Firework's Day

As with all holidays, Davis was very excited about "fireworks day." We have lived here for 5 years, and we either go to a Ranger's game or do nothing for the 4th. This year we went to the "Boomin' 4th" in Hudson Oaks. WHY have we not gone before?! We all had so much fun! I tried to get a cute picture of my babies...together...before we left.

This was the best one of them together. Thanks guys.

He pretty much RAN the whole time. Love it!!

She was following him, dropped something, and he came back for her! Such a sweet boy!

This one. She finds boys everywhere we go! We are going to be in so much trouble when she gets older.

B.L.E.S.S.E.D!

He went right up to the stage. :) They had live music, and at this moment they were throwing beach balls into the crowd for the kids. He wanted one so bad, but just stood there. :) They saw him though, and he got his ball.

We were also happy to get to hang out with Matt and Leissa. It's been too long.

They also had Navy Seals jumping out of a plane. A perfectly good, fully functioning plane. They sold raffle tickets. The winner "got" to jump with one of them. Ha. No thanks. The guy that won was super excited though.

These two spent some time discussing the fact that they would not be jumping out of a plane...ever.

I did not zoom. They really landed that close to us. Davis thought it was so cool!

The End.

Sunday

Sometimes I get my act together and we're ready for church in time for a few pics. However, most of the time, not so much. A couple of weeks ago, when we got home, they still looked "put together," and I got a few!

The church nursery will wear a person out!

After naps (for Anna and Daddy...Davis certainly wasn't going to sleep), Uncle Cody, Aunt B, Austin, and Dylan came over!! They moved to Florida last year and we have missed them TERRIBLY! We were so happy to spend some time with them!

(Reilly was here too...he lives next door.)

This little hot mess is IN LOVE with the boy next door. In.love! It's super cute, and a little scary. This was her reaction when he had to go home. Ha! I sent this picture to Reilly's Mommy, and when she showed him he said, "Did she want me to sleep there?"

This was my idea. WHY have we never done this before?! We were having so much fun, we missed dinner time...by a couple of hours. Since it was a "school night," and already past their bedtime, we had PB&J's in the bathtub. Genius! They ate, we stripped them, and the sticky dinner mess washed down the drain! They went from playing in the yard, to bed in 37 minutes...has to be a record!

18 Months

My baby is now a "little girl" instead of a baby! HOW?! She is growing up so fast. She is so smart, funny, sweet, sassy, tough, and tender. She can keep up with boys a year older than her, and play sweetly with her babies. She says more words than I can count, and a lot of phrases. She says "no ma'am," but refuses to say "yes ma'am." She LOVES watching "Sofia the First." She squeals with delight when we turn it on, and runs and jumps around the room pointing at the TV yelling "wook, sophia!" over and over again. She is still so good, but don't cross her. She still sleeps with her blanket with the half animal thing on top, and MUST have several babies in her bed too. Last night I counted the blanket, and SEVEN babies. SEVEN. I love it! She is 23 lbs, and 32 inches (both 50ish percentile) of sometimes uncooperative love. :)

Yep. That would be my phone in her hands. Don't judge...I just needed her to sit for 2 seconds! :)

First Movie

A few weeks ago we decided to take Davis to his first movie in a theater. He loves the original Monster's Inc, and the new one was coming out. Perfect! He.was.so.excited!! He talked about it ALL day.

He surprised us both and made it through the whole thing. I fully expected to have to get up at least once, but nope. I love getting to experience new things with my babies, and can't wait to do it again!
