Carley Turns 7

This afternoon we had our friend's daughter's birthday party. Carley turned 7 on Wednesday and they had her party today. Thankfully, Bryleigh took a 2 1/2 hour nap before we left so she was in a great moon for the afternoon fun!

The plan was for all of us to head over to the birthday party, but Bryan's uncle stopped over this afternoon.  Uncle Kevin is helping us finish up our electrical wiring in our breezeway and garage since we recently had our final inspection. (If you are wondering, Yes, this indeed the final inspection from our garage addition over 2 years ago!)  our inspector gave us until August to complete the project.  So Bryan and Kevin worked their butts off in the heat today to finish up.  We owe Uncle Kevin a nice steak dinner or two for helping us out.  He saved us tons of money for not having to hire out an electrician.


This is really exciting to us since we have never had a ceiling light in the breezeway. For a short time, we used a cheap Walmart lamp (you can see it in the bottom picture) but since the garage addition we have had no electrical in the breezeway, therefore we had no light.  It makes for many stubbed toes and wall bumps coming in from the garage after dark. I might even hand a picture or two on the walls now!

In the meantime,  while Bryan was working his hiney off, the kids and I headed over to help Carley celebrate!

Bryleigh loved the slip and slide...

But our stubborn, strong willed little boy refused to put on his suit and wanted no part in getting wet.  Who's child is this...its 87 degrees outside?!?

Bryan never made it over to the party since they didn't even finish up until after 9, but he was very relieved to have one thing crossed off the list.  Now we only have to do a few minor things such as put up a few sheets of drywall in the garage as a fire precaution and put a few electrical covers on the outlets and then we can get the City Inspector off our butts!

And just to share a few cute pictures from last evening at the park and at Grandma and Grandpa's house!

Christian and Bryleigh love Grandpa's new boat...
