4th-ing with the Starrs

Why does that sound dirty somehow? So much for trying to be clever with my titles.

We had a wonderful 4th of July over at the Starr's house this year. They've had a party every year for the past 6 years and we were finally in town and able to attend. I'm so glad we did. We had a great time! It was so fun to hang out with the Bolstads, the Henlines, the Hendersons (inluding Blake's new boyfriend, Zachary, their 7-year-old son) and the Sutherlands. Cody and Jessica are always such great hosts and our family loves hanging out at their wonderful home!!! Throughout the rest of the weekend the girls were able to spend time with all of their grandparents. Saturday we continued our holiday weekend celebration with a day of grilling and swimming at Ami and Pappa's (Chris's parents) new house in Keller. They're moved in!!! The house is looking so great. It's been a long time coming, but I think it is going to be so well worth it. We love being there already and I know it will be even better now with the main house finished and all of their stuff back from storage. It was so great to see everything. Nana (Heather's mom) joined us for the day too and we all had such a good time. It was so nice all day to think it was only Saturday even though it felt like Sunday. It was such a gorgeous day with a beautiful blue sky so it was really nice to be out at their house. It's such a great place to enjoy the outdoors. Plus, the pool is a great way to beat the heat. Sunday the girls enjoyed playing with Grandpa (Heather's dad) while Mommy and Daddy dealt with the broken refrigerator and freezer and getting it repaired. With the slight exception of that last part I have to say what a great weekend!!! We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and most importantly to have our wonderful parents living in the same town. I don't know what we'd do without them.
