4th of July...

The first thing I wanted to do was get some pictures of the kids before
everyone was tired from swimming all day and being in the sun.
So we got everyone ready and left to go take some pictures.
I wanted to find a nice place to take some pictures, but
we couldn't find a place, so we went to the high school.
I knew I was going to have a hard time taking pictures of
them when the first one looked like this....

They didn't want to take pictures.

We took some under a tree and all I kept hearing
was the grass was damp and poking them.

I moved them to the steps and get faces like this.
(I didn't really like the steps because of the green doors and signs behind them)

I get three of them to kind of smile and still have one with her tongue out.

I do love this one. Ally kissed Aubrey all on her own.
(Still don't like the green pole and doors)

Then Ally gave Aubrey a hug a little to hard.

This was nicer!

Again Ally wasn't cooperating.

Finally she smiles and the other three
are looking at her like she's crazy!

I finally gave up and said I would have
to live with one of the pictures I took.

When we got back to my mom's I tried one more time ...

I think this is it!

Around 9:00 pm it was finally dark. Ashley and Bryce
went with my sister Heather to her friends house to
set off fireworks, it's legal in Las Vegas. Guy
bought some for us to do with Ally and Aubrey.

We gave them some sparklers.
They liked them but were scaring me.
I was afraid they were going to burn themselves.
They kept getting to close to their clothes.

Then we went into the front yard to watch Guy
set off some other ones in the street. I don't get
any pictures because Aubrey didn't like them and
wouldn't let me put her down. She had her face in
my shoulder and a death grip on my shirt.
After that we sat on the back porch and watched
everyone else's fireworks in the sky.
We had a nice 4th in Vegas.

Happy Wednesday☺

Aubrey...

Same night still....

Aubrey was eating grapes too and playing Peek-a-boo with my mom.

I wish I could get pictures with this kind of lighting at home.

Guy loves this one.

This is my favorite.

I love that I got her saying "boo"

I love how you can see the joy in her eyes.
They are so pretty and blue.

Ally eating grapes...

These are still from our Las Vegas trip...

After eating the Popsicles the girls ate some grapes.
Swimming makes Ally really hungry, but I don't
think I have seen so many different faces just to eat
one grape. I know she was being silly and I love them all.

This last one is my favorite.

I love the lighting behind her
and yes it was a new grape.

Happy Tuesday ☺

More From Our Trip....

As promised I'm posting more pictures from our trip.
These are from the same night as the last post. I will
have a couple more posts with pictures from that night.
When all the pictures are so cute it's hard to only pick
a couple so I decided to make a few posts instead.

What could be better on a hot summer night than....



Popsicles...

As you can tell they both loved their Popsicle.
And the clean up was easy...play in the pool again.

Until the next post...
Happy Friday ☺

Our Trip to Las Vegas

We went to Las Vegas for the 4th of July to visit my mom, step-dad and sister.
We had a great time visiting and hanging out by the pool.
These pictures are from Thursday evening, July 2nd.

All of the kids swimming.


Aubrey waving Hi!


Bryce about to throw the balls at everyone.


Everyone waiting for Bryce to throw the balls.


Aunt Heather & Ally

Bryce again!

Aubrey doing what she does best in the pool.

Aubrey holding "Nemo!"


Ashley chillin' on the steps.


Aubrey trying to get "Crush" out of the pool.

If you don't know who Nemo or Crush are
you should really watch Finding Nemo.
If you don't have it you should go for a ride in our
van because it has been playing 24/7 for months now.

I still have a lot more pictures I want to blog about
but this is it for now. I will try and blog more tomorrow.
I keep telling myself to blog but I don't seem to have time.
I will get more pictures up here then.

Happy Thursday ☺
