Happy Birthday America!!!

We started out our 4th of July festivities at Clint's work on the 3rd.  The Brigade did a 4 mile run in the morning and then his Company fed us breakfast.

 Really?  Can we get a decent picture please?

 On the morning of the 4th we headed to Belton, bright and early, to get a spot for the parade.  Morgan is waiting patiently for her hand delivered breakfast of McDonald's pancakes.

 More waiting :)

 So sleepy.  We were only 3 hours early for the parade.

 Playing monster trucks.

 Grayson was such a good boy through all the noise and heat!  Actually we were quite lucky.  It was only about 95 degrees.  It could have been way worse!

 Waiting for lunch at our favorite Mexican restaraunt!

 

 Checking out the petting zoo at the festival.



A Few Pictures from June

Morgan and Jackson ran the Race to Read again this year.  Here they are with BFF Bella and their new books!

I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it, but Morgan was selected to be on the dance team at her dance studio.  She has dance 4 days a week all summer long, and has been working very hard.  Here she is stretching during "parent observation week".  She will hopefully have her splits down by the end of summer break :)

Morgan was playing with my camera the other day and this is one of the pictures I found.  She really loves her baby brother.  I have a feeling they're going to be very close.

She really wanted Grayson to take a nap with her the other day.  She even let him snuggle with her precious Twinkle Toes pony.  Unfortunately, he never did fall asleep for her.

Grayson is 3 Months Old!!

Grayson is talking and smiling a lot these days.  He even laughed for us this week!  He is taking naps better during the day now and still sleeping very well at night (in his swing).  He absolutely loves people.  Especially his big brother and sister.  And they love him lots as well.  He is a little ray of sunshine beaming through our home.  He's constantly moving his legs.  And sometimes it looks like he's about to jump up and start running around with the older kids.
