red, white, & blue weekend

The weekend’s weather couldn’t have been better. In fact, we were scrambling trying to find warmer clothes for the kids to wear for the morning parade on the 4th. A very cool 64* at 10am. It was unbelievable. The 4th of July = chilly & foggy. Chief & I kindof have a thing for ‘foggy mornings’. So we truly enjoyed the kick-off to what would be a great day!

With coffee in hand & a cardigan sweater ( got lucky to find one in the truck) I watched the parade. Well, I watched my kids watch the parade. The entire time it was going on…I was thinking 2 things:

1. Such a great “small town Americana type” day. Please let there be more for my kids to remember. Such a great feeling of pride.
2. Please Graham, do not run out in the road & get hit by who knows what. That boy, just wanted to be part of it ALL. Loved it.

This is my favorite photo of the weekend. I got the idea from my new favorite blog. I hope she doesn’t mind…I stole part of an idea from her. I think it turned out great.

See no evil, touch no evil, and ???

Hanging out on the porch at Tic Toc & Papaw’s house. We loved it!

Sitting together in my great grandfather’s chair – that he made. My mom was rocked in this chair when she was a baby. I love that the kids are as well.

Played hard = slept hard. (Of course, Madi is always by Big Bro. She l.o.v.e.s him so.) For the record, my parents have two cribs for the twins in their house. Where does this girl want to sleep??? You guessed it. On a bed. Pure rotten! But we love her!

We really had a great time. Enjoyed every minute of it. We miss you Tic Toc, Papaw, & Sis! We love you so much!
