4th of July - I'm Back

Ok - this was more than a hyadis ?(sp) but at the prodding of a few special people in my life I am now going to try and do this again. I will start with the most recent as I am in no way trying to catch up since the last blog. If you want to know the inbetween stuff - call me - I am here :) .

We had a wonderful 4th of July. It started out with dinner with friends and a visit from my parents after some fun at the local splash pad with awesome friends. Then we went to the parade (as all good Beltonians do) and it was down home and wonderful. I love this town! We saw Mike drive the lotus and it was the highlight of the boy's parade - until they saw the HEB Buggy and then Dad was pushed aside for a larger than you can imagine engine powered shopping cart while chanting HEB - no where on this planet does it get better than this!!!! We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful display of good clean hillarious fun! We sat with friends and that was the icing on the cake. Then after mandatory naps we headed to the Rodeo - the boys had never been. While it was no masterpiece of performances, we had kick dirt in your face seats and that was awesome. We saw everything up close and the Kids were tickled to be so close. Thank's to UMHB we scored the seats as they were given to us and it was a huge blessing. Noah enjoyed the popcorn the most and Liam the blow up crocodile he was given as a freebee. We were exausted but had soooooooooooo much fun. One other thing happened this weekend, but that is for another post. Well - I have rambled enough. Here are some pics of the weekend. Enjoy - I am learning on the picture thing so please be patient with me.
