July 4th and a trip to Aggieland!


I love the fourth of July!  Summer, swimming, red, white, and blue… there's so much to love!

I love anything with my kids' handprints or footprints on it, so I decided to make a little craft that I saw on another blog.  It was so easy and Reid had so much fun!  I know I will love bringing these flags out every year.  


One of my favorite things is seeing children dressed in patriotic clothes!  I just love it!  


We spent the day at Mumsie and Poppies' house eating burgers and homemade ice cream and swimming!  

Can you even handle the sweetness? 
Poor Reid has never seen real fireworks.  Next year we WILL do it!  We knew Georgia Kate wouldn't last if we tried to go watch fireworks, so we got some poppers and sparklers to do in my parents' backyard before we headed home.  Reid preferred to hold his unlit. ;)
Chris and Thomas enjoyed them. 

Today we decided to take a spontaneous day trip to College Station with the kids!  You never really know how things like this will go, but I'm happy to report that we had such a fun day!!  Chris has been stalking the new stadium online really excited about the new stadium, so after lunch at Blue Baker (my fave) that was our first stop!  We loaded the kids up in the double stroller and walked all around campus.  It was so much fun!  
 For those of you that are interested in this sort of thing, here is the student side...
 The new south end zone...
Here is what will be the largest scoreboard in college football...
 We had to take a picture of our precious little Aggie Band fan on the Quad.
Want to make yourself feel really old?  Take your children to the place you lived THIRTEEN YEARS ago.  


College Station really does feel like our home away from home.  We love going there and it was so fun to bring the kids!

Random June Pictures

Here are some random pictures from June that never made it on the blog!  

This was Peachy's last day of Little Gym.  We took the summer off and will start again in the Fall on one of Reid's preschool days.  

When I saw this picture, I couldn't get over how much she looked like Reid with a bow on!  Sometimes they look so different to me and other times they look so similar!  I think it's the facial expression!
        
Sometimes a girl just needs to roll up her seersucker dress, tuck it into her bloomers, and play some football!
       
Reid loves his scooter!  I just love his sweet little face!
We went to an indoor trampoline place last week and Reid loved it!
Georgia Kate had her arms up in the air on our whole walk!  It looked like she was on a roller coaster!
A morning, pajama selfie with my babies...
Oh, these two…

Baby girl before a birthday party last weekend...
She's starting to play with Annabelle and it's so cute to watch!
 Reid and I made alphabet soup during Georgia's morning nap a few days ago.  We put water, magnetic letters, sequins, glitter, and beads in a big pot.  It was such a mess, but he loved it and it kept him busy!  

I can't believe it will be July tomorrow!

Official Beach Pictures

Going into this trip I knew that I really wanted to take some "formal" pictures of the kids on the beach! I was trying not to set my expectations too high, but I was really hoping to get some great pictures!  My mom made Reid and Georgia Kate's beautiful outfits and I LOVE them!  Thank you, Mumsie!! :) Since I knew Reid wouldn't sit in the sand, we found this little wooden stool in the beach house and brought it down for him to sit on.  It worked perfectly and much to my surprise, both kids cooperated!  I am so happy with how the pictures turned out!  I am hoping to frame 3 pictures (one of each child individually and one of them together) and hang them by our stairs.
































I love these two beach babies so very much!
