July 4th

For the 4th of July my immediate family went to our family's farm called the 4-O. It's one of my favorite places in the world, which is the main reason why David and I chose to get married there. Anyways, we had a blast!!! My only regret is that I did not get a picture of all the whole family or even family units. I've got to start making a list of pictures I want to take before going places. Also, I've been trying some different settings on my camera, which is why the lighting, etc. looks different picture to picture.

This is what happens in my house when mommy tries to pack!

The sisters...I love that Kaylinn and Lissie have each other.

The cousins. Audrey is always so great with Kaylinn. I pray Kaylinn is as sweet to others.
Making silly faces!

Happy face! A good friend of mine, Shelley, taught me how to make bows. I am so thankful, especially having two heads to decorate...it only took me 3 1/2 years to learn!

Addie and John David having a great time with Poppie.

Hmmm...John David found something in his nose....

....here you go Addie! John David's always such a giver.

Sweet Addie.

John David and Addie. Notice that Addie is looking down on John David; they are only a month apart. I guess it helps that Addie's mom is 6', and it hurts that John David's mommy is only 5'2".

These two look a little ragged. By the way Kaylinn is holding leaves or "salad" she is going to make for us to enjoy later.

Of course we did some fireworks!

John David was most interested in touching the flames.

The newly engaged couple. Meg and Trey.

Oh how sweet!


Kaylinn wasn't as fond of the bigger or noisier firecrackers.

John David was also concerned.

The Tuley children. John David (2), Kaylinn (3), Lissie (3m).

I can't wait to make more memories! Next time I will be sure to take pictures of everyone.
