Go America! It's Your Birthday!

We had a super fun 4th of July weekend! We are usually at the lake (Dale Hollow) for the weekend but my stepdad's family had a reunion here in town so we couldn't go this year.  Instead we packed the weekend full of events with family and friends! 

Friday we took our kids to gamble for the first time.  What a memorable moment......when we first let our kids bet on horses.  Before you freak out, we just let the oldest (7 years old) bet....that's better right?

Saturday we had a cookout at my house with a friend we haven't seen in A REALLY LONG TIME...years..decades....okay not decades, but years.  It was actually a group that brought Todd and I together, and how we met.  If I remember that at the time, I could have made a toast.  Okay, not really.

Sunday we went to Benny's 5th birthday party at a splash park.  The boys had a great time-they played a really fun alien game that Ben's family (Aunt, Uncle and Grandpa) dressed up as aliens.  AWESOME. Then friends of ours invited us to their culd-e-sac party.  Food, drinks, fireworks (LOTS of fireworks), friends.  Can't beat it!

Monday (the 4th) we went to the local minor league baseball game that ended in fireworks.  We went with a couple of friends and their families and camped out on the lawn. The kids played, the adults talked and enjoyed ice cold draft beer and we may have watched the game.  Wait, there was a game?

All around, the weekend rocked!  However, it took me days to get over so much activity...does that mean I am getting old? 

Don't you wish YOUR husband had this AWESOME outfit?  It was even better when he was bending over to put the pools together in the yard.  W-O-W

I wish Emily had made it into this picture a littele better, but here we are hanging together after seriously 6 years of seeing Ben. Good times.

Oh ya, I made Gigi and Claire matching dresses for 4th of July. 

Claire was cheering for the fireworks, it was great!

Ya, they weren't messing around when it came to fireworks.  They were there to play.

Another shot of Bear and her cute dress. Wonder who made that??

My babes at the game!
