HAPPY 4th!

We once again spent our 4th of July in style: Pool, sun, bags, food...all the best things summer has to offer :) For this year's 4th post I decided to change it up and bit and put Noah at the keyboard...so I take no credit for the clever (or not so) comments from this point on*... Enjoy!

Biggest. Bathtub. Ever.

Total attention hog.

Perfect picture...only took 12 tries.  Kind of a reoccurring theme with that kid/hat combo.

 Stud.

Wapsie Water makes an appearance.

 A rare peaceful moment in the pool.

 I'm told this display ended the Billups sister's bid for a new cooking show once and for all.

Mmmm onions!

Gabe trying to run over Jenna. He only goes in reverse. We're working on it.

 I'm a little teapot...

Dear God, what is on your towel Nathan?

 Pasty.

Smelly dog.  And Nellie.

There are so many pictures on here, Em!

Someone take away this woman's camera.

 What can go wrong?

Championship match, Blacks vs Billups.

 Bag toss champions.  Rigged.

Pool baseball.

Growing that mustache is exhausting work!

 

 Future sister in laws.

 Take #1

Take #2

Let it be known, I did the captions in return for a sandwich. Worth it? Not sure...

HAPPY 4th!

Lately

We have been pretty busy lately. A birthday, visiting Nana and Papas, and camping filled our weekend!

Last Thursday was Noah's 28th birthday! 28. 28? Wow, when did that happen?!? 

Happy Birthday Daddy!! We had a pretty low key celebration...bacon for breakfast, a trip to Ames for lunch at Noah's favorite, Pizza Pit, some oreos, all those good things :)

Then Gabe and I headed to Nana and Papas for the weekend. 

And out to Iowa Lake to meet up with the Cronbaugh crew! Uncle Scott had it all set up for the swarm of bebes!!

 

It was fun to see all these babies together! They are all getting so big! Crazzzy :)
