Steve's 1st Fireworks!!!! =]

today kim came & picked us up & we spent the evening at her house. there was supposed to be a big cook-out but for many reasons it was canceled. instead, we hung out at her house, ate spaghetti & cheesy garlic bread, watched the boys while they picked up their new puppy from the breeder [only 12 weeks old & adorable!], and went downtown to see fireworks. it was alot of fun & steve really loved the fireworks!! he was in a trance watching them & kept reaching towards them like he was trying to touch them. =] it was soo cute!! we were going to spend the night at kim's, but really wanted to sleep in our own beds, so we're going back tomorrow for some games & stuff. it was a good day.

oh, and on a side note, we've made up our mind & decided fixing the taurus would be more beneficial in the long run than selling it & paying for a different car. so we've applied for a personal loan through CitiFinancial & although it's still pending, we should get enough to fix the car. It's not my 1st choice, but a personal loan in this case is warranted [we need a car after all & have found no other way to get the money] and better than alternatives such as a payday advance. plus, we chose to get the lowest amount of money that we could, just enough to pay for the transmission work. that way, it'll be easier to pay off & we'll get it paid sooner than a larger loan. hopefully that should process by monday & we'll be able to fix the car next week. hopefully... keep your fingers crossed just in case, though!


anywho, here's tonight's pictures. =]

steve got stuck in the chair. lol. it was so cute, but he got frustrated quick & we had to rescue him. =P
