The 4th + a great weekend

I thought I should share some pics of the holiday with y'all.  We didn't really do anything all that special.  Lonnie and I actually got no sleep the night before so we took turns taking a nap during the day...glory.

That evening we went to a get together at a friends house.  It was great fun but super hot.  Blakely had a great time playing with someone else's toys.  Apparently I need to buy her some maracas....she loved those!  She was a hit with everyone.  She smiled the whole time and just kept us all entertained.  There was supposed to be a fireworks show but we had to cancel that part of the party.  It has been so dry and we are under a burn ban so they banned all use of fireworks.  Boo...

This was actually the day before.  She, of course, had multiple outfits for the occasion so she wore red, white, and blue for days.  

Teeth!

This were on the actual 4th.  I forgot to take any pics at the actual party.  Something about zillions of kids running around trying to play with my child made me forget all about pictures!  

She loves to chew on her shoe!

 YAY!

This is her "I am so over pictures" look...

On Friday, we went to my mother in law's house about an hour away.  She has a fantastic pool and we love to just go hang out there.  She has a room set up just for Blakely...so sweet :)  We played at the pool all Friday afternoon. 

Friday night Bob (MIL) had plans to go to the theater with some friends.  Lonnie, B and I just hung out.

She was a little unsure about the hardwood floors...

Not for long though...

She explored Nana Bob's whole house and pulled up on everything she could find.  We could not take our eyes off of her for one second!

Yes, I know.  Cutest diaper ever...

I wanna go back outside!

On Saturday morning we had really great intentions to go to the F.armers M.arket.  But we didn't.  Lonnie and I didn't feel all that great...maybe a little hungover?  We were also up most of the night because B sleeps terrible.  So we lounged most of the day and Bob watched B while we napped.  

We also did a little napping like this....She is SUCH a snuggle bug these days!

We were supposed to go to my friend's 30th birthday party but we didn't make it.  We still didn't feel all that great and just wanted to lounge around the house with Blakely.  Bob made us her wonderful chicken soup...yums!

That evening we went swimming.  Blakely LOVED that.  NO sunscreen, bathing suit or shades??  YAY!  

That wore her out pretty good so then we all went to bed.  Once again, she didn't sleep great and then decided to be UPFORTHEDAY at 6 am...joy.  Blake and I let everyone else sleep in and we played in Collier and Syble's room with all of their fun toys.  

We did a little shopping for luggage and then had lunch before we left town.  We ate at a place called S.tar of Ind.ia and I can't even tell you how yummy it was.  I heart Indian food...

We were all happy to be home and enjoy our Sunday night together.  Blakely even broke out the beer...  :)
