Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July! We had such a fun day! Gregg and I realized that the last time we have actually watched fireworks was when we were dating! How sad is that!?! I think that's why this 4th just seemed so much more fun too because I was so anxious to see fireworks again! I felt like a little kid! Plus it was such a great day because we were able to spend it with family!
We all started the day off by going to church. I absolutely love church and feel so blessed that we live in a country where we are free to worship and have our own beliefs.
After church we all met at my parents house for a BBQ and swim. Everyone had so much fun! Hailee is our water girl, I swear, she must be part mermaid under her skin! She can swim for hours and hours if we let her! Grandpa is such a good sport by playing with Hailee in the "baby pool" (That's what she calls it)

While everyone was swimming, we were on baby duty.Gregg and Kip started busting out all of their moves on the diving board. I think we were having more fun watching and laughing and coming up with things for them to do!They decided to try their fancy acrobatic skills, and almost had a mid-air collision!Grandpa and Grandma with the grandgirls!Grandma had crafts ready for Hailee to work on while dinner was on the grillAfter the BBQ, we went over to Santana Park (but we ended up in the Von's parking lot) to watch the fireworks. We seriously ended up with the best spot! No one was in front of us and we were also close to bathrooms which was wonderful! (Hailee is now potty trained and glad we were close to a bathroom for her)Look at our handsome guy! Since they are my kids, I can say that they are seriously the most beautiful kids ever! Hailee and Jake! And Hailee seriously has the most amazing eyes and eye lashes! We are going to be in big trouble when it comes to dating years!I bought them matching 4th of July sweatshirts. It's so fun having two kids! I can now have them match (Or at least coordinate!) on special occasions!Hailee wasn't a fan of the fireworks. Well, she liked the actual firework, but not just the loud sounds it made. The family! Back tracking now....Gregg's Mom, sister Tara and her daughter Ellie came to visit the first weekend of June. We had such a great time with them! (These first few pictures are small and blurry, but I had to pull them off of facebook)


Hailee and Ellie. They were the bestest of friends for the whole weekend! It was non stop play!

On Monday, everyone went to Disneyland. Jake and I stayed home. He was just getting better after being sick for a week and I had a doctors appointment that day. But they had a BLAST at Disneyland! I don't think they even got home till close to 1am!


The girls enjoyed their bubble baths!We also went and did alot of shopping while they were in town. The last night we went to Souplantation for dinner. It was Jake's first time eating out and he did great! He slept almost the entire time!Ellie and Grandma Duh! (Tara was next to Grandma, but she didn't want to be in the picture)

We really enjoyed having them visit and look forward to seeing them in September!
