4th of July weekend

We had so much fun this weekend...Ellie got to see fireworks for the first time and play with lots of family! Friday, we had a crew over to mom's. It was the 8 us, Gramma, Mother Kay, Granddaddy, Uncle Jim, Aunt Phyllis, Suzanna, Mike, Caroline, Linda, Brenda, and Aunt Annie. We had a packed house! We grilled out and watched the fireworks in my parents neighborhood. Ellie was not too keen on the noise of fireworks - but she really liked to watch them. We also took Ellie to the pool before the cookout on Friday - she had a blast as always!

Saturday we went to one of Ellie's friends 2nd birthday party. We had lots of fun catching up with neighbors and Ellie had fun playing.









Cole is still doing great...he is still sleeping a lot - but starting to be awake for longer periods of time. Today is his 2 week birthday - 2 weeks goes by a lot faster when you are not pregnant! Having two kids has kept me really busy - but we are having lots of fun! Sunday we had Jill's first wedding shower at her friend Lindseys house. It was a nice shower and Jill got lots of good kitchen things!

Ellie's position during the fireworks - so cute!
