Playing dress up with one of her presents

Soooooo tired

Happy 4th of July!

This has been a really fun 4th! Sunday night we had a BBQ at Mimi and papa's. They both loved the snakes and poppers! Then we put Carter to bed and let Anna do sparklers and smoke bombs....so fun! Then Monday morning we had a neighborhood parade from pond to the pool where they had a huge waterside for the kids!

The parade started from our neighborhood pond

Now it's time for the neighborhood parade

After we put carter to sleep we let Anna help daddy with some real fireworks!

All girl!!! Stresses by "messy hands"

Yeah fireworks are sooooo fun!!!!!

All boy...hands were soon very very black

Teamwork

Oops...He saw Scott step on a popper and then kept trying to imitate him

Finally let Anna ride the horses...and now she's in love!

First dance class with BFF lily!

By the end she was a pro!

She was a little nervous at first...

Anna just said "Mommy I just love summer don't you?". I find that so funny because she came up with it all on her own. And she's right...I do LOVE summer!

Happy father's day!

We had everyone over for a cookout. Daddy made delicious chicKen on his new grill. The kids fought over mark's attention as usual!

Fun with arts and crafts!

Such a big boy! And loving it!

Mr. Clean...he even puts my shoes in the shoe basket if I leave them on the floor...scary!

New big girl bed! Her crib was getting too crowded with all 25 of her favorite dolls so we had to give her a bigger bed to make more room. She loves her new life size tinker bell to cuddle during the night. I can't believe she is so big!

Fun with stickers!
