Happy 4th of July!!

We had such a nice relaxing 4th of July spent with sweet friends!

Our celebration started out participating in the country club's 4th of July parade with our friends, The Luckadoo's. We decorated the boys bike's and headed over to the parade. The boys had a blast!! After the parade we headed over to the pool for some major fun!

Walker and Grady!

Walker, Grady and Ella

Walker thought the parade was awesome, especially when everyone started clapping:)

Patiently waiting for our friends to arrive so we could get the fireworks started.

Getting the fireworks started with sparklers!!

They loved the fountains!!

Watching Daddy and Luck light the fireworks!

These fireworks are LOUD!!

What's that you say, Ella?

They loved running through the smoke!

After fireworks at our house we headed over to watch the neighborhood fireworks. 

It was a super fun day of celebrating America!! 

We got back home around 10pm and we were ALL ready for bed:)

UNCW Swim School!

Walker attended his second year of UNCW swim school in June. 

UNCW swim school is so awesome and has really helped Walker become a better swimmer. He's such a little fish these days and absolutely LOVES the water. He is so confident in the water. The best part is he doesn't need to wear a flotation device any more!!! We are so proud of him!!

Also, a very special thank you to Moppy who took him to swim school every day the first week and Jules and Pops who took him every day the second week. Without y'all we wouldn't have been able to do it!!  Walker was spoiled rotten for two weeks straight!!

He looks so excited doesn't he....LOL!!!

I will say the pool is absolutely freezing:( and I don't blame him for not looking excited!!

Sitting with his instructors and his class. 

Molly and Stephanie were awesome!!

And their off........

I was such a proud Mommy watching him swim without any help!

He did so awesome swimming....I wanted to run down to the pool deck and give him a giant hug and high fives all over the place for trying so hard!!!!!! Way to go DUDE!!!!!!

Stephanie and Molly trying to teach the kids how to swim using their arms!

Warming up kicking their legs!

Walker's treat after swim school is walking over to Daddy's office to make sure he's working hard:)

Move over Daddy it's my time to raise some money:):)

Busy month of June!!

Boy did we have a very busy month of June! I feel like we celebrated Walker's birthday the entire month.  It was such a fun month with lots of visitors. Starting out with our sweet friends Brian, Megan and Lillie then Kathleen, Alicia and Zuri. Moppy came for a week and then Jules and Pops came for a week. We had a blast celebrating our sweet dude.  It's just so hard to believe he's already the BIG 4!! I've started to slack on taking photos, but I promise I'm trying to get back to my old self again taking a million photos:)

Such a sweet family!! 

Thank you guys for celebrating such a special weekend with us. 

It would not have been the same without you!!

Little Miss Lillie!!

Double Trouble!!

Poor Lillie was caught in the crossfire:(

I'm sad I didn't take hardly any pictures during Zuri, Alicia and Kathleen's visit.
I did snap this one when Walker, Zuri, Grady and Asher were having a picnic dinner outside.
Thank you guys for coming and visiting us. We love you and can't wait to see you again soon!!

We had such a great time while Moppy was here. We especially enjoyed a VERY hot afternoon walking around downtown. Walker and I took Moppy downtown and had a awesome lunch on the water celebrating her birthday! 

One of the fun things we did while Jules and Pops were here visiting!

Check out our HANDSOME Captain!! 

We had sooooo much fun on the boat Jules and Pops! 

Thank you for a super fun day!!

Collecting seashells on Masonboro Island!!

We enjoyed our month of June so much and are so thankful for our sweet friends and family!

Happy Birthday, Walker!

Happy 4th Birthday, Walker Leigh!

You are such a special little boy full of life and laughter! It's so hard to believe you are already 4 and changing every second. You make Mommy and Daddy so happy and we are so proud to be your parents!!

Walker woke us up at 5:55am this morning and the first thing he said was, "Daddy, I'm 4 today".

He couldn't wait to go downstairs and open his birthday presents.

Check out my new Spiderman PJ's!

Can you tell how super excited he is about his Preschool workbook....HAHA!

We did have a lot of fun working in it today:)

So excited about his new turtle beach towel!

So pumped about his very own set of left handed golf clubs!

I think Daddy is just as excited:)

Happy Birthday pancakes!!

We had originally planned to hang out at the beach or pool today to celebrate, but instead we had torrential rain all day. We decided to head to our local fire station. I think the firemen see us coming and say, "Their bbbaaacckkk, lock the doors". The firemen are always so nice and very patient. They explain the different vehicles and always answer a million questions.  We met our friends Grady, Asher, Ella and Oliver there.

Driving the hummer used for brush fires.

Driving the rescue boat used in the ocean. 

The firemen would rock the boat pretending to be in the ocean.

Driving the BIG red firetruck!

What better way to spend a rainy day!

They had so much fun running in the rain.

Walker chose Chick-Fil-A for his birthday dinner and Brrberry for dessert! 

He got to meet Jack the Clown. Jack gave him a tattoo and made him a birthday hat! I could not believe he actually got this close to the clown.  Walker also gave the cow a high five. Oh my...Patrick and I were shocked!
