Boating Day

Yesterday we rented 2 pontoon boats and a tube with some of our good friends from our neighborhood. We figured it would be a great day to end the kids summer vacation. Below is Braden with our neighbor Colin.

Caitlin is so excited to go out on the boat!

She loved to have the wind blow through her hair.

Caroline's First Birthday

Today we went to Birmingham to celebrate Caroline Morelli's first birthday. The kids were so excited to go and play with Connor and Caroline.

Uncle Bryan set up a bunch of water activities for the kids. They loved the slip-n-slide.

B had a great time playing.

Caitlin trying to dodge the water coming from the sprinkler.

Connor just laughing, he is such a happy kid!

Miss Caroline, a beautiful little girl!

Someone brought a bubble machine, so much easier than blowing them Braden realized!

Caroline getting into her smash cake. She liked it!

Connor eating his cake, very clean you will notice.

Happy First Birthday Caroline, we love you!

Happy Fourth of July

Every year we go to downtown Woodstock to see the parade. The kids look forward to it. My good friend Sarah made both kids tshirts for the fourth. They loved them!

My kids and the Black kids. They grew up together, and still feel very close. Ethan is such a good kid, Brendan is just trouble!

Caitlin with her friends from dance, Jessica and Jenna. They took dance together the last two years and when we showed up they were across the street from us!

The boys!

Again, the boys!

Fourth Celebration

Every year we go up to my parents club in Cartersville to celebrate the fourth. This year it was actually on July 2nd. They have things for the kids to do then we all sit on the 18th green and watch sky divers. At the end of the night we see the fireworks, which they do a great job at. So much nicer than fighting crowds!

We were one of the firsts to arrive so the kids got right on the rides. Caitlin wanted to do this, Braden did not. She quickly figured out how to do flips on it.

They had a train that took the kids around the greens. Our kids stayed on it for multiple trips.

Braden got Daddy to ride with him.

The Rego's were with us again this year. The kids love being together. Emily is like a mommy and takes care of the kids.

The boys!

Braden chilling.

Emily and Uncle Brett.

Emily said all she had to do was give Uncle Brett the sad eyes and he picked her up! Sucker!

Caitlin ad Uncle Brett.

Braden finally decided to try it and he loved it! (notice the tongue!)

Getting ready to jump!

Having a break eating something cold.
