4th of July Weekend

Well, I just got back from putting Anthony on his plane back to 29 Palms. This weekened went by too fast. Hannah, Seth, and I picked him up on Thursday night. His flight came in about 5:30pm. We were stuck in traffic heading out of the city. I think it took us an hour to get across the bay bridge! Wasn't too fun, but at least we were together. After stopping to get In-n-Out for dinner, we got home at about 9 o'clock. Sirena, Daniel, and Sarah came over to see our Marine. Poor guy was tired and crashed on the couch while everyone watched t.v. and ate Taco Bell. =-) He had to get up early that day (0430) and go on a 4 mile run!

Friday (7/3) I made a big pot of Borscht for Anthony. It was soo good and was 1/2 gone by the end of the day! He did a couple of errands and drove his truck around a bit. Dad let him drive the Monster truck for the weekend as well. He watched some movies with friends and family.

The 4th of July was spent at home. Daniel and Anthony parked trucks at a spot downtown to save room for us to watch fireworks. He had his friends come over and we bar-b-qued ribs. I made home made macaroni salad and sopa......sooo yummy! This was also Seth's first 4th of July! We watched fireworks downtown and got stuck in traffic for about 45 minutes. So fun....not!

Today I made a big breakfast for us all, then I made 2 loaves of banana bread. One to eat and one for Anthony to take with him to the desert. It was so good. We left at about 5pm and got to the city in record time. We thought we would hit traffic but we didn't. We were so early we went to dinner at Lyon's near the airport. Poor guy didn't want to leave. Hopefully we will see him next month if we make it down there, and then see him again in September here at home for Labor Day.

Seth rolled over from tummy to back twice tonight! I tried to get it on camera but the third time he didn't do it. It was on the bed so I'm not sure if it was a fluke or the real thing. I will try tomorrow on a hard suface. =-) He is so cute lately. Smooshie is the new nickname we have for him because he is squishy and soft.

Joe starts water Polo tomorrow with Dallas. I will try to get some of that on film. Maybe he will be good at it and get a scholarship out of it someday! We'll see! Hannah has been a big help for me with the baby. She was wonderful with him on the trips to and from San Francisco. Thanks Hannah!

I will post some pics of the weekend! Hope all is well with you all!
