Fourth of July at the Lakehouse

Fourth of July fell on a Wednesday this year so we were able to head out to Lake LBJ on Wednesday morning and stay through the weekend. It was so fun to be out there for several days in a row and the kids just had a blast playing with their cousins. This year there is a new tube and Alivia LOVES riding on it. We can pull it with the jet ski or the boat and Alivia wanted to be out on the water all the time. It is fun to watch how much her confidence has grown since learning how to swim well.

Happy Birthday America!

We set up this pool for John John but all the kids enjoyed it. Note that Will and Alivia still has their life vests on! Their Mama is a little overzealous about safety at the lake. :-)

John John wants to be in on the action all the time

We celebrated Em's birthday 2 weeks early since we would be gone on the 15th. I think it is cute that the Alivia and Avery are blowing the candles with her.

Attempt to get Mimi a photo with the grands. . . 

John was LONG gone at this point, but we at least got 4 of the 6

The Risingers - Mimi bought all the kids matching outfits - even Matthew had a matching shirt

Great shot of PT and Em

Proof that Matthew (4 1/2 months) was really there

Emily saw this cute idea for ice cream bars on a stick that you pressed in sprinkles - the kids loved them
