Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July!  What a busy, busy weekend. On top of all that busyness was a ton of fun. I hope you all had a wonderful & safe holiday weekend.

On Thursday morning my sister arrived at our house to start the festivities.  I brought back her little cowboys on Monday for the week and we had so much fun.

After lunch we ventured out to the pool to do a little 4th of July crafting. 

Give Kal a paintbrush and he is happy for hours!

Our little canvas' turned out adorable.  We ended up hanging them on the pool house for the upcoming party.  Thanks for the craft idea Andrea!

 After crafts we went inside for a festive mani/pani session.  Jacey loves her aunt Kelley!

Then we started working on some of our sweet treats for the 4th party.

On Friday, we threw a great party!  I love all the families being together. 

After swimming and a delicious dinner the kids started fireworks.  Between poppers and the big stuff we made sure we got some group pictures.  I just love our festive clan!

Now onto the firecrackers...

 

To say they enjoyed it would be an understatement.

On Saturday morning we all got up and headed to Jakob's all-star baseball tournament.  It was so much fun to watch him!   

The little kids were beat and it was hot so between games we snuck in a nice long nap and another swim.

Jakob's last game didn't start until after 9pm.  It was nice and cool after a hot day.  The little kids ran and played and I had a blast watching Jakob pitch two innings.  It was so exhilarating to watch him.  He is a great athlete and I couldn't be more proud.

I hope your July fourth holiday was memorable as well.

Happy Birthday America!
