Holiday Weekend....Per Jennie's Request! :-)

This Holiday weekend was a CRAY BUSY weekend for us! It started Friday Night with the Annual City Celebration! Free Dinner, Free Games for the Kids, and Fireworks! FUN FUN!!!

Saturday was so planned out and so busy I will just give you a quick time line and then follow with some pictures. Ready?

9:00 - 10:45ish Breakfast with my Family on my parents Front Lawn (Waffle Bar! YUMMY)
11:00 - 12:00 City Festivities again!
1:00 p.m. - 4:30 Lunch BBQ and Swimming with the Chapman side of the family
5:30 - 7:30 Dinner BBQ with the Nixon Side of the Family
8:00 - 11:00 Fireworks with the Chapman Side
11:50 Bed time! We were all pooped!


My Sister made my kids and her kids Parade Bags for all of their candy! GREAT IDEA!!

We ALWAYS get a family picture on the front lawn every 4th of July. Its tradition! :-)

Swimming was a blast! Uncle Dave was the coolest! This is twin A (not sure which one)


Twin B's Turn



And sweet, Daring Chesterific This kid is a fish...Running and jumping in the 9 ft. As long as he had his float tube and arm floaties.! And they never, ever came off!

NEVER!!
This little princess is TERRIFIED of the water and by the end she was floating around all by herself on this noodle. I was so proud of her!



Yes I am exhausted after 3 hours of swimming with 5 kids! And no I am not scowling....the sun was in my eyes!


This is at the BBQ with my family. Grady sat in my grandma's pond (aka dried up hole in the flower bed) and it looked cute because all you could see was his Little head!


I love this picture...Who needs a cone! He was SOO mad when I put the ice cream away!

And Finally time for Fireworks! We love our Babysitter Allie!
Haylee spent all night over on the other side of the blanket were all the girls were.
Kayden having fun with all the glow sticks i bought!
We really did have a super 4th of July! It was crazy but I love it! By far my most Favorite Holiday ever!!! Thanks families for a great two days! We love you all!
