Happy 4th!

I told Jake and Lucy they could stay up for the fireworks show we would be able to see from our backyard.  Here they are playing and setting up their viewing spot:

Since it would still be a little while before we could see the fireworks, we decided to put on a little show of our own:

 Jake could not have loved that anymore! Oh, and I can't forget to add Lucy's picture...

She made the online newspaper for the Greensboro News & Record for a picture that was taken while we attended the Fun Fourth festival this morning:

Such a great day!  Hope you all have had a wonderful 4th!!

Jake & Lucy

Jake & Lucy are too cute together.  They are really sweet to each other for the most part and have a very close bond!  Here they are singing & dancing in the rain...

Fun With Nanny

 We had so much fun with Nanny recently at the beach.  I didn't get many pictures (not even a single one of us by the water), but I did manage to get some of Jake riding his dune buggy while pulling Jason on his skateboard!  Oh, the things these two come up with...

Checking on the garden when we got back home:

19 Months Old

I thought I would include some pictures of Lucy at 19 months since I didn't get many when she turned 1 1/2 yrs old.  She was much more cooperative today, wasn't she?!  Very photogenic!

Nana & Papa's Trip

Nana and Papa have been in NC over the past 5 weeks, going back and forth between my sister's and our house.  It has been so nice to have an extended amount of time to visit!  Here are some pictures I took this past weekend when we joined them in Charlotte:

And one at the park near our house:

Thanks for coming to see us Nana & Papa, we had such a great time!  Sorry y'all were feeling run down while you were here.  Hopefully, we can figure out if it was allergies or sickness!  Love you!!!

Last Day

It was Jake's last day of school today.  It is hard to believe he will only have one more year of preschool!  Here is a picture of Jake with his class:

 Jake had such a great time in class this past school year.  He is really going to miss all of his buddies.  Hopefully, they will join him in Mother's Day Out this summer!  I found out Jake's artwork was among a select few that was chosen to be featured downtown for Youth Art Month this past March.  Below is a picture of his work that was displayed:

Fun in the Sun

The kiddos had a blast splashing around the water table today!
