Fourth of July!

Baking a cake for "America's birthday."

Pretty sure she thinks "America" is a little girl. 

She was asking about her during her party - haha!

Who better to practice on than your little girl who LOVES to play doctor??

Happiest little roly poly bug!! Oh I love her!

Snuggly babies make the best study buddies...

Uncle Tanner and Aunt Polly....err LISSY....came to visit for the weekend!

We LOVE THEM!!!!

They introduced her to her first slurpie...as they were driving away to go pick these up, Marli confidently waved out of the window saying, "Bye, mama! Going to errands!"

I'm convinced these two will have a special bond. Both second-born daughters.

Marli is FEARLESS in the water.

Is it even the Fourth of July without watermelon?!!

Of COURSE we had to have a properly measured pickle ball court.

Some of the best neighbors and friends.

SUCH a fun day full of ALL the food, swimming, slurpies, games, fireworks, and some of the best friends and neighbors!

We're all sad today that they're gone. They filled our pantry with yummy snacks, humored us by playing all our games, spoiled Marli with treats and surprises, took turns with each of my girls so I could focus more attention on the other one, not to mention driving TWO FULL DAYS to have one day with us. We love you and miss you and can't wait to see you guys again soon!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!!

So grateful to live in this country with my sweet Evan to raise our baby girls.
