I haven't had a chance to post about our 4th of July so here is what we did. We went to the annual Roy 4th of July Party on July 3rd. They have amazing fireworks and they are right in front of you! It was fun, but Blake got very tired. He did have fun playing with the other kids there and eating lots of McLaren's cookies!
This is Blake with our friend's kids: Lily and Carter Trent and Ellis Martin.
Donnie and Blake playing with the sparklers!
It was fun having my mom at the party! I think she liked showing off her grandson to her friends! My mom, Blake and Sandy
One of my best friends, Brittany Martin, came into town from New Mexico with her daughters Ellis and Audrey and her husband Lane. It was so much fun spending time with them. Plus it gave Lane and Donnie a chance to get to know each other better. Saturday they went and played golf and hung out most of the day! The little boy in this picture is our friend Julie's. His name is Cason.
This picture was taken at the Edmond Parade on 4th of July. This picture is perfect for summer! My mom had taken Blake to the popsicle guy and Blake picked out this popsicle. He is getting so big! Blake loved the parade. It was all his favorite things! Motorcycles, fire trucks, and big trucks!
After the parade and nap, we went over to Brittany's parent's house and swam ALL afternoon and evening. We also enjoyed a picnic over there. Blake was SOOO tired after this busy weekend that we went home and put him to sleep. We had seen fireworks the night before, so it wasn't a real disappointment. We were all tired! It is weird to think that next 4th of July, Kenzie will almost be one!
