one last holiday celebration before THE move ... (-8b

we had an awesome time with Terri and the kids on the 4th ... THANKS guys for being the best photo subjects any grampa could be blessed to have ... we miss you already and you haven't even left yet !!!

a flashback to Oct 2005 ... i think i remember Jalene saying then that she couldn't wait to have a little brother to share this special car with ... (-8b ... Ev rode for over an hour ... til the battery died

what would a 4th of July celebration be without corn on the cob and watermelon ... HEY ... we forgot the watermelon ... ???

Jalene was awesome as usual ... when Ev wouldn't put on his [ special ] PJ's for a picture ... Jalene thought if she put her [ special ] PJ's on ... Ev would follow ... it was a great idea ... but it still took a little more convincing.

it took a super team effort of Super BIG sister Jalene and Super Baby sister Janelle to persuade Ev to wear his PJ's for a pose or 10 ... [ thank you ladies ]

and here is our favorite Super-man -Boy himself ... [ great birthday gift Uncle Adam, Aunt Jenn and Isaac !!! ]
