3rd of July FUN...

with cousins is always a good time!

We enjoyed a little Monkey Joe's and an Independence Parade. We don't see Titan and Ryker (Jason's bro's little guys) very often, so we were sure to squeeze in as much fun as possible while they were here visiting their grandmas.....

Morning of the 3rd...getting ready to take parade chairs over to the neighbors. It gets crowded and we wanted to be sure we had good seats for the show!

At Monkey Joe's...waiting on Ryker and Titan. 

This girl jumped right in....

Tay showing Ryker the way up....

Our one and only attempt at a group shot. Ryker wanted nothing to do with sitting and Tay wanted Titan to sit on her lap. Funny! Better luck next time!!!!

All ready and waiting for the parade!

Titan blowing bubbles. LOVE Ryker's expression in the background. He can't wait to blow bubble himself!

Waiving in hopes of scoring a little extra candy! Even Aunt Lori was getting into it!!! Fun!

Happy 3rd of July, Peanut!

Cuteness!

Love this pic! Titan joined on the action and it totally looks like the two little ones are scheming!!!

Capping off the night with a little weeny roasting and s'mores making. In the t-shirts they caught in the parade and all. Thanks, Daddy for getting the pit ready!!! A great night-cap on a great day!!!!

Thanks cousins for hanging with us for the day! It was a blast!!!! 

Little Miss Ty enjoyed...

her first "real" birthday party....not a family party, not a school party, but a REAL friend party. She's been talking about this moment ever since she first saw Trey head out the door with a birthday present for his friend in hand.

This is her big time and oh, was she soooo excited!

All ready...present in hand! 

Enjoying pizza at Monkey Joe's....

Posing with Monkey Joe....so cute even though the birthday girl didn't want to get in the pic. 

A few of the girls counting while Monkey Joe headed off to hide. They were all excited to figure out which bounce house he was hiding in....cute!

See, Miss Ty...I told you that you'd be heading to a "real" birthday party before you knew it! Glad you had a blast and here's to many more parties in your future!!!
