The Hills 7-7-09

Hope everyone had a fun 4th of July weekend! We managed to have fun even though the weather did not cooperate for us on the 4th :) Below is our weekend in pictures!




This is from Sunday - the 5th....it was a BEAUTIFUL day! BLT's & Corn on the cob out on the deck :)











I think this picture is the epitomy of summer!












Here are the curtains I made - yes mom I said made :) As in went to the fabric store and winged them! They are not perfect, but they keep the bright sun out of our bedroom in the morning. I could not find any curtains to match our comforter and these are not perfect, but it was $30 (and a lot of swearing at the bobbin) vs. over $100 at most stores!






And here is Justin's new bedroom - finally done!!!!! (less baseboard, but we're considering it done for now!) His furniture came in on Friday and we got it all decorated. He loves it :) He also got a new TV because he's spoiled. We had given him our old one from our bedroom, but it doesn't fit on the dresser and is really wobbly on the Direct TV box....so he got a new one.





His fatheads from Uncle Mikey, Uncle Ry and Aunt Manda are hanging up - except for the Zetterberg one; he was too big! You need 6'5 x 5" of wall space and he doesn't have that in this room. He's rolled back up though to go in the basement when we finish it!









I love his new bed :) It's so comfy!












Justin helped me with the letters to put in Mason's room. We spray painted them and Justin was a big helper :) Insert sarcasm here!











This is what you do when it's the 4th of July and pouring rain out. My name was last hence the ugly color selection left :)













We managed to go to the fireworks after it quit raining at 8pm! We parked at Bob Evans, walked up a hill to an office building lawn and had great seats! You didn't get to feel the booms in your chest like you do down on the river, but we were in and out and the drive home was less than 10 minutes! It was great :) I think Justin was loving them from this picture.... At one point I leaned on Rob and Justin bent down from Rob's shoulders and hugged both of us and told us how much he loved us. I melted - and started crying :)



Waiting for the fireworks to start!
