July 4th Fun

We had alot of fun this weekend with friends and family. Joshua and Melinda came over to spend the weekend with us. It was a little sad since it will be their last trip before moving to IN at the end of July. We had a cookout on the 4th for some of our friends. It ended with a huge water fight and then we all enjoyed the fireworks. The kids and the adults who were acting like kids all had a great time.

Getting ready to watch the fireworks. (The kids are looking at some fireworks in this picture.)

The Fitzsimmons ready for the fireworks to begin.
Melinda and I looking a little hot and tired from the days activities.
Could these two look any more alike?
Sam enjoying the water fight. (I know he looks very skinny in this picture, but this little guy eats a ton!)

Maddie ready to squirt someone. This was Maddie and Sam's first encounter with squirt guns and they had a blast.Philip ready to get someone wet.
After the water fight the kids had fun with sparklers.

Maddie wouldn't touch them, she wanted someone to help her hold them. (Thanks Miss Cheri!)

We had fun swimming a few times this weekend. Maddie is just like a little fish this year. All over the pool swimming and diving off the side doing cannon balls.

This is just an idea of how a little photo shoot goes with three toddlers.

All ready for church on the 5th. The boys are smiling but won't look at the camera.

Maddie and Sam going a little too far with the cheese.

Maddie striking a pose and the boys looking the wrong way. This however, was the best picture! As a little side note the lady in the nursery told us that she put the wrong diaper on Philip because she kept mixing him and Sam up since they were wearing the same shirt. Looking at this picture I'm not sure how you could mix them up....there are really some striking differences!
