleep holding a stick he found at the parade!

After all that, we decided to grill out:

and Eli and Daddy read books:

Adam decided to "help" me change Elijah's poopy diaper...he gave him the pants sag:

After dinner, Elijah needed a bath to get the ketchup, BBQ sauce and other food out of his hair:


Then we decided to just hang out outside with the monkey until he had to go to bed:

I wonder what they were looking at?

Then the neighbor girl brought out sidewalk chalk:

and even I got in on THAT fun!

I've got MAD art skills, hey? (That is a joke!)
Elijah really ended up with more chalk on himself than anything:

So anyway, Elijah ended up falling asleep pretty early so we knew we'd have to stay around the house to watch the fireworks...ended up that we had the best seat in the house!
