Happy 4th of July

We had a great day celebrating at home this year with just our family. This was the first time doing fireworks at our house, and what a great view we had to watch everyone else's fireworks after doing our own. Jerome had to go to work, so we cancelled going to a 4th of July party that we would have to leave from before it got dark. We quickly stopped at the market for our own bbq fixings and bought some fireworks. Jackson and Jordan both loved all the fireworks and enjoyed the sparklers the best. We all didn't go to sleep until after 11 because our neighbors put on their own "million dollar" illegal firework show that rattled our windows! It was definitely a night to remember!
Watching all the fireworks from the roof of our car!
The only festive thing I did this year...chocolate covered strawberries

Summer Fun at Reunion Trails

Our Summer Fun group met up even though it was a holiday. We tried the new Reunion Trails park in Henderson and it was so fun. All the new modern equipment was fun for the kids to play on. The splash pads were over-the-top!
After playing we went to the mall with the Ginnetts and the Stewarts for lunch at Red Robin. The kids were hungry after playing so their food was gone in a flash...which meant dessert at Auntie Anne's. What a great day.

Getting Ready

Our surprise gender baby will at least have a cute and cozy area to come home to in a couple months. Since we don't know what we are having, we chose a gender neutral design that could go for both. I am not a fan of the yellows and greens so I found this gray and white that was perfect. The baby will be in our room for the first few months and our master bedroom is huge..so everything fits perfectly. Can't wait until we have a new little baby in this crib.
