4th of July Weekend

We spent the July 4th Holiday weekend at the lake house. We had a great time with family and friends! Luke and Madison ate up all the attention and LOVED spending time with the coolest cousin in the world. As I have said 100 times before I am not good at just choosing a few pictures so here are a ton from our weekend!

Madison, Papa, and Austin...oh yea, and Baby

Luke and Madison colored for the 1st time! Austin was a great helper and teacher! They used these markers that ended up being not so great and then they tried some crayons. Still a little early but it was fun!

Our good friends, Bert and Hannah came by with James and Campbell. We always enjoy seeing where James is and what he is doing because that will be Luke and Madison next year! Luke loved hanging out with his buddy and Boise in the back seat.

Jonathan's family came up on the 4th too! Justin (Jonathan's nephew) had a great time playing in the lake with Luke! I love Luke's face!! He LOVES the water!

Enjoying the sun!

I LOVE this picture! Jackie got them these outfits and they were SO cute on them! Austin really is the BEST cousin! He wanted to help give them a bath, sing them songs before they went to bed, cover them with their blanket, and so much more! He was a big help!

I picture best friends and trouble in this picture!

Nana brought cupcakes for the 4th and it was like birthday time all over again! They loved it!

Red, White, and Vroom and All American Sweetheart :)

We played in the pool a lot and Luke once again was mesmerized by the hose!

Uh oh! It was an itsy bitsy tinny winny bikini! Her first bikini!

We had a GREAT slip and slide that we ALL had fun on! No picture of the adults...they are too embarrassing!

Jonathan went down with Luke and Madison! They liked it...I think :)

Mommy and Pebbles :)

That is one good lookin' Gabby!!!! Wow! I hope that body runs in the family!

Sweet boys!

Papa got them all these outfits too! He has great taste! Austin, Luke, and Madison sure are blessed with amazing grandparents!!!

When I look at this picture I think about what this weekend was really all about. We are so grateful for all the men and women who serve and protect little ones like this! We recognize our freedom in America and our freedom in Christ!

This picture sums up our weekend! A little crazy at time....lots of laughs....and just good times with family!

We hope you had a great weekend too!
