Happy 4th of July!!!

We had a great 4th! I had bought Grace a pool with a little slide at Wal-Mart at the beginning of the week just for the 4th. She had been looking at it in the box all week long. So, when she got up that morning the first words out of her mouth were "wanna go fimming"...so, thus began our day. Brad had also finished her new swing set, so we were all set for a wonderful day, and I had promised her she didn't have to take a nap that day which made it all soooo much better to her. Anyway, here is her new swing set...

I must say so myself that it is quite impressive. I wish I would have had one when I was little. If you can't tell by the picture it is three stories high with three swings, two slides, and a sandbox. A broken bone is sure to happen at some point. Here she is before she goes down the slide...

And she made it...

She absolutely loves the sand box...I think I have finally found something to wear her out so getting her to bed will not be such a nightmare...


Before swimming we took a break for lunch to eat some good ole' hot dogs...


And here she is swimming with Carter. He was like a big ole' white cloud out in the sun...

The swimming really wore him out too!!!

The fourth was really fun. Brad and Chris went to Mr. Taylor's to get fireworks and they only almost killed us all one time....Brad and Chris and fire just don't go together all that well! Anyway, hope ya'll all had a great fourth!
