not the photos you expected for a 4th of july post? oh, but what a fun 4th of july...a 4th of july to remember, celebrated with great friends (steph, mike and their one-year-old, liam). what started out as a BBQ get-together between two families ended up a mohawk, shaving heads party. don't worry. i still have all my hair and...so do the kids. but steph's husband doesn't.

4th of july.
steak and burgers brought by friends.
yummy red wine (la crema pinot noir, of course).
a discussion is started about shaving heads.
steph said no way steve shaves his own head.
mike says yes.
steph loses the bet.
more eating and drinking.
an agreement is made between husband and wife.
mohawks are shaped on all males wtih hair.
one husband shaves the other husband's head.
lots of photos taken by one wife.
kids and adults jumping off chairs.
more photos taken.
chair is broken by one husband.
wives laughing their butts off.
another husband poses like matthew fox, encouraged by two wives.
a night of great fun and lots of laughter with friends had.

i'm hoping that steph posts more photos (she took the majority of them and they're hilarious).

steph, mike and liam leave this friday for RI. you'll probably see me talking a lot about them in the next few days b/c i hope to spend as much time as possible with them before they go. it's the one thing that sucks about being a military family; it's a standard that friends come and go.

the photos:
my wine glass on the patio table
ryder posing for the camera (to keep me from photographing his sister)
and ryder's mohawk (it took three days to get the goop out of his hair)
