Miller Honey & 4th of July

First off, I'll just go ahead and apologize for the blog silence since June 12th... Honestly, I still don't know what to say. I mean, the competition has been fierce. Lincoln came on the scene, and then Oliver took his first solo steps! How could anyone compete with a chubby newborn (with a fuller head of hair than my GRANDPA), and a crazy tipsy toddler?

Oh well, here goes...

My dad sent us some honey in the mail (Eric has become a honey fiend... it goes on basically everything now) and I decided to show our gratitude with a few snap shots of Eric in pure honey bliss...

He's gotten so excited about honey he actually asked me what I thought about him going into the family business... :\
Later that night he asked me if Miller Honey was going to pay him for his modeling... I didn't even know what to say.

The 4th of July started with a display of my cake baking SKILLS
Oh, you weren't aware we actually changed America's colors from red to pink? And I already know, the Statue of Liberty & Liberty Bell at top are absolutely stunning. It almost looks like a photograph of them. I have decided to start taking orders for weddings, birthdays, etc.

We went to a classic car show
(wearing red, white, and blue)

and fulfilled our patriot duty & attended a fireworks show
(I guess the recession really has hit all industries cuz this show was meager at best... in fact, I think we took this during the finale)

Although, not all was lost! I feel America really secured another victory that day...
Eric got a mean sunburn that weekend (this picture really doesn't do it justice). We have a never ending battle that always ends with me spraying Eric down with the sunscreen against his will cuz he thinks he doesn't burn... ever. That day, he snuck out without his daily dose and finally learned it's all for his own good.
He has willingly subjected himself to a hearty dose of SPF 30 every morning since. :)
VICTORY
