4th of July

So, I know that it is approaching the end of July but thought I would still post pictures of the kids from our festivities. This was the first year we went to the country club for the "big party". The kids had the most fun...who wouldn't when there were at least 6 different bounce houses and unlimited train rides. Seems to be the hit these days. This was also Austin's first year to be awake for the fireworks...surprisingly he wasn't scared a bit, he actually was oohing and awing. We were able to share the weekend with both of our families and enjoyed the extra time together.

Finally I have the pictures...!

Going thru the tunnel

Well it's been a month since the last post and I am very sorry. It doesn't mean that we haven't been busy...I finally received all the pictures off my mom's camera. We went to the Lincoln Zoo a couple weeks ago, the kids loved it but the train was the biggest hit! They both also loved riding the horses but Hailey was a little grossed out by you know what!! We have had a great summer...can't believe it's the end of July.

Relay for Life Walk

This past weekend I participated in the Cancer walk here in Hastings. We had a team of 11 and were named the Healing Heroes. We even had a team mascot...a manikin dressed just like us w/ and tutu and princess get up. If there was a team spirit award, we would have won! The walk started at 6pm and lasted til 6am...we only lasted til about 3am! It was a ton of fun doing this for a close friend who is a cancer survivor.

WaterWorld

Hailey and Austin went out to swim at the Vontz's...Austin wasn't too sure about the water idea, but Hailey broke him in nice and slow!! NOT, he was soaked and loved every minute. They both wanted to stay longer.

Hailey's Family Party

We had a family My Little Pony party BUT the big gift was a Princess bike...she received many great gifts and had fun spending the day w/ her Grandparents V and L and aunt Katie.

Hailey's Birthday w/ Friends

We threw Hailey's first party, for her 4th birthday. She had 10 little girl friends play at the FunCenter here in Hastings. It was a My Little Pony party. She had a blast with all of her friends and wanted it to last all day long. She might be the girl who parties til the sun goes down, there's no stopping her.

The Hastings "Circus"

We decided to venture out and try the circus...hmmm, not much there bet the kids loved every minute. Austin sat on my lap the entire time in awe of the tigers and the elephants. Hailey enjoyed the food...cotton candy and popcorn! This may be the last time I post pictures of the "Hastings" circus...I hope!
