I hope everyone had a fun and safe fourth of July weekend!  We had a fantastic time at our usual Fourth location.  Good friends, good food, and good fun.  This has been a tradition for us for several years now and has just become better with the addition of kids.  True, we are no longer awake at 3 a.m. playing poker or jumping off the roofs of lakeside sheds but there is nothing sweeter then watching your kids enjoy the boat rides, kayak rides, swimming, waverunners, fireworks and everything else that this weekend has come to offer.  The lake was crowded with kids this year so there was never a dull moment.  Anything from catching minnows to building sand castles to the very first firework is more exciting through the eyes of your children.  The conversations have changed from discussing late night crazy moments to what it will be like when the kids are driving the boat and doing the water skiing and we are sitting on the dock arranging marriages and praying that no one hurts themselves when thrown off the tube.  The lake holds many memories and firsts for all the generations of people who come to celebrate the fourth.  For our little one this year there was the mini-swim lessons, catching and kissing minnows and being awake for her first fireworks show even though she did not particularly enjoy the noise.  Speaking of; the fireworks show this year was better than ever and even with all the TNT on the dock, all the boys came home in one piece praise God.  Thanks so much to the Reed family for having us down year after year and providing a fun and safe atmosphere to celebrate and spend time with good friends.  We love you all!  Here are a few of my favorites from this years extravaganza.  To see the rest, check out my flickr page, http://www.flickr.com/photos/lhonza/sets/72157621012608278/  Most of the pics are private so shoot me an e-mail for an invite.  lhonza81@yahoo.com  Enjoy!

Hey!! Happy Father’s Day to all those Daddy’s out there! I wanted to share with you a slideshow that I made for Brandon this year. He is such a wonderful husband and father and he works so hard for us. As I type he’s downstairs with Bre playing and dancing in the living room. When I heard this song I new it would be perfect for a show for Brandon. It’s called Daddy-O by Frances England. Bre often calls Brandon Daddy-O and the lyrics just fit their relationship as Daddy and daughter perfectly. Enjoy!!
