4th of July

Well, 4th of July this year proved it self proud! We ate lots of great food. Played lots of fun stuff! We especially enjoyed the slip and slide!
Ada and Griffin. Man, she was rocking those pony tails!

Rare mom-in-the shot pic

Griffin

Mary Blake worked hard all day sliding and sliding down the slip in slide. She was my favorite one to go with because she loved it when we piled up on top of each other - and we did!

Daniel, Brad and Jay were pretty serious about it. The only problem with going top speed on a soapy slide while lying in the huge tube....was the two huge trees at the bottom barely keeping one from falling straight into the pond!

Me, cautiously making my way day only to be slammed into by Brad to fling me to the bottom!

Garrison

Even Griffin finally got the hang of it!


























More Party pics






For Griffin's Birthday we headed down to Chickasaw Lake to celebrate. I had some cutesy decorations, but they blew away before anyone ever got there. Oh well. We really had a great time on my Daddy's fancy schamcy party barge! (pontoon boat) I am pretty sure we exceeded the capacity with each trip out. Nothing like good ol lake swimming to bring back memories!
Wren (with lots of suncreen in his hair) and Mattie Ruth

Marsh and James (6months)

James - too cute for words

Aunt Bek ready for action

Mattie Ruth's first peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwich was a huge success. I grew up eating these as a kid. If you haven't tried one yet, you must!

Once Griffin got his life jacket on, he never wanted to take it off. My how times have changed since last summer.

Isaac and Elliott being silly

Wren eating his yummy sandwich


This is Griffin getting teased over everyone singing to him. But secretly loving every second of it!!

The wind was so fierce I only managed to light 2 candles.
