Fourth of July Weekend

Our Fourth of July weekend started early...Thursday morning Maddy had tubes put in her ears. After we got home, you never would have known anything happened to her. She was running around playing and having fun.

Thursday evening Brandon and I went to the Winston Salem Dash minor league baseball game with Kyle, Stacey, Bailey and Tyler. After the game they had fireworks.

The next day we went to the mall and Maddy rode the carousel for the first time. You can see she isn't quite sure about it at first but as soon as it starts going around she realizes she loves it and she did not want to get off when the ride was over!

Later that night we went to Brandon's parents house for a cookout and Maddy played on the slide.

We went tubing down the New River in Virginia on Saturday and then went to the lake and road the boat to the firework show. Unfortunately, I didn't take my camera along that day...

Sunday night my parents brought Jake and Lilly home. They didn't get home until about 8:00 p.m. after stopping to buy new boots and hats. The first thing they had to do was go to the barn and saddle up the horses so they could both ride before they went to bed. We didn't get to see them until we went over there Monday night. Here are a few pictures of the kids.

I will definitely try to get more pictures of the kids over the next couple of weeks. You won't believe what a young man Jake has turned into!
