July 4th {Week}

*Monday, July 1st*

We drove into Rogers that morning to meet everyone at the Rogers Aquatic Center.  We spent from 11-3:30 wearing all the kids out.

Later that night Andrew took a study break to try out the new fly zapper and to compete against Jonathan on Wii Fit.

Note: Andrew was not licking the zapper and I would not recommend anyone licking it.

*Tuesday, July 2nd*

Jolene and I took the kiddos on a hike to Tanyard Creek to see the waterfall.  The kids loved the hike, however the waterfall had dried up a bit so it wasn't as exciting as it usually is.  Regardless, the kids got to touch it and get their picture.  Then we all sat down for a little picnic lunch.

Later that night, once the children were all in bed, we went to see The Heat. 

*Wednesday, July 3rd*

We started the day with a trip to the theater to watch Despicable Me 2.  The kids loved it and I think the adults enjoyed it just as much.  It was a very cute movie (aside from all the "fart" humor).

Later that night my cousin Laura and her family came in from Texas and we all got together for a pot-luck style picnic in mom and dad's pavilion.  The kids were eager to finish their food so they could get back to playing.

*Priceless*

*Thursday, July 4th*

After a morning of playing we headed to lunch at Qdoba, then to Braums for dessert with Beth, Victor, Grandma and Pap-pap.  Can you tell these kiddos like ice cream?!

Let the festivities begin!

My cousin Beth and I are due just a few days apart.  Can't wait for these little babies to meet!!

Beth (15 weeks), Me (14 weeks)

'A' made an awesome flag cake, that tasted just as good as it looked.

Audrey got her baby holding in!

Watching everyone shoot bottle rockets before the big stuff got started.

I got to help a friend take some pictures for her gender reveal.  It's a boy, by the way.

*S'more Time*

Getting comfy for the big stuff.

There was much bigger and more beautiful things than this but I didn't take many pictures.

So glad my sweet cousin Laura was able to make it with her family!!!  We love having them closer.
