Happy 4th of July and Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Nana!!!

We spent a wonderful 4th of July down at my Mom's...the 4th is also her birthday so we had lots to celebrate. She made a wonderful lunch for us...BBQ ribs, potato salad, martian food, 4-bean salad and bread. We ate downstairs in the screened in room and then Mom and I sat around and talked for hours.

Kelly found the festive headband and decided to stick it on Moose. Believe it or not he just left it alone. Of course we had to grab the camera and take a few pictures and then it was Oso's turn and then we finally got Nana in on the fun.

Kelly and Abuelo also played horseshoes in the back yard for a long time.

We took the kids down to the beach late that afternoon and then played for a little bit. Kelly loved looking for shells and treasures. He knows that his Abuelo has found old pieces of pottery. He found a piece and asked his Abuelo if it was old and Abuelo told him it was modern. Later he asked me what modern was and I said "new". He replied, "while why didn't he just say new!"

Finally we sang "Happy Birthday", ate some of Mom's yummy chocolate cake, watched her open her presents and then the fireworks.
