July

Here are the kids ready for the Fourth of July festivities!

We went to a friends house for dinner (The Henry's) and then the weekend before we had a great time with some other friends (the La Pierre's) on Post at their firework show! I have always love the fourth of July it is such a wonderful holiday and we are so grateful for this country and the freedoms we have!

 We went with some friends to the chick Fil A dress like a cow day and got free food. Yes we also went for Breakfast lunch and Dinner and the kids had such a great time!

 The bowling alley in the area does a summer bowling program that lets kids bowl two games daily free! We went with a bunch of friends and they had a great time

It has been so rainy this summer here and the kids were getting tired of being cooped up in the house for so many days that we went out and played in the rain! They had such a fun time getting wet and of course avarie has to pose!

The first part of July we decided to finish off Reid's room and build him a headboard and get him a real bed frame so he was off the floor! He Loves having his new bed

June

Early in June we planted some tomato plants and Reid had to go out almost everyday and watch them grow! It was so cute!!

On June 8th Avarie lost her first tooth! She was so excited!!
