Brian and I have been married 10 years and I am still crazy about him. Wow!

We heard "Happy Together" followed by "You're Smiling Face," which is our wedding song in the car this morning. How cool is that?

We saw WALL-E Saturday. Brian and the kids loved it. All the kids did really well during the movie. It was a nice afternoon. On our way out the kids played on the Reactrix screen. They moved it to a more out of the way location but the boys had no trouble finding it.

Our subdivision has a clubhouse and a pool. It is a nice pool but the kids aren't tall enough to reach the botton of the pool even at the shallow end so we joined the pool at their camp/school. There are three pools there and the kids can reach the bottom in two of them. It also has a snack bar and two playgrounds. It closes a little earlier than the clubhouse pool.

Friday night we went to the clubhouse pool after Daddy finished work. We got there around 7pm and stayed until 8pm. I swam with the boys while Daddy and Liv watched. Here the boys are with their new hooded towels Grandma Jackie gave them.

Tor is taking a music class at the local Scholastic Store. It is really great. One guy plays the acoustic guitar and the other guy plays the electric bass. Before we left the store, Tor had to ride on Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Last Wednesday Jack dressed as a pirate for camp. He is wearing the pirate bandanna he colored and the pirate bracelet he made.

The first photo was the day after we met Andy Pettitte and he insisted on wearing his Yankee Jersey. Andy pitched a great game that night.

I thought it was pretty cool that in the background of this pic with Tor is a picture of one of the first times Bestemor met Jack. The same exact lamp is in each picture too. Here is the pic that is in that frame. Jack is 5 months old.

Liv sure has changed since the last time Tante Nanny saw her.

Liv loves her Aunt Nanette too!

We went up to the Cabin on the Fourth of July. Here Bestemor is meeting Liv for the fist time.

Later on we sang Bestemor a happy birthday and cut the cake the kids made.

This year we made our Fourth of July cake again. I did better than I did last year! I also took a tip from Maggie and just iced and decorated it in the pan I cooked it in. That made it a whole lot easier. I didn't make a parafait with the leftover fruit like I did last year, I forgot. Next year!

Several months ago I ordered a Bugville Butterfly kit to raise our own butterflies. The kit came and just like with the ant farm, we had to send off for the insects, in this case the caterpillars. I put it on my list to do after Liv came and was reminded when Linda and Sam had us over to release their butterflies. I finally sent the money to Insect Lore and we got our caterpillars about three weeks later. They started off really small but each day they grew noticeably bigger until they were the biggest caterpillars I have ever seen. Then they turned themselves into chrysalis' and we put them into our butterfly tent. About a week later they came out and we watched them dry their wings and then start flying. We kept them for an additional 2 days just to make sure they were ready (as per instructions) and then we released them.
