IT'S INDEPENDENCE DAY!

GOD BLESS THE U.S.A!

And it is NOT the 4th without starting the day off with BREAKFAST.
This year we had a delicious homemade one by grandma Ralphs!

Aunt Jaimie Lynn made all the kids these darling Independence Day Hats!

Next event, to follow tradition:
a 4th of July Parade!

this year with matching hats and bags:)

Rylee and her favorite baby niece, Tylee!

Then, the days' activities continue with a BBQ & Swimming at Grandpa Corey's...
and to top it off, Fireworks with the Smith's! So much fun.
*We LOVE the 4th of July!*

And here is cute little Miss Independence herself.

Summer Swimming!

WE LOVE SWIMMING!!!!!!

My Little Fishy's...

Both are SO very brave,
and SUCH great swimmers for their age!

We spent A LOT of time UNDER WATER this summer...

Poolside Fun with Cousins

Catchin some 'rays at the Roy Pool...

doesn't get much better than soakin up the sun with friends:

Cherry Hill, ALWAYS a hit!

Sisters in the Sun!


The Dragon slide is so much fun with these big girls!
They are big enough to go down by themselves now...

Rylee prefers to go with Mom,
& not surprisingly, Milly likes to go down by herself, or with Molly!


After Swimming, we can't forget to stop for a big ice cream cone on our way out!
A perfect way to end a swim day...

Oooh Baby, Lookin' Cool...

Our visit to the great NW...

Me & the girls went with Daddy on his business trip & met up with cousins!

Evi loved having her cousins there to MATCH with her every second of the day, and night:) Rylee asked why she always wants to be twinners, and Evi simply replied: "Because Cousins Always MATCH!"

Evi was so excited to have her cousins sleep over in her new room!
They started the night with a SUPER-duper-SUDZY bubble BATH.
These bubbles kept on growing, and growing and GROWING, as our girls grew smaller and smaller...

Our slumber party continued, with matching jammies and pedi's:

Then side by side snuggled in Evi's new bed:

New Jammies, matching from bed-head...

down to their TOES!

As for the Boys... they enjoyed flying airplanes with uncle steve and playing video games and talkin sports.

The BIGGEST talk was Jadon and his big decision to NOT play in the first All-Stars baseball game on SUNDAY! What a great decision, and a great example.

However, we couldn't let this special day go by without driving around in the BEST DECORATED car in TOWN to show off our Marysville Nat'l All-Stars SPIRIT!

(you should have seen Matt pacing all day... it was worth the visit)

What Great Fun!

LaGOoN...
