Went to Michigan again for July 4th...always one of our favorite trips. It's a good time of relaxing by the lake and hanging out with family. We had some "firsts" this trip. For starters, we did the day drive up there instead of overnight. It turned out alright and definitely better than it could have been. Evey timed her needed stops pretty well and the drive wasn't too bad. It did kind of screw up everyone's schedule though, so I'm not sure it's the better option. We did the overnight drive on the way back and the kids did much better with just sleeping, but the driver takes most of the abuse. Another first is we brought the new smoker. It was a big hit and James ended up smoking 30 pounds of pork for Saturday night and Sunday afternoon's meals. All in all, it was a good trip and continues to be one of our favorite holiday weekends.
Never bad to see this each morning
Mascot for the weekend
Prime Hangout Spot #1
Prime Hangout Spot #2
And if you are Spencer, here's another good Hangout spot
Dont get that dress wet
You can always find a competitive croquet game going
Boat rides are always fun and everyone is invited, even dogs.
Getting ready for fireworks
SPARKLERS!!
30 pounds of pork goodness!!
Do not slow down the food line...it will be at your peril!!
One of these things is different, one of these things is not like the other
Something else you do at your peril...partake
in the drinking games at night
We had a new event this year, the softball game.
It was pretty fun and Evey was ready to play.

This wouldn't be so funny if it wasn't so true. Had to share.

This week was Evey's first week in her new class room. She moved up a month early. This was also the first week of summer adventures. This week's theme was gross and goo. They made play-dough, jello and some other goo stuff. I think she likes her new class but I also thinks she misses her friends or maybe she misses being the high man on the
to tum pole. Now she is the youngest again but I already notice her changing being around the older kids.

Thursday I took off a little earlier so we could go see Laney's first
recital. Evey really really enjoyed watching all the girls perform. Their little costumes were so so cute. It was a fun afternoon just Mommy and Evey.




Didn't do much this weekend but hang out as a family. Our little kiddie pool from Evey's 1st birthday finally got a hole in it so we bought this pool with slide and waterfall. Daddy tried it out as well. And of course some homemade, gatorade popcicles.

Father's Day was a little tough on us. Moses had not been eating for a couple days and we took him to the vet Saturday night. He was really dehydrated and they started him on fluids. While they had him overnight they ran several tests. None of the tests pointed to anything positive. It was most likely a liver problem caused either by disease or cancer. Unfortunately for Moses, the future didn't look good and we decided life had run its course for our little buddy.
Moses was a great dog and he served his role well for the Prices. He joined the family very early in our marriage and just rolled with the punches as we moved several times and added 2 more members to the family. He was always very loving and preferred relaxing on the couch snuggled up to somebody to normal dog endeavors. It's funny how you start to miss some of the things that used to bug you before, but I'm not used to the silence yet after the door bell rings or someone knocks on the front door.
Thanks for being such a great family member Mo. We surely enjoyed the time we had with you. The next family dog sure has some big shoes to fill. We love you and will miss you.
Comfy in my new bed

Sunday night we had our neighborhood family and some friends over for dinner to celebrate Austin. James was practicing with his new smoker. Ribs and pork butt turned out wonderful. Moses enjoyed some bones. It was hot and humid but everyone seemed to have a really good time.
Austin enjoyed all the attention







Evey and Laney had a blast in this pool...
we could not get them out


It was such a wonderful day...despite me locking the keys in the car at 7-11, while it was running and Austin inside. Oh yea, first time in my whole life. Austin had a great nap, while James had to run up to the dealership to get another key made. I think that Austin knew it was his special day cause I had to take him in the car to get him to nap. It was a wonderful day. Thank you to all for being with us.

Austin is doing great. Great reports from the doctor. He is very healthy and happy happy. He went on his first plane ride to Texas and did excellent. He started eating cereal at night and will start veggies soon. He is almost sitting up on his own. He's very grabby grabby and grabs at everything, just so curious to see what everything is and how it works. He's very social. He will let you know when he wants to help in the kitchen or be a part of the conversation. He is very interested in what the rest of us are eating but he loves his cereal. And of course, Evey just hangs the moon. He is just the sweetest boy ever. His smile is so
contagious and just melts me.

Saturday Evey was invited to a Birthday Tea Party. It was super cute. We had a really nice time. All the girls played well together.
