We are only a week into July but already we have had a lot to celebrate. First off, Independence Day! We woke up Sunday morning and I got the girls ready in their July 4th outfits. I then gave the girls pedicures and manicures with red, white and blue polish. (I am a sucker for most holidays :)) After that we headed over to my in laws for their annual get together and ate some delicious home cooking.
Morgan, Case and Mallory. The girls enjoyed swimming in the hot tub and eating all the goodies as well. Our friends, the Perronis, joined us late afternoon and round two of the hot tub with the kiddos and again some more eating.
Silly sisters
Morgan is standing on a rock- not a sudden growth spurt and if you look closely her shirt says Miss Independent- couldn't be more perfect
After we finished up at my in laws we headed to what I consider the best kept fireworks secret in The Woodlands. For three years now we have gone to Augusta Pines Golf Course and had a wonderful firework experience. There is hardly anyone there, you can bring your own chairs, blankets, cooler and actually sit on the golf course and the fireworks last about 30 minutes. For young kids it is perfect. Not to mention when you leave, no traffic. I keep thinking it is a fluke but 3 years running and it has been great.

It was so fun for them and a great way to celebrate the 4th!July 7th- Our next celebration is my sister Sharon's birthday. We love Aunt Sharon very much and think she is one of the kindest and most beautiful people around. Hope you had a great day. We are going to go celebrate at dinner on Thursday.
Our next celebration which was another birthday and also on July 7th was one that was very important to us. Over the last 10 years this honoree has lived with us in one apartment, one duplex, 3 houses, 3 different cities, has been there for 7 jobs total between Lonnie and I, 8+years of marriage, 3 children, another companion(Brynn) and was our very first "baby". Broadie, one of our boxers turned 10! She has been an amazing dog and if her personality has anything to do with her longevity she will be here a while. Although she has turned a little grey she is still a puppy to us. Happy Birthday Broadie- we love you.
She loves the kids- I think she thinks they are hers.
Notice the grey- her face used to be all black! Case is loving his exersauser these days- he is getting so big.
