4th of July weeeknd

I just love 4th of July, and it was even more special that it was Owens 1st! We had a blast, but as always it went by too fast! We enjoyed the company of family and friends throughout the whole weekend, it was great! On Friday we had the derby, Saturday we took the boys to the parade, then had a picnic at a friends house, then we all took a nap and headed to my dads for a BBQ and an awesome firworks show put on by my brother and Bailey. Sunday we took the kids to the fair. By Sunday night we were all whore out and in bed by 9!

A few pictures from our weekend.

Brady made me go on this with him because he was not tall enough, it was ok, but wouldnt of went on it if it werent for Brady!

Boys on the tilt-a-whirl

Owen finally passed out cold, he slept for about an hour and half while the boys rode rides

1st merry go round ride, he loved it and didnt want to let go when it stopped!

Watching and waiting


I took Friday off of work and took the boys to the pedal tractor pull for kids, Bailey got 1st in his class of age 9 and Brady got a ribbon for participating! It was fun watching all the kids.


Just hanging out

Silly boys

Rodney is one of the coaches for Baileys baseball team, and he thought since we painted the car orange due to left over paint from Baileys room, that he would have the kids on the team sign the car, it was pretty neat and I think the boys thought it was pretty cool!

Entering the derby

Ready to go

Last minute , turned into all day on Friday up until the very end

I even got to help!

The boys painting the car

Rodney didnt do so well in the derby, but he and the boys had fun getting the car ready. They even have plans for next year already!
