The 4th of July 2010

Well I guess I should begin with the 3rd of July really! Because the 4th was on a Sunday, they had the parade for the 4th in The Woodlands on Saturday the 3rd! It was so fun! We had never been and were worried about the heat but the kids loved it. The heat was not too bad because it was earlier...I guess it was hot but it could have been much worse. The parade is full of local businesses, churches, nonprofit organizations, and military organizations with their floats and the kids LOVED the balloon man! They got to watch him make Colson a dog and Brooklyn a flower! We got to see a family of kids that I have taught in the past and that was fun to get a little special wave from them!

All ready for the fun to start!

He was so proud of his balloon dog!

Typical "girly" Brooklyn

We then celebrated Mimi's birthday with the Lewis clan when Poppi got off of work! We went to Cheddars to eat and my kids love it there! Their favorite thing to eat is their broccoli! Love it! Mimi got a Kohl's gift card from us because she is getting so skinny she needs new clothes! We had a great time at dinner and both kids were so good!

First grandchild of the family

Colson looks crazy here..HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIMI!

Some people think Colson looks like Poppi!

On the 4th of July we went to church and had a great day there! We have so much to be thankful for and are so blessed to live in the country we live in. It was very appropriate to give thanks and glory to God on such a patriotic day! We then went to the Kuhn's house and our friends the Heemers joined us there! The kids had a blast outside on the waterslide and the fireworks were enjoyed by all this year. This was the first year both of our kids were interested in them! Thank you for having us over Kuhn family and we had a great time with the Heemers! Can't wait until we get together again in September!!!
