Another great 4th in HB!

This 4th of July we had a great surprise. One of my favorite cousins, Kelli, and her family came to visit us!

Sam and Reagan are a month a part and I wanted to see how close they are in height. I wanted to compare her to someone tall and since his brother who is 12 is already 6'1" I figured Sam was a good comparison. So as you can see, to no surprise Reagan is going to be tall....lucky girl!

We unfortunately had to miss the parade and the 5k run this year but there was still plenty of fun to be had. Since they close all the streets for the parade we had to bike it to church. We got a few strange looks but the kids loved seeing all the festivities as we rode by.

BBQ, horseshoes, street football, plenty of kid toys, and fireworks at the Ebmeyer's!











After fireworks at our house we all walked to the beach and watch the city fireworks extravaganza and again, it didn't disappoint!

Time for popcorn

Jude and Easton

"Time for popcorn!" has got to be the sentence my kids love most. I sware they asked me about ten times for popcorn today so when the time finally came, they were in heaven!

Bed time stories with Daddy

We were at the "spinner park" and Easton and Brin were sitting on this rock together. They were so cute sitting here together but I just kept laughing bc EZ wouldn't let me put his hat on right. Every time I did he would pull it down like this like he was "too cool". He does the same thing when I put a hoodie on him. He always pulls it down over his eyes. He can't even see but I guess you have to make some sacrafices to be cool.

Is this not what summer is all about?.....sitting on the lawn after dinner and enjoying the evening with some summer treats!

Tennis Anyone?

Reagan started a tennis class this summer. Here she is at her first lesson.

Bubba goes with us and helps us get the balls. He loves it!

Reagan's first day of "real" preschool

We woke up this morning and saw this sitting on the table. Brock leaves for work before we wake up and so I guess he got up extra early this morning to run over to the donut shop and pick out this special treat for Reagan's first day of preschool. Daddy you rock!

On our way to preschool this morning Reagan said, "Mom, sometimes I get shy when I don't know people can you say hi to my teacher for me?" (that means that she wanted me to introduce her) so I said sure and then told her that we would stay as long as she wanted until she felt okay to be left by herself. Ten minutes into class Reagan "whispers" back to me from the front of her classroom where they were doing story time "I'm okay mom! You can leave now and then blows me a kiss" I about melted and didn't want to leave but rushed out so I wouldn't cramp her style.

Happy Father's Day to the greatest Daddy EVER!

Thanks Daddy for all the FUN!!! We love you! EZ & Reagan
