what a wonderful weekend we have had! we started off our independence day just right. we were able to attend mass and thank God for the freedom we have and it was beautiful as always! we then went home to pack up and head out for good ol’ hamburgers and hotdogs at nana and papaws house. sam, you enjoyed your very first independence day watching big brother in the pool. you weren’t quite ready for that yet sweet boy.
after lunch we headed out to brazos country to get a quick little picture with our bff. it was felicity’s first fourth too! samuel, you were amazed by her.
but i don’t blame you, she’s pretty adorable and she can do new tricks too!
gramps and granny had just gotten into town from a fredricksburg trip… so we made sure to swing by and grab some hugs and kisses.
{oh and pictures too 🙂 }
we made it back home in time to get maudie dog in the garage. she is not a fan of fireworks. at. all. the weather wasn’t helping either. this picture is classic. i wanted to grab a few snap shots of you boys before the weather got worse. i ran outside and set up. it was really windy and jack, you wouldn’t step out at all. sam this was your excited face….
and that’s a wrap! indoor pictures will have to do.
especially when jack is almost as scared as the dog when it comes to fireworks. we opted to have popcorn and m&m’s and enjoy them via television. jack you were happy as can be about this!
jack even tried singing along to some barry manilow. oh my. aunt colleen would be so proud!
our neighbors didn’t really get the memo that there should really be a cut off of fireworks after a certain time. we chose to make a pallet and watch some tv until it all died down..
at like o n e a. m. in the morning.
