4tH oF JuLy!!!

We had an awesome 4th with family & friends!! The 4th of July is one of our favorite holidays! Here are some pics from yesterday... I actually kinda' went camera crazy for awhile. Surprisingly. ;)

Our annual family BBQ at Grandma Vrbas' in Culbertson...

Tom, Keith, Amber, Joy and Denise...

I always manage to catch a funny face on Joe. :)

Uncle Jared and Peytie

Love this pic. See the reflection off the car?

Lukester!

~Abby~

Missy & Jake

Hangin' out on the blanket, watching the kids shoot off fireworks.

Abby was really trying to join the rest of the kiddos...

Miss Grace, sportin' her mommy's shades!

Milk & blankie... the only 2 things this girl needs.

Oh yeah... AND her mommy! ;)

Josh

Say cheese, baby!

See... Sawyer knows how to do it!

Tami, Matthew, Amber, Miss, Jake & Abby

These 2 were crackin' us UP!

Peytie, probably begging for more fireworks. ;)

The loungin' babes again...

Smoke bombs...

B'Bye...

Run, kiddo... RUN!!! ;)

Sawyer was saying, "Woot, daddy WOOT!" (Look)

Time to pick up the shrapnel...

Sawyer, helping pick up... she really is quite the little helper!

She's also good at "watching"... ;)

In desperate need of a nap by this time... (didn't take one tho'.)

Sawyer and her Papa Jerry... LOVE this pic...

Miss Kenna... I can't believe how grown up she's getting!

This was hilarious! Sawyer kept sneaking some of mom's pop. She would hunch down, take a sip without touching it with her hands, then run away giggling. So ORNERY!

Who? ME?

Peytie and her cousin Sabrina...

I really wish I would've taken the time to figure out the settings on my camera. Unfortunately I didn't, so I have no pics of the AWESOME fireworks that night... :(
A good time was had by all... as always. Thanks for the memories, guys! Love ya'!

A whole buncha' stuff!!

It's been awhile since I've posted again. Sorry. What can I say - things are never boring around here. We stay very busy! Here's a whole bunch of stuff that's been happening in our world this past couple months... (not in order tho' of course - you can blame Blogger for that!)

We've been playing a lot of "dress-up" lately, as this is Peytie's new favorite thing to do. =)

Ohh, mommy LOVES having girls!!

Spent some quality time with Nana...

Had our fair share of Sawyer meltdown's...

Got to attend the Hunt family reunion (Grandma Elaine's side of the family).

We've been spending a lot of time outside in the yard, thoroughly enjoying the warm days! The girls really love their waterslide/pool!

The P-Days crew has been workin' hard this past few weeks, preparing for the big weekend coming up!!

Grandma Betty was crowned Queen at her "Senior Prom"

Peytie made her mama VERY proud, at her Spring Music Concert!

Tori Rae graduated highschool!! AND was co-saluta-TORI-an!! WooHoo!!

(Looking at these 2 pics, side by side, I now realize I must've changed the color somehow in the top one. Her gown, most def was turquoise tho'! Weird...)

Peytie kicked butt (and totally surprised her mommy at just how athletic she is) at Field Day!

Did I mention we've spent a lot of time outside, where the girls (and their mommy & daddy) are most content...? Um, yeah - DEFINITELY! We heart summer!!

The Tennessee Waltz...

I kept forgetting to post this video. During the "Senior Prom" at the nursing home, my Grandma (the prom queen) danced with her daughter (my mama) to her favorite song. It was a very heart warming moment for me...
