4th of July Weekend 2010
Jul 5th
This past weekend was 4th of July weekend. Since the 4th of July landed on a Sunday, it meant that everyone (non retail) got Monday off from work.
On the Saturday night we had a BBQ and Pool party with lots of friends from church. Our kids love the pool!
Daniel also got to spend the gift card he received for his birthday. With his gift card he purchased the LEGO Batman. Now he loves Lego Star Wars and Lego Batman!
Sunday was spent doing church stuff and most importantly hanging a cabinet in our bathroom. This was something we had been meaning to do for a month and we finally got around to it.
Today was family day. Today we took the kids to Stone Mountain and just hung out. We got to play Mini Golf together, go on a train ride, go on the cable car to the top of Stone Mountain and the kids loved playing in the big barn. My favorite part of the day was when I was sitting on the train next to Stephanie holding her hand. She looked up at me and said “I love you Daddy” then wanted to give me a kiss. Really if we did nothing else that day, that would have made it a fantastic day. 
It's a Mario Kart Wii Birthday
Jun 15th
Today is Daniel’s 6th Birthday. Due to his birthday falling during the week we celebrated it on the previous Saturday.
When planning his birthday we had gone through many options of what to do for it. Finally we decided on what Daniel had requested the first time around, to have his friends over and play Mario Kart Wii.
It turns out Daniel’s idea of a party was a great idea. We had two Wii’s going with Mario Karts and kids every where. Daniel had a blast! The great part about Daniel’s friends is that a lot of them have little sisters who are Stephanie’s friends, so she had a great time too playing with her mates.
Daniel received lots of Lego, and racing car presents. Mummy and Daddy took the cake though with the gift of Super Mario Galaxy 2 for the Wii. Nanny and Pop did pretty good with Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga for the Wii, while Gran and Granddad’s gift of LEGO Pirate Code Game (3840) got the Daniel nod of approval too.
All in all I can’t believe that we have now been parents for six years.
