Summer goes by so quick, it is already a week into July! We had a lot of fun this year with the 4th of July, "America's Birthday" as the girls like to call it. Slip and Slides, sparklers, birthday cake and hot dogs with a baseball game playing in the back ground is what you would have found at the Eckert house this year. Neal has worked most 4ths since we've been married so it was nice to have him home.
There is something about this holiday that I just love. To add to the list above there is the warm weather, playing outside with the kids, watermelon, ice cream, and especially the fireworks. Here in Indiana you can put on a show in your back yard like they do at an actual fireworks display! There are a few pictures of our holiday weekend. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that I had a big smear on my lens until it was too late...
Selah drinking out of the sprinkler
Abby too!
Grace Anne loved it!
Daddy and Chloe`... in her baseball uniform!
We needed a break from the hot sun so all 4 girls were watching a movie
Too cute!

America's birthday cake. Funny story. This is Selah's first cake that she mixed by herself. I just directed her while feeding Chloe` on the couch. She did a great job! When eating it, I came across several "crunchies" and was confused, I checked the eggs she cracked in a bowl and knew none of the shells got in. So after another crunch I asked if she knew what it was....I guess Grace Anne had helped. Grace Anne dropped an egg on the floor and then put the shells in the bowl. Selah never told me or took them out! Ha!
the girls with their floats...
Even Chloe` had a patriotic outfit on
Neal using his newest toy...a weed eater. He does a great job with the yard and the garden! He may only have one thumb but it is sure a green one!
Cotton candy for the fireworks. We can see them from our front porch...such a blessing with little ones!!!

Chloe` tuckered out after playing on the floor. This girl can sleep anywhere!
