{4th of July 2012}

The 4th of July is my favorite holiday!!!  I love America!  

We had an awesome day!  It was so great to spend time with our family and the people that we love the most.

My wonderful kids, minus Derek, who was inside with his dad.   Love these people!!!!

Little Lily Pearl ready to go to the parade.  She was so excited!

Kylie in her Lightbox parade outfit, ready to dance & tumble.

Punkie P with Grandma Joan.  She loves her grandma!

Me with my mom and sister.  Love them!

Derek and his cousin Bryson, waiting for the parade to start.

Blake and Ethan.

Ky tumbling with Lightbox.  Go Lightbox!!!

Lily and her cousin Hallie.  They are so adorable together.  I love them in their red, white, and blue!

So precious!!!

Ky and her cute cousin Abby.  

My Jett.  If they gave out an award for the most patriotic, he would win!  I could not get enough of watching him.  He waved his flag and clapped through the whole parade.  He waved at the Veterans that came by and they waved back and he was thrilled.  I love this sweet little boy!

After the parade, we went home and did naptime.  Then we headed over to my parents for our traditional 4th of July barbeque.  I was so fun!  The kids had popsicles after dinner and played outside.

My grandpa Walt with Lily Pearl.  She adores him!  I'm so happy that we have him to celebrate with.

Me and my mama.  She is the funniest mom in the land and I love her.  We always have a good time together!

Later that night, we did our own firework show in the front yard.  We usually go to the fireworks, but I thought it would be fun to just hang out and do our own.  It was awesome!  Lily P did her first sparkler and Ethan got to help his dad light the fireworks.

I am so proud to be an American!!!!

{Our 10th Anniversary in Vegas}

Adrian and I celebrated our 10th anniversary on June 5th.  We wanted to go somewhere fun to celebrate but we could only go for a few days because we have so much going on with the kids and everything else. We decided to go to Vegas!  I love Las Vegas.  I love all of the different kinds of folks (and they are very different :) and I love the heat and the lights and sounds!

We left on the morning of our anniversary and flew down. My mom watched the kids and poor Jett was so sick.  Poor mom and poor Jett.  It was really hard for me to leave my little ones.

We stayed at Planet Hollywood, it is my favorite hotel on the strip. It was so fun!  It has awesome shopping and really great places to eat.

This was my view as I layed on a bed by the pool on part of the roof.

I love my Adrian so so so much!  He was made just for me.  I love that we have the same sense of humor and we are so silly together.  He is my favorite person EVER!

Us shopping.

Me at Ceasers Palace, another of my favorite places on the strip.

My hot honey!

Me in the at the Lily Bar and Lounge :)

Hanging out by the pool.  It was AMAZING!  It was an over 18 only pool with a D.J.  We rented a bed that was next to the pool, had a few pina coladas and just relaxed for hours.  Best day ever!

Good lookin man!!!!!

We had so much fun!  I am so happy to be married to my very bestest friend.  Ten years, six kids and three dogs later, we love each other more everyday!

{Summer!}

We are having an awesome summer!!!!  I am enjoying having my kids home and not having such a strict schedule.  I am still running like a crazy person, since Ky is doing summer dance and Blake made the Strikers soccer team. 

It is nice to have our days together.  We are spending A LOT of time outside in the sun and swimming.  :)

We never want summer to end!
