Happy Fourth!!

There are a LOT of pictures on here, but I needed to catch up! First, we are trying out the sippy cup. I just put water in it because the contents of the cup end up all over my kitchen, and water is much easier to clean up than juice. Here is Rylie doing it the right way... And here is Sadie's version of drinking from a sippy cup...
Here we are at the softball field getting ready to watch Daddy and Uncle Russ play ball.

We went to eat at Joe's Crab Shack, and here is our sweet Sadie in her July 4th outfit...

Here I am with my little Rylie Jean...

My July 4th dessert...and yes, I was VERY proud of it. :) I took more pictures of it than I do of my children. ;)

Popping fireworks with Nanny, Papa, and Jonas. The girls were a little scared, but next year, they will be helping Jonas pop them. This was their SECOND July 4th. Can you believe they are that old????
Papa's sweet girls...

Nathan and his mama...What do you think Sadie is going for??? Yes, it's the pacifier in Nathan's hand.
Jonas lighting a fuse...He was SO excited to pop the fireworks. We love him!!

Uncle Wade showing his awe at the colorful nighttime display...Uncle Wade's a little goofy. ;)

Nanny and Papa with the sleepy little babies....

Aunt Lissie and SWEET Savannah...Savannah was not scared at all during the fireworks. She just snuggled right up to her mama. It was precious! Look at Wade in the background.....
Me and my Wadie Boy.....I could not have a better brother-in-law!!!!

The sweetest niece in America. She has the prettiest little blue eyes, and she is so curious. GREAT head control. Hard to believe that she is almost two months. Kids sure do make time FLY by.
The girls have hearing appointments in the morning. It's a follow up visit since they were preemies. I think I'm going to tell the doctor that they can hear everything but the word no. :)
We had a great church service yesterday. Our life group leader, Eric Johnson, does an amazing job of laying out God's word and using it to challenge our hearts. He always makes me think, and I'm SO excited about all we learning. We are studying the book of Phillipians right now, and it's so rich with truth and life and hope. If anybody is in the area and does not have a church home, let me know. I promise you won't be disappointed. This group of believers is just another blessing from our Lord. We love you guys!
Have a great week our dear friends!
