Harper Says

A couple of weeks ago, I told Josh I wanted to get a bike b/c he and Harper always went to ride them and I wanted to join in the fun.  So we loaded up the kids and after looking 3 places, we found the perfect one.

The next day, Harper and I rode bikes a nap time. A woman was walking the neighborhood and said "Wow, you ride your bike really well" (to Harper)
Harper: Thanks, it's my moms first day!
(beaming with pride -- for her mom!)

She makes me laugh.
Below is a few weeks later when we decided the boys needed to join us for a ride!

The Mall Carnival

We drive by the mall everyday going to school/work.

Harper had been begging to go to the Carnival, so on Friday, I loaded the kids and Josh met us there.

It was the boys first real adventure in riding rides...Gatlin was not a fan.

Harper LOVES rides

Houston seemed to enjoy himself

Bossy even made an appearance on the Carousel!

4th of July

This year, we had a low key 4th of july with some friends, the pool, and the boat. 

The fireworks were rained out...but I didn't mind b/c it was a school night.

Harper and Josh enjoyed them on the boat the day before!

We kicked off the long weekend with Red, White, and Blue day at school.

They made cakes in each class

Gatlin in Red and Houston in Blue 

After school, the boys got a haircut and everyone enjoyed the cake from their class!

On the 4th, we celebrated with some Mexican - go America! ha.

Memaw and Boppy met us there.

Later, we spent time at the pool and our friends, the Hicklens joined us!

We ended with a movie in the basement!
