Fourth of July!!!!

Zach had to go out of town for a funeral so we were solo on this holiday...but luckily our good friends the McKnights came over with their girls and we had a bbq and our own little fireworks show. After we set off our own we went to watch the big fireworks show at Green Valley Ranch Casino. From where we were parked we could actually see the strip and all the fireworks shows going on across the valley...but my pictures didn't turn out so great. It was lots of fun...Brielle got super dirty and we managed to do sparklers without any burns this year! Hooray! Zoe LOVED the big fireworks show...can't wait to do it next year...if we're still here! :)

Zoe's Dance Recital

AWWW!!! She is getting WAY to big for my comfort zone! Here is Zoe's 2nd dance recital! Less nerves than last year so it went lots better! Brinly, (pictured above) and her did such a GREAT job! They did a Lollipop dance, a sleeping baby dance, a sailor dance and a "silly"dance! It was so cute! Miss Amy ALWAYS does such a good job, way above and beyond what anyone else should have to!!! WE love her!!! Who would have thought that I would have a dancer!!! It figures...it must be karma. (p.s. she is still playing soccer in the fall too though!!!) :)
