My famous mom!!

So my family went to Red, white, and boom on July 3rd which is a big firework show they have in downtown columbus over the ohio river. My dad and brothers put a flag in my moms hair without her knowing so she was just walking around with it forever. And I guess this guy from the Columbus Dispatch was following her and taking lots of pictures of her hair and ended up putting them in the newspaper! Haha! My little brother Kyle is there too laughing at her in the shot. So funny! Sounds like they had a good holiday and we sure missed them! Isn't it so much harder to be away from your family when you have kids! I think so!

Happy 4th of July!!!

We started out celebrating on the third by driving down to Addison for their big firework show. It was awesome. We decided to get a hotel (free voucher) a few blocks away and it turned out to be the best thing ever!! We had a place to park our car and we just walked over and didn't have to sit in traffic forever! And it was seriously an awesome fireworks show! BB was kinda scared at first but Guy put his hands over his ears and somehow staring at the fireworks just lulled him to sleep! We were so surprised! On the 4th we just took it easy and hung out. Had a barbecue with my Aunt and Uncle and then went with them to fireworks in Plano. They had some really cool light up necklaces that BB loved way more than the fireworks!! He was fascinated with trying to put one side into the other to close the necklace. Ahh the little things that keep him happy! Lots of cities cancelled their fireworks yesterday because the weather showed it was supposed to rain, but it was a perfect night which was great. Now we'll get to go to some of the "rain date" fireworks later! Yay!!
