Did you get everyones' fingernails cut....I can only imagine all the germs. I am off to cut my dogs' nails as soon as I sign off!

That's my kind of math! Love the sleeping pictures of the girls in the car - too true! Looks like a wonderful time Libbie.

That is one serious party! Hey, so we are driving to Idaho this week & I think we'll be driving through your town. We wanted to stop by & see you guys if that would work out. We are thinking we could either make it there by Wednesday evening or early Thursday before we hit the road again. Are you guys in Kennewick? Let me know soon so we can see if that would work out!

It looks like you couldn't have had a more perfect time! I really enjoyed the pictures of your sweet little girls, they are so cute. I think hanging out with family is one of the funnest things ever.

the pictures on the ride home are precious and explain the whole weekend!

Dana and ohana said...

LOVE the last two pictures of the ladies! They are WORN out.

The Dean Family said...

so cute! looks like you guys had a great 4th! loved looking at all the photos!

The Donald said...

Wow, you guys looked like you almost had as much fun as we did. Or maybe you did have as much fun.

Anyways, I love the last two pics of Eden and Ava asleep. We have pics like that, and they will come in handy 10-12 years from now when they go on their first dates. Sometimes it is so cool to be a parent now and be able to pull out the embarassing pics.

Too bad the 4th of July is only once a year. It is my favorite holiday!

Fun, Fun weekend! I love the 4th - food, family and friends what else do you need. My heart goes out to you with the Lila situation. I do relate. It is not fun the no sleep thing is the killer. At least they do grow up and you're already 4 months in! Good Luck! The crying thing worked for me when they were older like 10 months.

What a fun weekend - loved the nerd alert!
I especially love the totally wiped out girls at the end. I love it when kids have so much fun they pass out.

Lisa Christine said...

FUN FUN FUN!!! Great pictures! And I am glad to hear that your girls were all good for you...a happy Lila is a good Lila, right?

(I love Ava's flamingo swimsuit)

The Yancey Family said...

I'm so jealous! I wish we could have been there too! We're so there next year!

I promise that I won't change my blog bacground for one month if you help me think of a name for it. Deal?

Kristen said...

you chose that trip over hanging out with me, my computer and my cell phone??

laaame.

I want to come back! I was unpopular in high school so I STILL don't know what "going out on the town" in kennewick entails. :)

Mary said...

Sounds like fun!!! Loved the nerd alert and swimsuit with slippers. Too funny!

JoAnna Anderson said...

As much as I love your blog & commenting on them, can you send me your regular email address so I don't have to clog it with regular chit chat? We want to be able to see you guys Wednesday night when we come into town. Our goal is to arrive in Kennewick by 6pm. Does that work for you? Shall I call you when we roll into town to get directions?

Lydia said...

OK, that last picture cracked me up! I'm sure that pretty much summed up your trip. Too bad we missed each other while in Idaho. Your idea of Education Week in Rexburg next year isn't a bad one. Let me know, and I'll be there.

Emily Kern said...

I am so glad we got to see you guys! We had so much fun!!! I love those sleepy girl pictures! I sure have cute nieces!

Nancie said...

Edyn is OUT!
Im jealous of your trip. I want one.

Lesley said...

What a fun weekend Libbie! Such cute pictures! Your girls are so pretty!

Bryn and Blaine said...

I would have loved to see everybody. Why wasn't I invited? Anyway, looked like so much fun. I am using your blog to say his to Gretchen, Mamie, Emily and whoever else I missed.

What a fun weekend! And, I love the last shots of the kids sleeping! THAT is how you measure a good time had by all.. the completely exhausted kids!

Cute pictures!
