To Infinity and Beyond

Tonight Josh and Katelyn went to their first theater movie. We count it as a success - we made it through the entire film! As predicted, Katelyn was even more excited than Josh, but at the end of the movie, Josh said, "I want to watch it again!"

Mommy, Josh, Katelyn, and Daddy getting ready to see Toy Story 3!

Note Josh and Katelyn sporting their Toy Story t-shirts :)

Kate, Stacey and Jed joined us for the movie. (More people eventually entered the theater too!)

The kids stayed in their seats almost half of the movie and then switched between Mommy and Daddy the rest of the time. Both Josh and Katelyn enjoyed the popcorn - but of course Katelyn kept asking for more! :)

Sprinkler Fun

We battled the heat with the sprinkler today at Grandma and Pop-Pop's house.

Josh and Katelyn thought it was really fun to drink the sprinkler water!

Mmmm...refreshing!

It was a fun day!

4th of July Weekend

We traveled to Deep Creek for the weekend. On the way up on Saturday, we stopped at Sideling Hill to climb the hill and see the view. We've driven by it tons of times and never stopped. We can now officially check it off the list of things to do - and never have to go again. It was pretty anti-climatic! :)

The festivities officially started on Saturday evening at Granddad and Grandma's house for dinner and fireworks. Here are Grant, Jackson, Katelyn and Josh with Granddad and Grandma.

Our best family photo - seriously!

Happy Birthday Granddad!

The crowd watching the fireworks. Where is Josh, you ask? Inside, watching the fireworks with Mommy from the safety of the family room.

Happy Independence Day!

Our Week

We had a relaxing week at home and with friends...

Katelyn is ready for work!

We had a great time at the pool with Betty and Bailey on Monday

Pop-Pop Kitty came to visit us on Wednesday. He met us on the front porch in the morning - followed us on our walk - watched us in the basement through the back door - and then visited us on the deck in the evening! Josh and Katelyn thought he was so much fun! Katelyn did eventually drive him away though with her incredibly loud talking!

Bailey spent the day with us on Wednesday and we spent a lot of time outside.

This contributed to it taking us about an hour to walk to the end of our block and back...

...and so did this. There was nothing quick about this outing!

Josh kept asking Bailey to go for a drive

Bailey gave Katelyn a ride down the hill...it's not a trip that will be repeated for a few months!

On Thursday, Josh and Katelyn played at Camp Sniders!

They had their first experience with water balloons - so much fun!

You can see the joy on their faces!

Josh and Katelyn were so excited to see Miles tonight.

As usual, Katelyn smothered Miles with kisses, but he didn't mind too much!
