Happy 4th of July

Our weekend started Friday night with a trip to our old stomping grounds where we both grew up. My dad does a big BBQ there every year so we went and hung out and let him show off his Very adorable grandkids:) Over the weekend I am pretty sure Shane ate his weight in that BBQ and there is plenty more stashed in my freezer for later. If I thought that smellovision would have been invented soon I would have made a video of the BBQ cooking cause the smell is out of this world good.

We had a nice 4th hanging around the house, running a few errands, and hanging out with friends. We were lucky that the rain held out til after our fireworks show.

here's my "little sparkler" enjoying the night


There was also lots of playing with fire:)

Yesterday was another day of running errands and trying to get our pool from a nasty shade of green to a nice clean swimmable pool again:) oh and rain. Also some getting reading for our trip.

Hey not sure if I have mentioned it lately but we are T-minus 5 days til this girl is lounging on the beach!

4th of July, Wyatt birthday part 1, and swimming

So we ended up having a fun long weekend. We thought we would have no plans for the 4th but had some friends over to eat, shoot fireworks and drink a few adult beverages. The kids rode 4 wheelers and had a great time watching the firework display put on by both daddies. Luckily they didn't blow anyone up, even though one of the fireworks shall we say malfunctioned:)

Please don't hate me but Yes I did let my 2 yr old play with sparklers and she loved it and no she didn't burn herself.



This was the only good picture I got of the fireworks because it is so hard to know when to snap.


Saturday we had family over for the first edition of Wyatt's birthday. There is still more to come.

relief was felt by many when Gram managed to find the ONLY copy of Mario Kart in Middle TN at a Target.


Sunday we went swimming and of course the kids had a great time!
Here is Wyatt practicing with his mask and snorkel for the beach. He says he will be helping in the collection of scallops in the bay, but we will see.

His awesome cannon ball off the diving board!

and of course I can't leave out Abby
