4th of July!

So, before I start telling what a great 4th weekend it was, I quick have to show you what McKell learned to do this week.......

Yes! She is standing! I cannot believe it! She will stand against ANYTHING she can! 

First crawling, then sitting, now standing! What a big girl! She is so proud of herself as you can clearly tell! : )

She is also saying ma-ma all the time and whenever people are leaving and say bye-bye, she will say it back! She loves telling people bye-bye! : )

This face melts my heart! 

So.... 4th of July! 

The 4th was such a nice day! Not to hot, a little humid, and just about perfect parade weather! The day before the 4th, I had just remembered that I totally forgot about a red, white and blue outfit for McKell! I was feeling like the crappiest mom ever! It is her first 4th and I didn't even have a festive outfit for her! In all my stress, I remembered about a blue and white dress that my Aunt Diana got her in Texas, score!!! Then my faithful friend Savannah, had a adorable red and white headband! Hooray! It all worked out! So we got all dressed and headed to the parade with Caleb and Heather, then Mom, Wes and Kat met us there.

The tractors were just moving much to slow it put her right to sleep! : ) 

Me and Mom got all confused on where we were going to meet to watch the parade, so they finally found us when it was almost over, but oh well! : )

The ever so lovely Heather and Caleb! 

After the parade we had a lunch with Clint's family. It was very tasty! McKell got to play with her cousin Nathan and show everybody her stuff! We had lots of fun!

Chewing on the festive lights! 

After we got back home, we decided to go check out Dominick's new pool he so kindly is sharing with the family! McKell loves the water, she has since she was born! She loved it!

Ok, maybe it doesn't look like it in this picture, but she really does love it! 

She is always pounding her hands, and has a love/hate relationship with splashing! 

Doreen had these fun frog toys that she just adored! Green is her favorite color! 

It was a great 4th that we were able to spend with Clint's family!

We were debating on whether to go to the fireworks or not, but McKell was so tired we just decided to put her to bed! But, out our side windows we could see the fireworks (they looked like fireflies popping) and the lightning storm. It was a beautiful night.
