Lots of Rocks!

To sum up my day -- WOW!!

I had a productive day scrapbooking in St. Cloud with three of my friends. I worked on my Disney photos from two summers ago. But I was in for a great surprise... I came home to a clean house! My hubby cleaned the house!! Mike, YOU ROCK!!

What is even more, Mike took Tate to a local beach and he says that he is swimming. I guess that there was a little girl there that was about two years older then Tate and she had taken three years of swim lesson and Tate was doing better than her! What a complete turn around from years before. Tate hated the water and if you would try and take him in, he would stand on your head if he could. Tate I am so proud of you! Tate, YOU ROCK!!

And for Will, he told me that he loves me without being all sweaty and stinky for dryland and weight lifting. Normally I only get the "I Love You" when he is all sweaty and stinky!! Will, YOU ROCK!!

Rock on people!

Fourth of July

We did do something for the Fourth but I was unable to post earlier because Tate has kidnapped the computer the last couple days. He discovered an online game and wants to play is constantly. Well, anyway on to the main part of the post...

The weather for the Fourth was perfect, warm enough for shorts but not so hot that you were sweating. So we decided to drive to Excelsior to watch the MN Orchestra play with fireworks on the lake following the music. We picked up Subway, found a great place to sit and just sat and relax. The orchestra was great, of course both Will and Tate enjoyed the piece that was the Superman theme. The fireworks were awesome and it was fun to play with my camera to try and get some great photos. At one point Will asked me if I was going to stop taking photos and just watch the fireworks. I had to kindly explain that as he enjoys watching the fireworks, I enjoy taking photos of them.
