Fun Filled Fourth!

We had a great 4th of July this year... seriously one of my favorites to date. 

We went to Hanna Land on Friday. The kids have been counting down the days until we left and had their bags packed for about a month now. 

We moved Brynn to her new forward facing car seat. I think she liked it!

She was so excited she fell asleep.

 Traffic jam in a small town.

 On Saturday Tyler, Tracy, Carson and I ran the 5K in Hanna. I have not been training at all, but I ran it in 39 minutes. Carson was super fast and ran it in 36 minutes. Tyler was a little ambitious and ran another three miles back to get our truck, hence why he is not in our selfie picture.

Then it was off to the parade. I love these three so much in their color coordinated 4th of July outfits. 

 We love the parade. It's nice and short and they throw out a lot of candy!

 Some of us like posing with Daddy more than others...

Our cute family! Tyler and I are sporting our 5K shirts

 Let's face it, Brynn was just there for the candy.

 Ok, so were these two.

 All the kids and Grandma Terry and Grandpa Craig

 After the parade we headed back and took more pictures because that's what I do.

 Brynnli was in heaven with all the rocks. I don't know why, but she loves to collect rocks.

 Only in Hanna do you go to feed the deer while waiting to get your pizza. Love small towns.

 Later that night we went to the Tabbi fireworks. Some of us were more excited than others...

 And some of us are just plain scared of Tracy.

 Every night we had a campfire and danced around. I think this is everybody's favorite part.

 The cousins had so much fun playing family. I just love how close these kids are.

 We had so much fun at Hanna this year. We also went for a long 4 wheeler ride to the lake and spent a lot of time building the new tree house. Can't wait to go back again.

On Monday, July 4th, we were only home for a few hours when we were off again to another party... this time at Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Bob's house.

 We had a bar-b-q and then watched the fireworks.

 This was the cool kid section. They were too cool to hang out with the rest of the family.

 Brynn was hilarious at the fireworks. Her facial expressions went from excitement to horror in a matter of seconds.

We had such a great 4th of July with family, fireworks, food, and fun! Can't wait for next year.

June Wrap Up

Here's a gross story to start off June's end of month posts. Makayla asked me to paint her toes, but she had a little hang nail, so I pulled it out. The next morning she was complaining about her toe hurting, and when I looked at it, it looked all puffy and red around the nail bed.

 I took her to the doctor and he drained the puss out. We found out she had strep bacteria in it. Gross!!!
A few days later she was playing and accidentally hit it and it broke open. This looks even worse.

 Luckily it was all healed a few days later. Note to self... don't pull hang nails.

We've been to the doctor's office quite a bit this month as we had hand, foot, and mouth disease go through the kids. Yuck!

Caden got to make a car for his drive in movie day at preschool. Daddy helped him make his decked out Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Truck.

 We went to Tammy and Bruce's house for a birthday party. How cute are these two?

 Just when you think they can't get any cuter, they do by snuggling together on the couch.

 And hiding behind the ottoman. 

 I got to help in Makayla's class on the last day of preschool for carnival days. I can't believe she is all done with preschool, but she is so excited and ready for Kindergarten!

 She loved Miss Lesly and Miss Shaylee and learned so much this year.

Cute picture of Grandpa Collard with his great grand kids.

 There's nothing sweeter than these two sisters. I love the special bond they have.

 Lunch time! I love my lunch dates every day with these three.

 Check out that view, you guys!

 Tyler got me a gift card for Mother's day to get my hair and nails done. I finally got around to doing it in June! I loved being pampered... thanks babe!!
