Beautiful Birthday

Benefiting from perfect weather, the ever-growing crew and I enjoyed a flawless great American birthday - Happy July 4th! It was refreshing to be home once again with family and friends. One parade, two picnics, three baptisms, an all-in birthday party, a pontoon parade, tubing, knee boarding, six quarts of homemade ice-cream, jet skiing until dusk, rock pile construction and a couple hundred fireworks. Yikes! I think I’m worn-out. Thanks to Brandon and Missy (and the little guys) as well as Margie for helping to make this such a memorable weekend. And an extreme thank you to the grandparents of both families who so ably make times like this seem easy (even though they aren't). We love you all. In this photo, Mariah navigates the parade crowd on a one-of-a-kind Whisper Whip which premiered earlier this year at Scorpion Homecoming 2009 (lots of great Scorpion hardware in the parade this year).
