Aye Carumba!

Wow, Rambo is 32 as of the 4th, as in the 4th of July! That's right, he's my Yankee Doodle sweetheart. For Rambo's birthday we ordered tickets to the Cold Play concert, we kind of love them. Happy Birthday honey bunny! This is the kids and I, on our way to get other stuff for Rambo's birthday, I had to stop at Carl's, I was jonesin' for one of their Star burgers, wowza that hit the spot.
Kermit got a new toy out of the kids' meal, Tink never eats all her stuff, so she just ate all my fries.
Later, we decided to try out the new toy, and take a "swim"
Oh yes, the new toy works fine, it is great for squirting little sisters (watch out Shirt!)
My little monkeys lovin' on dad for his big 3-2!


So sweet.
This is points for when she first drives a car through the fence...
We celebrated Pakkah, Rambo, and Sassy's birthdays, but Tink was pretty sure it was for her too.
Tink's 4th of July treat, it was a little rice crispie treat all dressed up for the holiday.
Now for the fireworks. Rambo loves fireworks soooo much, he passed out from shear excitement. Don't you worry, a little smelling salt and he was right up! Every year, we get glowies for everyone to wear to the fireworks. The kids loooove them. Tink thought she was getting geared up for a space mission. She really was bummed out when we told her we weren't going to space-try explaining that one to a 3-year old.

Oh yeah, she's astronaut material.
Knuckleheads.
Kermit enjoying the fireworks with Nana.
Tink and Sassy lovin' the action, and again, Rambo....speechless with excitement.
After the 4th, it was a fun-filled day in Sun Valley where they were having an antique show. I stayed home for fear of barfing in the Volvo which needed to be traded in, but I hear it was a heckuva show. Lots of stuff you just can't get anymore, like huge, plastic dinosaurs.


Awwww, isn't she cute on that 8,000 dollar rocking horse?...Get off honey-seriously. After the antique show it was off to try some fishing. Look out Grandpa's and Grandson's, these babes are taking over the fishing scene! Our Nana knows everything, I'm not even kidding.
Before we ended our trip, we got to go to lunch with Pakkah where Tink decorated herself and him with smiley stickers. It really is a great look, very sophisticated.
Thank you, Pakkah and Nanni, for a fun-filled 4th of July weekend, it really was a great time, sorry I was so pathetically sick.
Rambo, you are the bestest Daddy and Hubby a family could ever ask for, we love you to pieces and wouldn't trade you for anything!

Happy Birthday, Cris. Tink looks adorable in her 4th of July dress. I want to play with the the glow sticks, too. E-man and Tink look like they are having so much fun. Thanks for all of the pictures. N. your comments are so funny. I loved the ones you put on my blog, especially when you said that if you were ever up to see a sunrise, it would be because one of the kids was throwing up!

Nathan tried to wish Cris happy birthday but I don't know if he ever succeeded. I'm loving all the pseudonyms! When do Nathan and I get fake names? Miss you!
