happy 4th of July!

We kicked off the 4th of July week with the Mustang firework show and SuperFreak concert! We saw them last year and they were awesome again this time! My sister and her new husband and our friend Sam joined us. It was lots of fun!

Then on the 4th we had hamburgers with my family at my parent's house, and then headed over to my cousin's house to celebrate Aden's 4th birthday! Lots of fun with family and friends!!

^^^such a wonderful birthday for a wonderful boy! He is definitely a little firecracker! We love him so much!^^^

You can read about last year's 4th of July here! I hope you all had a safe and fun time with your friends and family celebrating our wonderful country!

a sweet escape

Jeremy and I both had some extra time off of work for July 4th and so we randomly decided to take a drive to Dallas, do some shopping and eating, and just get away together. It was a short "trip" but just what we needed! We grabbed some donuts and hit the road! In Dallas we ate at some favorite spots, and did lots of shopping for little Mav.  H&M has the best little boy clothes ever.  He will be one stylin' dude. We were so excited when it rained most of the afternoon; we're suckers for a good rain and some reading and coffee in a bookstore. The perfect afternoon. I am so thankful that we were able to get away and just enjoy each other's company without life's normal distractions.  Here's a few pics from the trip...

to my sister on her wedding day

Today, my sister is getting married!! I can't believe how quickly these six months of planning and waiting have passed by.  I am so excited to watch her walk down the aisle to her best friend, and even more excited to see all that God has planned for their lives together.  In thinking about her wedding, these three songs keep playing back in my mind, and I wanted to share them...

^^^This ones for my dad, the best dad there is. He sang this song to us when we were little girls.  I can remember when it would get to the wedding part of the song, and thinking how that was so far away and would take forever to get here. Oh how my perspective has changed. That feels like just a few yesterdays ago... somedays it would be nice to go back to those days.  Dad, you did an amazing job raising two daughters who will always be daddy's girls! Thank you for always being such an active part of our lives, and trusting the Lord in giving us away to our husbands.  You have set the bar high. I love you so much!^^^

^^^Obviously, this song is for my mom-- the most selfless person I know. She has endlessly given of herself to plan two weddings, and make all of our dreams come true.  She always gives and never expects anything in return.  She showed us how to be strong independent women; yet, her unwavering love for my dad taught us to seek the right men to give our hearts to, and to faithfully do life with them.  We found two good men, and today as you watch Jenny walk down to her future, take pride in the fact that you had a huge part in us finding good men of character to spend the rest of our lives with.  Love you, mom!^^^

^^^And lastly, this one is for my sister.  It seems like just yesterday we were putting on our play makeup, dress up dresses, and using our pillows to be our big blue fans to sing this song for mom and dad. Can't believe by the end of the day we will both be married! Marriage is such a crazy wild ride, but it is also the best ride ever. I am so so happy for you! Always remember, "there were never such devoted sisters." I love you and will always be here cheering you and Isaac on.  Now go get married!!!^^^
