Fourth of July Weekend

We had a great fourth weekend. Since Tyson and I both work jobs that don't close on weekends or holidays, we often spend holidays without each other. Surprisingly, Tyson and I got to spend some quality time together this weekend. We had fun boating and hanging out at Tyson's parent's cabin. Mia got to experience her first firework show, produced by Tyson. He wanted to buy some fireworks for her. The expression on her face was priceless!


Not quite sure how she's going to react....

Mia on the edge of her seat for the fireworks!

I had to post these "lettuce" pictures for my mom. She loved this story! Mia saw this plate of lettuce at the dinner table and reached out with lightening speed to get it. She had the grip of death on the lettuce and would not let us take it away from her.
Going in for the kill
Hmmm...looks good

So yummy!

Oh great, a mini Helen! You've already got her hooked on salads? She'll be sneaking over to Aunt Emily's for bacon and steaks!

I'm so sad that we missed you all this weekend. We are all just too busy this time of year I guess. I agree with Em - she might not look too much like you but looks like she's picking up your eating habits!!

Helen,
So random! So my highschool reunion was the night of Ragnar and Suzanne (my best friend in highschool) was telling me about it and that she was on your team, small world!!! She thought it was hilarious that you were pumping in the back of the van :)
Mia is darling, I'm so happy for you. I've got a little girl on the way the first week December, crazy hu? 23 months apart... I'll let you know how it goes, I'm nervous!!
