We celebrated this holiday well beyond the day of the 4th. Cole and I went non-stop Monday through Sunday. Monday Sarah came in town, Tuesday we had all of my Dad's family at the Brophy Ranch, Wednesday we headed to Gram's for a day on the lake, Thursday I went to the Cardinal's game with friends while Cole stayed with my parents, Friday through Sunday we were at the farm, then Sunday night I had an open house for more friends. Crazy schedule but really fun! Drew also enjoyed a nice 4th by spending time at the main post instead of his remote site. The food and gym are much better so he took full advantage of it. It was a nice break but he was also happy to head back and get to work. I am waiting to get the really good pics from a few of the cousins but here are plenty.
Matthew and Cole engaged in conversation.
As Matt and Nick said, Cole is such a dude.
Brophy girls, Cole and a brewing baby. Maggie is 20 weeks! :)
It was so fun to meet Alex who is only a few weeks younger than Cole. So stinking cute!
Merello girls, Barb and Nancy at the creek.
Cole loving his wagon.
Gigi and Cole playing at Gram's. We had plenty of lake time but Cole loves his pool.
Happy Birthday to me!
It was hot as hell but really fun! And the Cards won.
First fish on my new fly rod! Drew sent me a present which arrived a couple of weeks early but he made me wait until my birthday. I opened it on Skype with him when I woke up. Really cute!
Uncle Petey and Cole relaxing at the farm.
This has been and continues to be the summer of the inflatable pool. He can't get enough!
Wagon ride in his new shirt (it has a high chair which says training for a tree stand) while I was at the open house.
Getting better at keeping his hat on too.
Love being so close to family and friends but you know what I have to say...can't wait until Drew is home and our little family is complete!!
