FHE at the Van Komen house!

Last night we had FHE at the Van Komen house! we ate home made sweet pork burritos for dinner! they were super good thanks to Shelby and Nick! after that We all went outside and the boys played back yard soccer (thankfully no one went through the fence this time!) and the girls and kelly sat and talked! it was so much fun! When it finally got dark we all sat down and watched a movie out back! it was so much fun! we watched Cloudy with a chance of meatballs! its such a cute show and we had so much fun!

World cup party!

This last sunday we had some friends over for the world cup! it turned out to be lots of fun! except for the fact that holland lost! haha Spain played a really good game though! we went all out for this! we decorated the house (well nick did) haha they hung a HUGE Netherlands flag from our flag pole, hung orange flags from our rain gutter to the flag pole and they asked me to make a sign that said "go holland" for them... it really turned out pretty good! Nick and ben went and bought Orange baseball socks, orange basketball shorts and Bob (my father-in-law) pulled out the box of holland stuff and they were all decked out! we had orange plates, cups, orange juice and mountain dew (the orange kind.... cant remember the name of it!) it was a crazy party! lots of fun!

Nick and i made a big purchase this last week. but its something that will last us for ever! i've played the piano since i was 7 years old and i was dying with out having one at our house so we came home with this:

I spend countless hours on this... (sorry for the inconvenience anyone thats come to my house!) We also have a new room mate! Shelby Clark is living in our basement now and its so fun to hang out with him and hear him play the piano. i wish i had his talent. he is so respectful and a very good friend to us!

Life is soooooo great! i couldn't ask for a better husband or life! he makes me soooo happy every day and i love him sooooo much!

4th of July fun & even more!!!

A Lot has been going on in my life lately! and i have to say.... I LOVE IT!!! i couldn't ask for a sweeter husband or better friends! even though most of

them are guys (nicks friends :) )
We had an amazing 4th of July weekend! on saturday we did LOTS

of things! Nicks brother Matt had a food tent at West Point days. "Rocky Mountain Catering" they made pulled pork and Gourmet burgers! they were soooo yummy! it was good to see old friends there! so for a couple hours in the morning we went to the tent to hang out and help. later on that afternoon we had a BBQ with a couple close friends! Rjet, Shelby, Braxton, Choi and Benny were there! we ate shish-kabobs and burgers and the boys played NHL on the playstation. Im not a fan of the game but i LOVE seeing them

have a fun time :)

Benny, Braxton and Rjet Playing NHL!

Shelby & Nick cooking Shish-Kabobs

After dinner (and a couple of NHL games) we went outside to light fireworks! it was so much fun and somewhat dangerous.

I think we (Kelly, Nick and I) had wayyyy too much fun with the smoke bombs on the side walk! unfortunately it'll be there for a bit haha

& with all of the fire fun ben decided he HAD to blow fire. i have it on video but that requires extra time and effort

:)

ben spitting up flour still haha

& by the end of the night with illegal fireworks from Wyoming, Ben blowing fire and people shooting other people with bottle rockets the fire dept. got called and came to the house. haha by the time they got there we were pretty much done... they took like $5 of our fireworks ") the rest stayed inside for the 24th.... but im sure the boys will drive back to Wyoming between now and then!
