24th Of July

The Monroe Parade has always been a great way for us to celebrate the 24th of July.  These girls are always able to come home with a ton of candy and small town parades really are so charming and hilarious all at the same time!

 Travis was on Search and Rescue Duty so we had to block off a street, but it turned out to be an awesome street with plenty of room around us so it was a win - win.
Image

Our little Kya cutie waved to every single parade participant.  I love this sweet little girl.
Image

Brielle and Tay were so hasty in their candy grabbing that it didn't take too long before they looked completely disheveled!  It was great!

Our Favorite Seasonal Pasttime

What's better than going to Grandma and Grandpa's to jump in their pool on a hot summer day, you ask?  Well, I don't know actually.  So we'll stick with that.  We LOVE this!
Image

These girls always plan to jump in at the same time, but Kya has to be a little show off and have a late entrance!

Image

The older girls have really become awesome little swimmers!
Image

Pretty sure Grandpa put her floaties on this time!

Brielle has done AWESOME with trying things that she's scared of.  She's tried really hard and I LOVE it!

The girls love the "mermaid game".

Brielle and Travis spent a lot of time working on her skills to be able to dive down to get the diving stick....
Image

Image

 And she did it!!
Image

Image

Taylee tried and tried as well, but she just naturally floats and try as she might, she couldn't get much further than this point!

Randy has always been a fun uncle to these girls:

Brielle was so proud to show her knew diving skills all by herself to Grandma and Grandpa:

She totally deserved a little pampering!
