Merry Christmas from The JBarts: July 2009

Austin got his haircut yesterday and I must write about it because we have lived here a year and half and this is probably only the second time we have gotten it right. He made me put it in a mohawk last night. We made our own pizzas for dinner last night and it was a lot of fun! John and I attempted to make a chicken, spinach, red onion pizza with pesto sauce. It turned out great.
Annabelle wants and needs a haircut too. We tried yesterday but they had no appointments. I will post those photos when it finally happens.
Please check out the photos:
This is the new cut and his pizza he made last night in the shape of a heart.

Here is his mohawk. I LOVE IT!!

Spencer and his new best friend dispite my efforts to give him the pacifier.

Belle made her own pizza and she wanted it to be a circle. She did a great job!!

The Bart Family had a blast this 4th of July. We enjoyed a nice picnic(thanks to our good friend Jill) with our friends from our neighborhood from around 12:30 to 4:30. I ordered a pool online and the kids were all playing in it and we had some bubbles and games. It was nice spending this special day with friends. Jill also made all of us a delicious and beautiful dessert. It was an ice cream cone with raspberry sorbet, vanilla ice cream and a blueberry on top. Red, White and Blue. It was adorable and oh so yummy. The weather was beautiful and the ice cream cooled us down. Spencer even got a picture in his 4th of July outfit with his girlfriend. I will have to get the picture from her parents and add it later. Thank you everyone(you know who you are) we had so much fun and the kids did too. It is so nice to have that many children together for hours without any bickering. jWe are truly blessed.
At 5 we left the house and headed to post for a big Independence Day celebration. We are so thankful for the hardwork that the post did to make this day special for us. They had horse rides, a carousel, a ferris wheel, dunking booth(Austin's favorite), bouncy houses and many other fun things for the children. They also were giving a free meal to everyone there and lots of entertainment. They finished the night with a beautiful display of fireworks. I was hoping the kids would do well during the fireworks but worried especially about it being to loud for Spencer. He actually watched for a few minutes, then nursed and FELL ASLEEP! He only cried when it was over and everyone started clapping. Such a sweet baby. The older two just LOVED everything about the day.

Here are the pictures:
