The best sound in the world? - A baby laughing

I love to hear Mckinley laugh. Believe it or not, the kids are so much better at getting her to laugh than either parent. She thinks the craziest things that they do are so funny. I caught only part of this on video. She laughed for over 10 minutes that day at the kids and they were doing the most random things. You can tell she just loves them! I'm so glad she has an older brother and sister to look up to.

Mckinley first 4th of July and family fun

We enjoyed a relaxing weekend over the 4th of July. We went to a small town parade and then later enjoyed a BBQ with friends. We also enjoyed the fireworks and the kids loved it! Brennon wants to go see more every night now. We let them watch from the top of the van near the end and they thought that was the best thing ever. Here are a few family shots!

And parade fun........

The kids love playing with their sister. It is so much more fun now that they are both older. They really love her and feel horrible when she cries. They build forts for her to lay in and read her stories when she wakes up. It's my favorite thing to see how they care for "their baby".

On days when I'm not doing hair we try to venture out to the pool or somewhere fun. This day we went to a petting farm and the kids had a great time! It was overcast, so we got a break from the summer heat.
