4th of July

As we celebrated the 4th of July this year I couldn't help but think that this time last year I was hugely pregnant and over due! And wishing our beautiful baby would join our family. And now here I am one year later with an 8 year old and a 1 year old having a blast with family. It's great not to be pregnant!! hahahah!!!

 We had John's family over for dinner and Fireworks and I made the Red, Blue, and White (clear) drink again. This time we made it in one great big dispenser. The kids LOVED it!!!

Maybe we'll make this our 4th of July tradition.

We have an 8 yEaR oLd

Man do I feel old when I say that out loud. My son is 8! And it is GREAT!!!!

We celebrated his actual birthday by taking his best friend Adam with us to Seascape. We met up with Janica and her kids and Jennie and her crew for some fun in the A/C. We ♥ that place! 

And then we went to Sonic for slushes (gotta LOVE half price drinks for HAPPY HOUR)

 and then we met John at Red Robin for dinner. It was a wonderful day!

I think Charles and Adam enjoyed themselves!!!

PuZzLeS

Claudia's new favorite thing to do is PUZZLES!!! She LOVES them! And she is getting better and better every day. It surprises me how well she does them. I guess she has a good memory like her daddy.

This puzzle is a 24 piece puzzle and it says for ages 5+ on the box. 

Boy do I LOVE this little smarty pants!
