Happy 4th Y'all!

We started out our morning with the Lakewood Parade!

Ready to roll!

Waiting patiently for the parade to start!

It was pretty hot

The Stonewall Jackson "float"

Loved seeing our friends in the parade!

Love that basically everyone had either OurVillageJewelry or Swag Designs earrings on! Loved all the 4th of July options!!!

I am wearing these:

Check out: OurVillageJewelry for more designs!

Checking out their loot...

Ready for lunch!

We headed over to Matt's El Rancho for some Tex-Mex

Then up to Lakewood to continue out July 4th festivities!

Cotton candy for all.

Sweet girl!

And lastly, a little Martha Washington for your July4th celebration...brought to you by me....and a frozen deep eddy ;)

It was a tough decision but we decided to skip the fireworks this year - probably the last year we can get away with doing that.  

And as for our usual July 4th celebration at the Terry's - well this year was a little crazy with our beach vacation falling the week before...and then July 4th falling on a Tuesday. BUT we did make an appearance - we drove down to Cedar Creek on Sunday to hang out with everyone. Always a good time - wish we had more!

Another great holiday in the books! 

Happy 4th of July!

Hope everyone had a wonderful & safe 4th yesterday!

We had a wonderful day celebrating with friends!

First off we headed over to a friends house on Lakewood Blvd to watch the Lakewood parade. Wanted to bring something festive for the party so after perusing Pinterest I decided some chocolate covered pretzels would do the trick. They were a hit with the kiddos! Yay!

The parade was great - all the little kids really seemed to enjoy. It was amazing that they ALL actually sat down and watched it!!! It lasted a good 30-45 min...that's pretty amazing if you ask me!

Ryan and Truly checking out the parade

Yay! Someone threw us some candy!

Henry & Ryan watching the parade

And watching with mommy!

After the parade all the kids gathered and they took a group shot...I am sure you can imagine how devastated I was to hear this happened while I was in the bathroom!!! Well, at least Ryan made it in the picture - so  I am now just waiting on one of the mommies to send me a pic. 

For party # 2 we headed out to the Offer's house. Ryan had a blast swimming with Parker & Megan and even took a nice long nap so mommy and daddy could enjoy some pool time. 

After nap time Ryan was ready to play again - here he is with Colin & Linds. 

And we had matching swimsuits on...although you can't really see here. Gotta love Target swimsuits!!!

Up and out since 9am made for a very tired mommy and daddy - we were beat! Hope everyone had a fabulous JULY 4TH too!!!
