More house pictures!!!

Not too much new stuff going on, but here is the front porch with the slate, it isn't grouted, but i had to post it anyway cause i just love it!!!

The front still has more painting to do on it, but they added some more white, and actually the stairs are painted white now woo, but they added that darker grey on the bottom there and i just LOVE it!!! I told Ryan i want more of that color!!! I would have done the whole house that color, but ryan didn't trust me!!! =) So, we are trying to decide what to do still with the darker grey and we have a marroonish red color going to accent it too!

Fireworks!!

Here we are doing fireworks, this is Saturday night with my parents and Ryan's parents together. Jackie and her kids came into town for a couple of weeks and we have just been having a lot of fun. Matti loved the fireworks, but Sophie well, the top picture is her and kenzie sitting on ryan's mom holding and "comforting" the baby telling it that it isn't scary and that fireworks are fun! Sophie just kept saying "no more mommy, no more again". It was really cute, but really sad. Maybe next year they both will love it!

Hospital visit!

We were at a baptism a couple of weeks ago(i know this is late), and we were heading out the door and i heard this unfamiliar bloody murder scream.......it was Sophie! She had been playing with the door going out, which those are huge and heavy, and she had smashed her finger in the hinge part. Ryan got there first, and as i come running over i just glanced at her finger and we ran out the door saying "oh great, broken finger, hospital trip here we come!" and grabbed matti and ran. Luckily we weren't that far away from the hospital, but this picture is us waiting in the hall way for our turn. She had smashed really good. I don't like that kind of stuff too much but ryan said that her finger was smashed, twisted and bent upward. Well, to make a long story short, we got in.....finally, got x-rays, then doctor, and no broken finger!!! AMAZING!!! By the time the doctor got there her finger had straightened itself out, and was just swollen! They wrapped up her finger in tape and dosed/doped her up with tylenol and codien, and sent us on our way. We then went and got her medicine at walgreens and waited there for an hour and a half and got home finally at like 11:45!!! Fun night!!! I love this picture cause it just shows how strong my little girl is!! She was crying of course, but she really was just kind of whining more than crying! If it were matti that happened to, it would be a whole different story!!! =)
