July is my favorite month I can't believe how quickly it came this year! We had tons of fun hanging out with family and friends over the 3 day weekend. Erik has given me speech after speech about how great our country is and that its "the greatest country on the face of the planet." How right he is, I am truly grateful to live in America where we have so many wonderful rights and privileges that are so hard not to take advantage of everyday. Here's a quick look at our fun filled weekend...

After a fun day of swimming at the cousin's with the Speechly side, we joined the Oberg's in Liberty for some delicious grub made by Taylor and Lynette. It was so good! Taylor smoked ribs and chicken, we had the best bbq beans ever and great pasta salad. Mmmm. The boys did some fishing and Crystal played with the duck, we then headed over to Liberty park to see the fireworks.

On Saturday we had a big celebration for my grandpa Speechly's 91st birthday party. He treated all the family to dinner at the Timbermine. It was so good to get the whole family, 72 people including kids, grandkids and great grand kids (with the exception of a few cousins) together to celebrate this wonderful man's life. He is such a sweet man and still has a great sense of humor. He treats my grandma so sweetly, still opens the car door for her and holds her hand. He was a war hero in WWII, worked as a State Farm Insurance Salesman and lived a wonderful life. We love him so much and are so glad he's still here with us.
