4th of July

We started our celebration a week early with the fireworks at our church. Lucky for us our Sunday school teacher is the one who shoots the fireworks. So our class got a front row seat for the action! We all went early and tailgated and had plenty to eat. The kids played and we had a blast. The fireworks were fantastic! I was worried about how the girls would do with the noise but it didn't bother them at all. Everyone loved them!
Everyone getting ready to go see the fireworks. Tanner just loves taking pictures these days :)

The fireworks were awesome!



The following Saturday we packed up and went to Oak Mountain "beach". It started off a little rocky but we ended up having a great time. Hayes swam all over that lake and the girls floated around and loved it. Tanner wasn't too sure about the lake but he got used to it and had fun.








We spent the 4th living it up in our redneck pool :) and had a ball!


Hayes loves going under with daddy




We had a great time celebrating and we are so thankful for all the men and women who have served our country.
Happy 4th everyone!

4 months in a nutshell

I am so behind on our blog. I like to think it is because I don't have time but I seem to have plenty of time to stalk facebook for good deals on clothes for the girls so that obviously isn't the problem :) I am going to try and catch up here instead of spend money! The last post I made was when the girls were 4 months old and now they are over 8 months so lots has happened. They are getting so big and full of personality. They are just so much fun. Delaney got her first 2 teeth a few weeks ago and is pulling up on everything. Baby sister Hadley still doesn't have any teeth and is quite content to just sit and play. She is not interested in crawling or pulling up which is just fine with me! I think Delaney is going to give me a heart attack. She pushes poor Hadley over and pulls her hair and gets on top of her. And she squeals the whole time. She is rotten! We put a pool in the backyard (yes I know it is redneck but we had to do something to beat the heat) and the boys are having a great time swimming. Hayes can go under and get his dive sticks and is actually swimming now. I am so proud of him! Tanner doesn't quite share his love for the water but he will jump off the ladder if I catch him and just likes to walk around the pool with his cars. Hadley also loves the water and loves to be in her float splashing around. Delaney isn't quite as sure about it but she likes to play if I hold her. I am going to try to do much better with the blog after today. So here is a condensed version of the last 4 months in pictures:
