FIREWORKS GALORE

Wow what a busy fun weekend. Saturday our city and one of the local churches put on a 4th of July celebration. We loaded up and headed there with our neighbor and his girls. Byran was working so it was just Christopher and I on this venture. they had bouncy houses, which Christopher usually will have nothing to do with, but I guess he had 2 influences today and we could not keep him out of the bouncy houses. After jumping for a while we went back to our blanket and had snacks and cooled off. They played a movie when it got dark but there were so many people there, we couldn't see of hear the movie. Bryan finally made it and he took Christopher to bounce some more. After the movie they shot off fireworks and it was probably one of the best shows I have ever seen. It brought tears to my eyes. Christopher LOVED them. He kept saying "cool beans"
On Sunday, we had our neighbor and his girls come over to play in the pool and us grill out and enjoy the day. We had so much fun, we were outside all day enjoying good friends and good food. When it got dark Bryan got the fireworks out and put on his own fireworks show for us. He did a good job this year. He got some really long sparklers that the kids LOVED. Christopher had so much fun today he fell asleep in my arms with the fireworks going off. It was a great day had by all.

pure cuteness

I just took these pictures and they are too cute not to post.

Happy 4th of July

We don't have plans of going anywhere for the 4th. I can not remember when the last time I did not go to Mobile for the 4th was but I know it has been forever. We are keeping it simple this 4th and plan on doing some grilling out, playing in the pool and shooting fireworks. We hope that everyone has a fun and safe 4th of July. Here are some pics of my little monster and some of his friends at a 4th of July playgroup we went to on Friday. (check out the cheeks on Baby Brennan- he is the cutest thing and I can not get enough of his cheeks).

funny boy

While we had Aunt LeLe here this week we have been super busy. We have shopped, shopped and shopped some more. We did stay home for a few days to relax and sew. Here is a picture of Christopher eating a pop with Mr Potato head glasses on. He looks like a little old man.

Good friends

My sister came in town this past Sunday to spend her vacation with us. We already had plans to meet up with Alicia and Hadley so after speech we headed to lunch. I love watching these two grow up together and so glad we get them together for "lunch dates" We wnjoyed lunch and got a few pics of the two of them. Of course when one would cooperate the other would not but here are some cuties.

Pool Time

I have been wanting to get Christopher a pool for our yard but I wanted one big enough for Bryan and I to be able to enjoy. I searched and searched and found what I thought to be the perfect pool for our family. Well after about 4 days of looking for it and 6 hours of getting it together we finally have our pool. Here we are getting in it for the first time. Christopher was so excited about his pool and we could not go another minute without being in it. Since it took so long for it to get up and running (b/c the ground had to be flat, which involved a tractor and a load of sand) and then the hour it took to fill it up it was later in the afternoon before we got in and boy was it cold. We were literally chattering out teeth. We had some friends over for dinner so they joined.

Last day at the beach

We got up on Friday and headed back to the beach to get in a little more fun in the sun before we headed back home. The water was open again today so we got to get our feet wet. We walked down the beach a little ways to check out the other parts of the beach. We stayed at the beach for a while, went back to the house, showered and headed back to Alabaster. We had a good time at the beach. I love seeing Christopher play in the sand and enjoy being outside.
