Lots & Lots of Blogging so bear with me*****

Yuck I know! Carter got his finger smashed with a rock and it's not looking so hot. We are patiently waiting for the nail to fall off but it looks yucky!
We put grass in our backyard finally! It has been so much fun for all of us. We should have done it sooner, and would have if money grew on trees! Oh how I wish it did don't you?!
Family dinner outside is pretty common in our house these days. The weather at night has been beautiful. I love this time of year when you can sit out on the porch at night and just relax and visit or read a book.
Oh, and we celebrated Mike's 27th Birthday on Saturday. We had a parade and fireworks and everything. Pretty impressive hu!! He feels like he's old, but he's just getting started. The kids sang to him on the way to the parade and Amy made him carmels. He and I went for a blizzard that night and I ate the whole thing! Go figure! He also got lots of phone calls from his family. Thanks guys! Happy Birthday sweets! I love you!
Mike will also be starting an electrical apprenticeship next week. I'm so proud of him and the hard worker that he is that enabled him to get this new job. There's lots of work and classes involved and we are taking quite the pay cut at first but in the end it will all be worth it and he will be doing a job that he enjoys! Congratulations babe. We are all excited for ya!

So glad you posted all of it - super fun to look at! Hope your cute kids have a super fun summer, you're such a fun family and do so much for each other! Hope Gavin's tooth gets better, and Carter's fingernail falls off?!?! Hope your kids love their new dog (if you decide to get it) and we need to schedule you some pictures!!!

I love the grass! It looks so inviting! And Brooklyn did the exact same thing with her nail - smashed it in the door. It fell of yesterday. Yuck yuck yuck!
