4th of July (Yes, I know it's the 7th)

I'm behind. In my defense of taking so long to post recently, I've been on a few trips and had some crazy things happen recently (which I will blog about). Does it count that I set my sister up with a blog the other day?? I should get brownie points for that one. Oh - and you should check her blog and leave sweet comments to encourage her to keep blogging :)

I have three things to talk about: 4th of July, my trip to Portland, and the latest dog madness that had me in constant tears yesterday.
This post will focus on the first cause I don't have much time and it will be told in pictures (I love pictures).
For the holiday, Jason's brother and his wife came into town with their little dog, Wally. John Parker - a friend of ours - also joined us for the celebration (he also brought his dog). Everyone crashed at our house which meant 5 adults, 5 dogs, and 2 kids - super fun. We went to a party the Stadels invited us to that was heaven to Lincoln (and super fun for all of us): it included TONS of our door play things, sweets galore, and a circus of kids and fireworks. We wore him out! And happy to report, he LOVED the fireworks! He pointed and made an "AUHHHH!" sound of amazement everytime one blasted. Here are some pictures!


Daddy bought Lincoln some fireworks and let him thrown them.
