The 4th of July

The Tyler families and the Zaepfel families all gathered at the Lake thanks to hospitable Grandma and Papa. There was so much excitement and fun that Brody about played himself into oblivion that night!! Here is a summary of the great day!

The babies played in the kiddy pool for a while.
Here they are still enjoying the pool.

Later on Maggie and Brody did some syncronized swimming. They are very talented I must say.

Henry did some of the moves as well.

There was so much yummy food. I think almost everyone that came brought a different kind of dessert. There were scones, sugared fruit, a flag cake, Debbie's special icecream cake, lemon marangue pie... the list goes on! It was amazing.

Henry again...I just couldn't resist posting this picture.

Teal and I enjoyed a fantastic intertube ride on the boat. She beat me staying on the tube 2 to 1. It was fun.

Here Tristin and Brody ran around over and over the basketball court chasing a basketball. Just another piece of the play into oblivion puzzle.

Come on... Henry is so cute.

So here is the highlight of our Fourth of July! Brody came out of his nap wearing this shirt...

So we are excited to see Brody as a big brother at the end of February. Please pray for safety as baby grows and for health for the whole family as we prepare for the Tyler family to expand a little more! :)

We broke it to Churchill...this was his response.

On a side note...Brody has been trying to go potty... hasn't actually gone yet. However, Brody is proud of himself for trying. We hope that he will get the hang of it before February! ;)
