Fireworks

On Sunday evening we had a few friends over to watch the Miller Park 4Th of July Firework Show. We live right down the street from Miller Park so you can see the Fireworks from our street. We have decided to make this a yearly tradition!
We loved spending the 4Th with the Vaught's, King's, and Brashear's. This was Tyler's first year to watch (stay awake) for the show and he loved it. All of the kids had a great time with their glow sticks and loved seeing the Fireworks. Ty keeps talking about them and wants to see them again. Ty loved pointing out the colors and green was his favorite!
All of the kids getting their glow sticks ready for the big show. Hudson, Cinco, Madison, and Sadie.

K.C. and Sydney. Sydney was a trooper and hung all night with the big kids.

(Please note: That is a glow stick in Ryan's ear, not a cigarette...He just wanted me to clarify!)

Weekend Favorites

Here are some more of my favorite pictures from our 4Th of July weekend that did not make my earlier posts. The top one is Abbie and Ty enjoying some cool water. They are so cute! Ty loved helping me and Daddy move the barricades for the parade. What a good little helper.

Family Fun

After the parade we headed home to pack our bags and head to Lakeway to spend the day at my Aunt and Uncles new house with my Dad's family. It was great seeing everyone. Unfortunately, my camera died right when we got there so I did not get too many pictures.
We spent the majority of our afternoon outside in the pool. Thankfully the weather cooperated with us. Ty became fast friends with my cousins little girl, Abbie. Ty wanted to be with Abbie at all times.
We could see several firework shows from the house so we sat back on Saturday evening and watched all the beautiful fireworks (Ty lasted until 9pm, so he missed out on the show). We woke up early on Sunday and enjoyed a big breakfast and then headed back home with Ghee and Poppy. We got home in time to clean our house and prepare for friends and fireworks!

3rd of July Parade

Come rain or shine we were determined to have the Historical District July 4th parade. My Morning started at 6:30 am with a balloon party at a neighbors house, and we blew up over two hundred balloons and had people lining the street with red white and blue balloons. However, most of our balloons looked really sad once they got out in the rain. It poured until right before the parade started.... however, that did not stop us. After the balloon party I headed home to get the boys so we could get the barricades set up and pick up lemonade from Chick Fil A.
We headed to the start of the parade and I was so relieved to see people lining the streets with wagons and bikes. A police car and two fire trucks were all ready for the parade, too! I must say that despite the rain we had a fun Morning with friends and neighbors. However, I was relieved when it was all over and I could enjoy time visiting with friends and taking Ty to see the fire truck.
Thank you North Temple for coming together and helping us put together a wonderful parade.
Madiosn came and joined Ty in his wagon.

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July from our family to yours!

5 Years!

It is still hard to believe that Ryan and I have been married for 5 years! I love Ryan more and more everyday and I feel so blessed to have him in life. Thank you Ryan for being a wonderful Husband and Father. I love you so much and I will always be your biggest fan!
I wish we could have enjoyed more of the day but Ryan had class this Morning and when he got home this afternoon we were on the go getting things for the parade. We still have Ty's wagon to decorate and prizes to wrap. I guess we are used to being busy since that is mainly what our life is these days.
Thank you Ryan for 5 wonderful years and I am looking forward to many more wonderful years!

Boy's Bath

The boy's bath is coming together. We added Landry's towel and some new pictures. The pictures match the boy's towels and shower curtain. I fell in love with this bath set when I was pregnant with Tyler and I was so thrilled when I saw they still carried it. I can't wait to have both Ty and Landry in there taking baths together.
We had a good rainy Thursday. Thank goodness we were still able to play outside some this afternoon. Ty went to School this Morning and I made phone calls and ran errands for the July 3rd parade. Tomorrow and Saturday are going to be crazy with all the last minute details for the parade, but hopefully Saturday Morning will be a huge success and a fun parade for the kids. I have a police car and two fire trucks..... I know Ty will love the fire truck. Ryan has class tomorrow Morning in College Station (he has been working all week on a power point and paper that are due tomorrow) and he took Monday off so we are ready for a long weekend with Daddy!
