Fourth of July and Jordan's Birthday

This week was very busy for us both at work and at home. Tuesday evening we spent some time in the garden weeding but the rest of the week we were running errands and wrapping presents and figuring out what the weekend would hold. Friday came around and we had fun at the Fourth of July parade downtown.


Mom and Jeremiah came into town in the evening and we met them out in Nampa, then headed over to our friend's, James and Joanne for a BBQ and fireworks. We had a great time well into the night there.


Saturday Jordan went to a movie with Pappy, (Kyme's Dad, Paul) and Mom and Jeremiah went visiting while I baked a birthday cake and got everything else lined up for the party the following day. In the evening we had a mellow dinner and enjoyed the cooler weather.
Sunday was Jordan's 13th birthday party. It was a big surprise party in the park and many of her friends made it. We found a beautiful shady spot near the river with enough tables and grass. The party was great fun and included a water balloon fight as well!

Now it's evening and after cooling off and saying goodbye to Mom and Jeremiah as they start homeward, we will be putting together a rat cage here in a few minutes! We do hope that everyone had a great Fourth of July weekend. We love and miss you all!
