Not sure if I'm the only one, but I can not believe it's July already... the 6th at that! We had a wonderful holiday weekend. Nate had a four day weekend, which was a great way to ease back into work. On Saturday we went to Emerald Isle again. We bought some new vibram five fingers, which are AMAZING and headed for a run along the beach.
After the run, we (of course) took the kids for a swim.
Gunner loves his new swim vest (so much easier to play around than with water wings).
Baxter even tagged along, as most beaches out here are dog friendly as long as they're on a leash. Although Baxter hates the ocean, he had fun on the run and laying in the sand.
Sunday we went to church and then just hung around the house. I love watching the kids play. Gunner lined his trucks up on the train track (so meticulously).
And when that got old, he went for a jump on the couch (which he thinks is his own trampoline). I do love the action shot I was able to catch.
Grace is getting all over the house now that she's an expert crawler. I even made her a cute Fourth of July bow to sport all weekend.
On Monday we got the best Fourth of July present, Grandma Oettel came to town!! Although I don't have many pictures of her. We took the kids to base for their festivities. Gunner had a blast on all the blow up things (bounce houses, blow up slides, obstacle courses...) and the best part FUNNEL CAKE. If you notice he's covered in powdered sugar.
Grace was having fun playing in the grass and people watching. I tried a million times to get a picture of her teeth (both bottom ones popped through). This is the best I could get though....
We didn't dare risk the fireworks with Grace, plus both kids were tired and it was only 7:00. Tuesday we had fun at the park with Grandma (I even snuck in a picture of her).
And the park definitely makes me realize how big Gunner is getting. He climbed it all alone (all while giving Grandma a heart attack). :)
And Grace did her usual napping, but I love the sleeping shots.
I'll try to take lots of pictures this week while Grandma Oettel is visiting, but no promises. :) Hope everyone had a safe and wonderful holiday weekend.
Aw, seeing the pictures of Gunner makes me really miss you guys - he and Vince are in to so many of the same things! They would be such good buddies if we still lived close.
