the beginning of july.

it's "spicer is nicer" days this weekend. and since dan has been working on penk's monstrous deck for the last two weeks+, and finally finishing it today, my mom and i ventured to spicer early saturday morning... even though i was feeling quite "under the weather" and for that matter, still am. but i made the best of it and sucked it up and put on a somewhat happy face. we did lots of playing in the lake.. got a little, a lot wet. this sweet child of mine could easily spend every single day at the lake.. talking about the "wa wa" and the rocks. he REALLY likes the sand and lays in it, every.. single... time.
gavin really enjoyed the "lillys" and i thought he'd be eager to jump right on one since he's okay with our own Lilly, but nope. he liked petting and looking at them rather than saying giddy up.
and now dan and a couple of his guy friends are out a melvins having a grand ol time... i was not interested in hanging out with 6-7 drunk boys/men-- sometimes i'm not too sure what to call them :)

just with in the first two days we've had some beautiful, and crrrazy weather.

the storm that came through on july 1st made our first "home damage"....

but not too much, thank goodness.

our neighbors tree fell on the fence and onto our cement slab... THANKFULLY dan's work car was not sitting right there were it usually is :)

the damage was gavin's new, brand new, as in i just bought it that day, pool. our roof is okay and so is the fence... which is totally surprising. we got lucky, gavin... not so much! on a good note, the pool was $25 and can easily be replaced.

for the rest of the weekend we have a few bbq's and of course some fourth of july fireworks to watch! we are EXCITED!
