Happy 4th of July

The 4th of July was a fun day.  We managed to get a picture of the 6 of us which is hard to do!

We celebrated with new friends at their house.  The kids swam, we ate yummy food and the girls tumbled.  The boys played laser gun wars and us adults had a fun time hanging out on the back porch.  At one point it rained and it felt so nice and cool outside.  The kiddos did sparklers without worry of it being to hot.

We had a wonderful day and we're thankful for our freedom and are proud  to celebrate our country!

July 4, 2016

Our July 4th was pretty low key and that was just fine with us.  The good thing about being back in Waco is that we have lots of friends to keep us busy.  We have been taking advantage of Gary being off work and enjoying every minute and so it's been a super busy summer so far!

Today was all about us hanging out together and staying somewhat low key.

We bought sparklers and smoke bombs and just hung out here at the house since Gary starts his new job bright and early in the morning.  I'm so excited for him!

God is good and he has shown that since we made our move back home.  I'm so happy with our choice to move.  I'm excited to see what else God has in store for us.  I can just visualize the home I can't wait to purchase.  I don't mind renting for now because I know that in time we will find the right spot for our family and I'm hoping that includes a pool for these hot summer months.  We have three summer birthday celebrations in our family and a swimming pool would be amazing.  

I'm saying all that to say...I can't wait to look back at this blog in a couple of years to see where we are compared to where we have been!  I sure do enjoy this scrapbook of ours!

Hello July!!

I can't believe June is over.  It has been a fun month celebrating.  

40 is going to be a great year! 

Now we welcome July with celebrating these two all month long.  I love having July babies. 

Happy July y'all!

7!!

Guess who is 7!!  I love this guy!

Netsie is in town for the week and she made him a chocolate cake with vanilla icing!

Today he tried to see how many different ways he could hold up 7 fingers!

He cruised the driveway on his new glider and we swam all afternoon!

He rode home in the front seat of the Jeep (all of one mile) like a big guy.  

We ended the day with a yummy dinner of steak, as usual.  Steak is always his go to favorite meal!  

Happy Birthday Hayden!!

it's their birthday month!!

I can't believe it's July 1st and the kids birthday month!!  It's gonna be a fun month! :) 

his early birthday gifts

Today when we visited dad at work we gave Hayden his helmet and motorcycle gear!  Even though he doesn't have a dirt bike he has been asking for a cool helmet for riding his bicycle.  Dad found one and a set of gloves too!  Hayden is thrilled and probably won't take his helmet off for quite some time.

There was a cool race car at the Honda shop and Hayden got to climb in.  He had the biggest smile on his face.  The boy loves cars and trucks and bikes and anything that goes.....

He's just like his daddy!

Fourth of July 2014

I love looking back at Forth of July's in the past!

I love my family and we had a wonderful day celebrating the Fourth of July!

We love making memories!

Happy July, their birthday month!!

Gosh I love these two munchkins.  

No one told me when they were born they would age.  I thought they would stay three years old forever. 

I love each of their personalities.  I love hearing their thoughts and opinions. 

I hope I'm not messing them up with my demands for a somewhat clean house.  

I hope they really do like my cooking. 

I hope when I retire they won't be embarrassed of the huge RV that will park in front of their houses to babysit my grandchildren. 

I hope they enjoy me as much as I enjoy them.  I get frustrated with them and they get frustrated with me too, but I hope we can still grow up together! 

Heading to the beach!

I fell in love with this picture of my sweet munchkins.  We will miss our furry friends while on our beach trip, but we know they will be just fine!

July!!

Our family has a busy and exciting month ahead. July is both kids birthday month, and that makes it one of my favorite months!

We are on a fun adventure this week with Gary while he works.

Yay for a fun trip! The drive is so beautiful. I love the big green trees filling the beautiful mountains.

It is raining like crazy and should rain all week, but we'll make the best of it! Our hotel has an indoor pool!

The kids just are excited we are all in the same hotel room. It's like a week long sleepover!
