The Fourth of July!!

YEA for July 4th!! We were able to make it back to Texas just in time to celebrate Independence Day. We got to do ALL the traditional things--went to a little parade, went swimming and had a bbq, and then watched fireworks! It was FABULOUS! Sure do love this time of year!


Mckenzie with her 2 cousins, Jacob and Caleb, waiting with anticipation for the parade to start.

At the Parade. I admit to being one of the few left that LOVE a good parade! Last year I dragged my family 45 minutes away to a parade that titled itself "The best in North Texas". ANd I will agree it was probably the longest--but not necessarily the best. So this year we decided to stick with the local small town parade and was GREAT.


Had to post one more of these 3! They have SO much fun together! There is always so much excitement when they see each other...And YES it can get a little CRAZY when they're together but its SO WORTH IT to see these smiles that are AS BIG AS LIFE!


These 2 had a great time jumping off the wall at a nearby swimming pool on the 4th.

Nothing better than eating popsicles and watching fireworks! Really, life can't get much better can it?! It was such a FUN day!
