Our Fourth of July Weekend

Happy Wednesday!

Today it is all about our Fourth of July weekend activities!
We started out our festivities with getting haircuts!

My hair was long, thick and very heavy so I needed something to make it through the hot and humid weather that we live in

So I cut it really short 

It curled up afterwards from being wet, but not washed. It took me a few days to get used to not having my long hair to just throw up into a bun but I love it now! 

After haircuts and lunch at our favorite pizza place we went and bought lots of fireworks! Riley saw Daddy and decided to stand up while we were in line. You can see Charlotte's little arm reaching for Riley! He sat down right after but it was cute to see them interacting! 

After naps, we went to the town 10 minutes north of us and went to the fireworks festival and made silly faces while waitng

He was throwing puffs at me

Then getting very serious when he saw them again

My sweet hubs! He also cut his hair! 

They had a farmer's market while we were there and someone was holding an alligator

and had another one behind him

The hubs and I

Riley and Daddy watching the fireworks! Riley loved them. The loud noises did not phase him at all

He even let Daddy  hold him up with his bottle 

Charlotte on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with them. She tackled me when they started and stayed in this position the whole time. 

My sweet babies! 

The next day we grilled out for dinner and did our own fireworks


and sparklers! The babies were in bed but they didn't hear a thing and slept all night! 

 
Third Fourth of July for this cutie! 
A little throwback of Charlotte's First Fourth of July! She was so very little! :) 

First Fourth of July for this sweet boy

The Fourth of July we wore our red white and blue but stayed home and just did pretty much nothing. Scott had to leave for work that night so we just relaxed but still had a good day!
These cuties are so sweet! I loved the outfits for the Fourth of July! 

So we started out Fourth of July busy, and ended it at home relaxing. It was a fun weekend of celebrating America and I really loved seeing Charlotte understand a little more of what were were talking about as the weekend went on.

Have a great Wednesday everyone! 
XOXO

Some much needed family fun!

It's been a bit hectic the last few days! We got up and went to church Sunday morning for the first time at a new church. The pastor was so funny and made a new church less scary for me! Then Charlotte went to Mimi's for a few hours and Scott and I ran a few errands, cleaned out the truck, and went to the pool hall to play a few rounds before going to get her. I don't know what it is about the pool hall but it always is a place we enjoy going, without baby of course! After we picked Charlotte up, we went home and relaxed for a few hours and watched tv and played COD:ghosts!( Another one of our couple things) Then I packed a bag for Charlotte, did Scott's laundry, and cleaned up the house. Finally I packed my bag. Why am I packing bags and cleaning up the house you ask? Well, Charlotte and I are with Scott this week going to Florida. We are going down to the gulf coast for a little sun, surf, and family time, and Scott has to work a day down there as well! Then we ar

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day to all! It's been a wonderful family weekend! Unfortunately our Memorial Day ended early, since Scott is now headed to work. He has to be in Miami, 7 am tomorrow! Yuck. Luckily Monday is almost over and we only have to make it until Friday until we see him again! Trying to stay positive and look at it as a good thing, not a bad. It is hard to see him leave, but I know he has to go to work. Charlotte was sad but luckily nap time was soon after he left so she transitioned into sleep fine. She will be upset when she gets up in a few but lots of cuddles, cartoons and playing until bed time will keep her preoccupied. We are headed to the beach this weekend, and then staying down there for the week while Scott works, but we will all be together and Mommy and Charlotte will be looking at houses while Daddy works so we will stay occupied with that and lots of pool time! Cannot wait until this week is over. May is almost over, then June is here! Cannot believe that!

Weekend Recap: This Weekend Edition

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a good Monday! We certainly did! We did not run around like crazy people and got Charlotte's big birthday gift from Momma and Daddy yesterday so all is on track for our princess turning 3 on Sunday! This past weekend started out slow with playing with all of our toys and stuffed animals  and taking lots of naps on the momma Saturday was spent cleaning, taking out the garbage to the dump and buying groceries. So Saturday we spent just getting ready for the week and taking care of everything we needed to get done for a busy week that we are currently in. We also took one more day of rest to recuperate from the stomach bug and allergies that made the rounds through our house.  Sunday we got out of the house because it was not too hot and not too chilly and it wasn't raining so it was the perfect day to go to the flea market.  The babies are watching a show which is why they are not looking at the camera, and we were sitt
