Happy 4th of July


I have always loved the 4th of July since it is all about hanging out with family and friends, eating and just relaxing. Our neighborhood has a parade that begins close to our house so we had a little pre-party with friends and then walked the parade to the Bucklews for their front yard BBQ. Thank You Mark and Claudia for hosting such a fun party and always being so welcoming to my entire family. You are so thoughtful, caring and inviting to everyone.

Here are some pics from the day.


Roman and Jay getting ready for the parade


Roman loved his shades


Grandma brought over lots of fun stuff for all the kids. It was so thoughtful and her and Scott even decorated little visors for everyone. Thank you for all the cute stuff. The kids loved them.

What is a blog post without a pic of Roman and Hunter?


Our friend, Stacey put together this adorable collage from the 4th. She is starting a photography business and has such a good eye, especially capturing children's expressions. Please visit her new blog to see her latest and greatest @
