Let me start by saying I was a MAJOR SLACKER when it came to taking pictures 4th of July weekend. These are the only ones I got! I am 100% in the exhausted pregnancy stage right now and holding a camera is just too much effort. I'm hoping this will pass when I'm finished with my first trimester in a couple of weeks!!
We had a fun 4th~ Thurs. night we went to the Square for the balloon kick off- the kids had fun helping put a banner on a hot air balloon and running and playing. Saturday night Nana came up and went with us to the Lampkin's 4th of July Bash at Lake Caroline. Amy and Michael were in town which was extra special. There was a ton of food and Pepaw took us out on the pontoon boat to see the fireworks. I promise to take more pics when we go visit Amy and Michael in Kansas City in a couple of weeks! Happy Birthday America!

Happy 100th Birthday
My Grandmother Maggie was one of 9 children. The only one left is my Aunt Ernie who just celebrated her 100th birthday! She still lives by herself~ remarkable! We enjoyed her birthday bash in Collins and seeing relatives I hadn't seen in years.
This is the first summer we've gone to Destin, just the 4 of us! We had so much fun! The weather was perfect and the kids were too! We had fun at the beach, the pool, went to the Gulfarium, Destin Commons, crabbing, and ate way too much!
We finished our summer lessons with Ms. Lu! She's in her mid 70s and still teaching. Sara Kennedy really did great~ she's learning all the different strokes and is a fantastic little swimmer! Cooper did good with some fussing in between. But, by vacation Cooper was swimming like a little fish! I have to really watch him, he's our daredevil! We didn't know it, but Steph and the girls were in our class. It was a fun two weeks!
Kim, Mrs. Bobbie, Mom, and I took the kids to the Safari in New Delhi, LA. It really was a lot of fun! You can drive your car through or take the "trolley". I opted not to get my Suburban scratched up by horns and antlers and we took the trolley. It was a fun day.
We had our Magee High School Class Reunion a few weeks ago. We had a fairly large class, but alot of people couldn't make it. It was so much fun getting to see some of my old friends again!
