4th of July Weekend!!!

This past weekend we took a well deserved trip away to our family reunion in Illinois. There was so much to do, so much to eat, and so many people to love on our kids. We did so many fun things at Steve and Carol's house on the river, here are some of the highlights!


All the babies in matching tutus, except for Gabe of course!

Baby pool time!

Matching swim suits...







Uncle Steve, Grandpa and daddy took Emory to a fire station. She liked it at first and then was too scared to play on the truck. Doesn't daddy look cute?!?
Uncle Steve's tractor...



Catching lightning bugs with daddy...

Gabe got to try rice cereal for the first time!



On the boat...

Emory actually got on the tube with daddy! She was such a good girl and they took a very slow ride. She even kept the pink bow in her hair!

Gabe was very impressed.


Thank you so much to Steve and Carol for the wonderful trip and to grandpa and grandma for all the help. We feel so much more refreshed and ready to tackle house stuff.

We decided to start another blog with the fire updates, so that it does not take away posts from our precious kids. We have the link on the left side under the pictures, and we are going to keep that blog anonymous.
