Summer Fun

We are having such a great summer. The weather has been absolutely beautiful and we have enjoyed being outside in it as much as possible. We enjoyed our 4th of July weekend by keeping with some of our oldest "traditions" and starting a new one. Attending a 4th of July parade in our area that we have gone to since I was a little girl and then heading to my Aunt and Uncles house for a big family cookout afterwards was a blast. Helina LOVED her first fireworks display. She kept saying "oh mommy, that one was really cute":). We also started the new tradition of a block party. Good food, friends and our husbands fireworks display (they wait all to buy and set off their fireworks) had us all saying we couldnt wait to do it again next year!


Waiting for the fireworks to start
Doesnt get much better than this for scenery to watch while you wait.





Hangin with cousins at Aunt Pollys cookout. The kids rode on this golf cart ALL afternoon.



My patriotic sweeties!




Noah enjoying his daddies rocking chair from when he was a little guy.





Zoey is the most patient little thing. Good thing in this household














Helina and Megan. This is the night we went to see Wizard of Oz at our local theatre. Helina was completely mesmerized. She loved the singing and dancing.








Enjoying a Friday night concert in the park.
