July 4th

On the morning of Independence Day, we headed out to our local Lake Highlands 4th of July parade. It's always so much fun, and it seems to be getting bigger and better every year.

Blinding sun anyone?!?

 One of our favorite babysitters is a Wrangler at LHHS.

 Go Miss Rachel Go!

 We ran into lots of friends at the parade and at the after parade party. Lena and Reid enjoyed the helicopter together.

 There's always time for bounce house fun!

 We were all pooped (and hot!) and ready for dad to pick us up.

 Getting ready for some post nap time fun with the Coles at their water slide/bounce house.

 Taking one last moment to honor those who protect our wonderful country.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag...."

Home Is Where the Heart Is

We realized we hadn't had professional pictures of the boys taken in our home, so we had a somewhat impromptu, mini at-home photo session this summer.

 Sunglasses Day at LHCCEC

 Summer is full of all sorts of fun at school! Snow Cone Day is one of the favorites for sure!

 Friday dinner at MiCo - a fave of the whole family (think Mambo Taxis!)

Sweet Hunter is sharing his coveted fruit bites with Dad.

 "Hold on, Mom, I'm just checking my O2 levels."

 Summer is for snow cones!

 And pickles of course!

 Reid went to Kidventure summer camp for two weeks, and he did awesome! Mom got to pack his lunch for the first time ever.  It was fun (temporarily of course!).

On Friday of his first week of camp, his group had a little performance. Reid's slacker parents had meetings they couldn't miss, but one of his school friend's moms sent me this short video.
