Red White and Blue

I love the 4th of July. It is such a beautiful way of celebrating our country and the Men and Woman who have fought and died for our freedom. I have so much pride in this great country we live in, and I could not be more grateful. Thank you!

We went to Thanksgiving point for a fire work show with some friends. There was much fun to be had!!

A Carousel birthday for big girl!

It seems just yesterday I was blogging about her 3rd birthday, and it only seems a short while ago she was born. This getting old business is not good, time flies way much faster then I would like. I guess with that thought, we are meant to cherish every moment we can in our lives, because we will never have as many as we would like. I think to myself daily, just how much I wish I could slip some sort of stunt growth hormone into my kids drinks so that maybe they can stay the way the are....but that sounds horrible at the same time. The beauty in life is watching something/someone grow. I really have enjoyed watching my kids take their first scoot, crawl, walk, jump, cartwheel, their first tooth, their first tooth to loose, or ride their bikes for the first time with out training wheels. It is crazy how sometimes it feels like time is dragging on, and you look at your kids, and think they look pretty much the same. But when you actually take the time to reflect they are constantly growing, and seeing the change in them seems slow, but it is, actually, very very fast. I am so grateful for my beautiful kids, and to be their mother. There is no better gift in this world than to be a parent.
Yesterday we celebrated miss Sydney's 4th birthday. We went to the Hogle Zoo for her birthday. She loves loves loves horses, and carousels, so I decided what better gift then to take her to the zoo and ride the carousel. The kids had a ton of fun!

This girl has so much personality that we just can never get enough of.

She's 4!!
