Super Busy Weekend!

Happy 4th of July to everyone!!! We hope that everyone had as great of a weekend as we did. We packed so much into the past 3 days that the weekend felt like it was so long....Saturday seems like forever ago. I will just give a quick overview and share a few pictures. Sorry...the camera seems to be coming out less and less....maybe I am just losing my photographic energy right now:(

Saturday Riley had her 4th swim lesson. She continues to LOVE them, even if she never wants to get ready to get out of the house. I will take some more pictures before she is all done, but it just feels that almost every week would be the same shots. After swim lessons, we got cleaned up and then met Auntie Bika who took her back to mom and dad's. They all had a blast together. Grammy and Papa took Riley to the carnival and then shopping for snacks for when baby arrives and she has her slumber party there. In between all of that there was a lot of cuddling with Mason! For Mike and I it was off to check out (and make) our big purchase...see below. Then we were able to go out for a great dinner just the 2 of us, to celebrate our anniversary. It was soooo delicious, but I was so stuffed after.

Sunday we headed to Beecher to celebrate Ryder's first birthday! It was a great day spent with Mike's family and the kids had a blast playing together. Ryder enjoyed the day...I guess as much as 1 year old can tell you they are enjoying it. There was also great food, fun with family, and lots of time spent in the water by the kids. Happy First Birthday Ryder!! (Who share our anniversary as his special day!) Then we headed home, had a little R and R and were back out to see the fireworks. We had a fun time watching the fireworks for the first time as a family. The bugs were not too bad and we think Riley had fun...although she said some of them were too loud.

Monday we headed over to Papa Larry's and Tara's for some fun in the pool. These are actually the only pictures I took this weekend:) Riley once again had a blast jumping in and using the slide. As well as running people over with the float and squirting them. It was a wonderful day to be together and enjoy the pool. All the grown ups also had a fun time catching up and Riley got to enjoy some more cupcakes in honor of her birthday.

What a busy but fun weekend spent with the best people in our lives....our families!
