Paisley loved her little float tube. She was so content with just floating around the lake.

SUMMER FUN

This weekend we went to the Demolition Derby with Pete, Hayley, Greg, Jane, Lily & Urban. It was really fun. The cars got pretty smashed up. Paisley didn't quite know what to think of it. She actually fell asleep in the final round.

Proud to be an American!!

I'm so thankful for our country and the freedom that we have. We celebrated the 4th of July this year with our friends Pete and Hayley. We went to dinner at the brick oven and then went to the stadium of fire. It was a fun night. Carrie Underwood sang the national anthem and then put on a pretty good show!! The jets flew over the stadium (that's always my favorite part.) and we saw amazing fireworks.
