Attack of the hornets

So I was out mowing the lawn and had something attack my back. Thinking it was just a bee or wasp, I just continued on. Well, Sunday we were walking through our yard and found this hanging in the tree. We weren't sure what it was or what kind of bugs these were, so Justin took pictures and did some research. Come to find out, we have a bald faced hornets nest in our pear tree. It was by this tree where I got attacked. Now I'm concerned to send my kids out to play, but hopefully we will be able to take care of this soon. I had to share this picture with you cause I thought their hive is interesting. Supposedly it is made from bark and saliva. What weird looking bugs.

4th of July

Okay, so I decided to post some fun pics of the boys first. I don't know about you, but my favorite pics are always the fun ones not the posing ones. So here you go, I hope you enjoy.










For the 4th of July we hung out as a family doing some small fireworks and blasting off the boys rockets. We also went swimming in the pool and had a BBQ. They had a lot of fun running around and playing at the home. Of course I'm sure the boys would have had fun with cousins as well, but we didn't get together with them until the following day. It was a nice day to just be together.
