July 4th


We went to the parade on Saturday morning. Jarren was pretty excited about the jets that fly over just before the parade starts. We didn't really do anything special that day. We just stayed around the house and the kids played outside. That night we went to the fireworks. Rylie, of course, had to go to the bathroom just as the fireworks were about to start. Trey was so scared he had to sit in my lap with his head under the blanket.
Jarren got the go ahead to take the tests for his journeymans license. His first one is scheduled for the first weekend in August. He's pretty nervous, but I think he'll do ok. He's been studying and practicing quite a bit. We've been trying to do a little landscaping in our backyard. I'll post some pictures of what we're doing. We got a swingset (best investment ever!) and it really helps out with my babysitting kids too. Yesterday I took the truck down to get sand for the sandbox, I was pretty loaded down! I was too low to get the truck over the curb so I had to empty out some of the sand and wheelbarrow it up the steps and across the backyard until I had unloaded enough to be able to get over the curb. I got most of it unloaded, and then waited until Jarren got home to do the rest. The kids had a blast playing in it, and Rylie kept saying that this was the best day of her life! She gets pretty sentimental about things!
