July 4th 2012

First of all at our house we are sort of lame and forget to check the mail. LAME! Just before heading out to Jan Day’s house for festivities Josh brought in the mail (About 2 weeks worth…) In our giant pile of mail was a fun surprise from Aunt Linda. She is the best. We love and miss her TONS. Kaylee squealed with delight when she saw her new hair bows. “Now I can have fancy beautiful hair!” She happily sported her new 4th of July bow all day. Thanks Linda!

Cheesy family photo.

Shannon has been so great at helping Kaylee (kid won’t do anything but CLING to me) out with being in the pool. She get’s freaked out if her feet can’t touch the bottom. Well thanks to Shannon she is now jumping into the pool! Slow and steady with swimming for my two kiddos.

The Day children are super in the pool and brave. Shannon says that the more my two see their cousins swimming the more they will want to do it themselves.

I just want to smoosh these two cuties. Smoosh!

Jon made his Strawberry Misu for dessert. Much loved by all who eat it.

And the kiddos used the dog door for coming and going.

Bug was a littler fevery icky so he spent most of his time in the sling/ in my arms. 
We had such a lovely July 4th.  Amazing food, company, and fun. PLUS weather was AMAZING! I have never had such nice cool weather for the 4th and was certainly not expecting the weather to be so great here. But is was and I am grateful. Thanks Jan for inviting us to your awesome parties!

Epic Family Movie Night!

It’s no secret that our family LOVES family movie night. For this particular event we invited our Day family. We pulled Josh’s couch out from his room for extra seating, and all the cousins piled onto blankets on the floor.

I of course had to get some phtos of our epic family movie night. I enlisted Josh to help with the picture taking.
It was a sweet set up that we will be repeating again.  Good movie (Mirror, Mirror) and great fun!

Just the girls. NOT the boys.

That’s what I’ve herd about our girl’s day plans ALL week long from Kaylee.

We all had a lovely girl’s day out. Olive Garden, shopping, Brave. Kaylee was bouncing all over the place with excitement. Everything was great. Awesome food, great shopping, WONDERFUL movie. Although do to me wanting to “just swing in real quick” to Sally’s beauty supply we ended up on the very FRONT row for the movie. It was still so much fun!
