They had a great time!
My dream hunk and me!
Love my babies!!
Jackson loves pushing his big sissy on his dump truck!
It's her new favorite toy!
First, he opens the door until the lock catches itself, then he puts his other little hand inside the door and unlatches the lock.
Success!
"Mommy, I opened the cabinet! Do you want me to get anything out for you?"
Jackson grinned from ear to ear the entire time we were swinging!
Sarah had a blast playing too! She and I even did the teeter-tooter and see-saw together!
Then, I went ahead and popped Big J into the tub for a bath, we changed clothes, (even though we were outside at 9, we still got hot!), and went to the library. This is Sarah's favorite place to visit during the summer!
Once we came home, Jack had a big cup of milk, then went down for his nap. While he was sleeping, Sarah and I baked cookies. (Luckily, the mixer and the vacuum don't bother Bubs at all while he's napping!)
A few minutes after this picture was taken, the mixer started smoking and died! Bryan's mom bought us that mixer when we got married, and I've used it hundreds of times since then! I was so sad! I've already bought a new one! : )
After the homemade oreos were cooled and assembled, Sarah had to try one! She said, "love at first bite" after tasting it!
Then, she started reading one of her library books. Is she not the most adorable little book worm?!
Once Jackson got up and had his lunch, we started play time! He loves riding around in his car and pushing his dump truck!
Jackson also loves playing with all of his toys, banging on his pots and pans, and reading his books!
Then, Daddy came home! Play time stops momentarily and hugs and kisses begin!
Jack has been walking the majority of the time lately. He will still get down and crawl if he wants to get to someone or something really fast, but otherwise, he just walks!
After dinner and tucking the little man into bed, Sarah, Daddy, and I played Pictionary. We had so much fun! Sarah was really good at doing the drawing too--for "bermuda shorts" she drew the Bermuda Triangle and a long pair of shorts!!
The open pit! Yum!!
We loved all of the food, but we still think Bryan's dad makes the best brisket we've ever had!
Their ribs, however, were amazingly perfect!
Our table--covered with food!
Jackson and Sarah.
Jack really wanted to play with the boot!
Yep, this is the third picture in a row where he's not looking at the camera! He's still so cute though!
And before our drive back, Daddy had to throw Jack in the air a few times!
Jackson was so excited to see his new toy after nap time!
Thanks, Aunt Rachel and Uncle Gus!
A football--complete with drool!
Although it's hard to tell from the picture, this one's a dinosaur. He was too busy playing this morning to be bothered with a picture!
I love this sweet little face!
He climbed into the chair all by himself! He was so proud!
This morning, instead of our normal jog, Sarah wanted to wear her roller blades instead!
And Jackson was just enjoying it all!
And you have to have sweet tea in mason jars!
Sarah made this flag out of fruit and marshmallows!
The healthy stuff! Jack loves blueberries, so he ate a lot of these!
Patriotic strawberries...still healthy, right?!
Chocolate covered pretzels and the red and blue M&M's I didn't use for Jackson's party!
And the cupcakes we make every 4th...
red, white, and blue!
A couple of months ago, I got Sarah this dress, and it came with one for her doll too! She loved it!
Picnic outside!
Bubs loved the flags!
So cute!
I love this one!
Papa Bear and Sarah Bear
Hope y'all had a great 4th!
