Baby's first 4th of July...

we had a small bbq and swim party for the 4th of July, and decided against going to a park for fireworks, as Ginger is usually asleep by about 8:30pm or so, and most shows started at 9pm. Our friends Josh and Kari came over with their two kids Jared and Emmie, and Ginger's godparents Shanna and Randy came over too. We had a great time swimming in the pool and of course, Paul outdid himself with a great bbq of chicken legs, carne asada, chorizo, etc.

Paul was amazed at how well Ginger is doing in the pool. We've been spending time in there while he's at work, and she's learned how to kick, how to sit well in her crab floatie, and we have started going underwater together a few times too! Her face is just precious after a dunk underwater- her eyes perk up HUGE and her little mouth puckers together and I know she is thinking "Why does mommy keep doing this to me?!?!" But she's a champ, and has reallllllly taken a liking to the pool.

After many drinks, good eats, more than a few shots of Yegger and Tequila, and some late night jacuzzing, the night came to a close. We set off just a few fireworks, for fun, but the fire station is nearby so we had to keep it quick. All in all, it was a great day, I just love our little family.
