Red, White, and Blue

We had a nice Fourth of July Weekend. There was a lot on our "to do" list around the house to get done in preparation for our second baby girl on the way!!!---luckily we did get a bunch done and made room for a little fun too! Milla eating a Popsicle in honor of the USA


WOW!! The new Cumming Aquatic Center just opened at the end of June only a few miles from our house--we checked it out over the 4th of July weekend! It is AWESOME!! It has a zero entry pool that this playground sits in, a lazy river, and a big water slide. Milla played like crazy. She had no fear. We can't wait to go back. Children under 2 years get in free and it was $5 for adults...it was a fair price and well worth it!



We got to go celebrate Brady Sweeting's 1st Birthday! It was a firetruck bday party. Lots of firetruck decor and a backyard filled with pools and a slip and slide!!! With this crazy summer heat it felt good to have the water nearby.



Brady was living it up! He had a blast in the water and then covered himself with his cake! It was great! Christina (Brady's Mom and my friend from work) was SO sweet to make "egg free" iced sugar cookies in the shapes of firetrucks and #1 for Milla and Anna (who is also allergic to eggs). Milla kept saying... "Love Cookies"!!! Christina shared the good recipe that she used...

Brandon was craving some BBQ and wanted to make his own at home. He got a "Boston Butt" and smoked it for several hours on the grill.



Brandon's BBQ turned out great! He even made his own BBQ sauce...the vinegar based Carolina way...YUM! I was impressed!
