Family Reunion

We went to Kentucky this past weekend for a family reunion and to celebrate Ma's 84th birthday. Our family from Texas was able to come in too! I had never met my cousin, Jason's kids who are the same age as Anna and Ella. It was so much fun having the whole family together!

Anna and Jayden had fun playing together!

4th of July and 8 Months

Happy 4th of July to everyone!

We had a great weekend with Nana and Poppy. They came to town Friday and have been here all weekend. Thanks for our date night Friday and allowing us to go to a cookout Saturday afternoon and night! We love our girls, but enjoy time away from them! Last night we all went to the Butcher Shop for dinner, then Joe and I took Anna to World's Fair Park for fireworks. Anna LOVED riding on the Ferris Wheel and the fireworks!

Ella Ruth was 8 months old on Saturday. She is changing so much. She now has 4 teeth, is sitting up really well, and is so close to crawling. She smiles and talks all the time and has fun playing with her sister.
