July 4th Weekend

We had a pretty good 4th of July weekend. On Friday, we went to a ward picnic at Shove Park. It was lots of fun (good job Robyn) with lots of tasty food, great games, and even better company. Ty loved playing on the playgrounds that they had there, too. Libby just enjoyed her day in the sun. Unfortunately, we had to leave a little early because I had to work the evening shift, but we still had lots of fun. Work wasn't that bad, though. We're on the 4th floor of St. Joseph's which is already on a hill and from an empty room we could see tons of fireworks including the ones at the Fairgrounds. Plus, it was too early for all the drunks out there getting broken bones to come into the hospital (that usually happens on the night shift!). Here's some pics of Friday's events:
Ty eating a lollipop while holding on to the bag in which he should be putting more candy. However, he was content with the lollipop. I wish I had that kind of attitude towards candy!

"Cheese!"

Ty saying "Hi" to Alex Weaver, who is saying "Hi" to Ty.
Ty telling Maria DeGaetano nonsensical ramblings, to which she is humoring him by listening.

Gavin Tolboe, Maria, and Ty.

Then, Saturday we had a fun time at my sister Karlyn's new house. She and her husband, Ti, just bought it and moved in Monday. It's great, it has a pool, a deck, and a little playset that Ty likes to refer to as "Ty's park." I think that he thinks that since he saw it first, he gets to call it. Well, they fired up the grill and we had some great eats and some time in the pool. If only other siblings were there to enjoy with us (ahem...Joey....Kirsten...).

Overall, it was a really fun weekend that included little meal preparation from me, but lots of food to eat!

Those are adorable pictures! On the one of your dad and Ty in the pool, I wish you would identify who is who -- they look too much alike!

I love the picture of Ty talking to the little girl. It looks like they should be much older! Sounds like a fun weekend- any weeekend for me where I don't have to cook much but still eat yummy food is GREAT! lol

sidenote -the comment above from david is really from me- my computer wouldn't let me log him out and log me in...but I'm sure david wishes he could have been there, too!

Also, Ty must have inherited that "older women" thing! Look out ladies!

I love the new blog! Thanks for the invite! And it looks like we missed out on another fun ward 4th party. Alas...

(On an unrelated note: we don't use our last name on our blog; could you change the link to say "Rachel and Jeremy"? Thank you so much!)

Much as I love these pictures and this blog post, I and the rest of the world are waiting for pictures of Ty on the water slides at Water Safari! Well, they would be waiting if they knew how much fun he was to watch.
