3-D Superbowl

For the Superbowl, we invited some neighbors down and grilled hamburgers and chicken wings.  We watched the big game, and put on our 3-D glasses to watch the commercials.  It was lots of fun hanging out with our neighbors and getting to know our new friends.  Although the game didn’t end the way we were hoping, it turned out to be a good one to watch.  Here are a couple of pictures of us sporting the cool specs.

Summer Cookout

One of the many things we love to do is cook out with friends. Last weekend, Austin and Alesha invited us and another family over for hamburgers and hot dogs. We took the boys’ blow-up moonbounce and enjoyed an evening outdoors visiting, eating, and playing. Here are some cute pictures of everyone.
Jonathan and Aaron hanging out, playing with their new Transformers.
Bailey likes to show out and act silly on the moonbounce!
Caleb, Jonathan, and Kirsten bouncing and wrestling.
Some grown-ups like to visit; others choose to play with Transformers instead!
Bailey and the boys! They treat her like a little sister.
