4th of July

We headed to the river house Saturday to celebrate America's birthday the southern way-on the water. The whole crew spent the night Sunday which was Chaotic, memorable. There was tons of food, lots of sun, and a few naps on the boat. And did I mention 5 kids under 5???

Dayday in his Patriotic best. We wanted a group photo, but that wasnt happening.

Ivy made some festive cupcakes...

We had a yummy bbq on Sunday. Uncle Ben even came down for the afternoon.

Coleby sampling some of his Mommy's cookies

McQueen cup-check, McQueen lifejacket-check....

At one point, all 5 of the

"big kids" were asleep on the boat!

Our last ride of the weekend.  What a gorgeous day.

Avery is such a little fish this year! So proud of her.

Dayday likes to swim, but Mommy or Daddy have to be nearby.

And we call this one little tadpole. Josh throws him in the air, he goes under, and comes up grinning. Future river rat.

The girls.  Mattie is just precious. She gives me baby fever everytime I hold her. Must resist.

We ended the weekend watching the Fireworks at the high school. I grew up doing this so its neat to be back home bringing my kids to watch them.
