4th of July

Where has July gone!!? I feel like it was one of the longest months but yet went by so fast. So here goes my attempt at blogging the month of July cause heaven knows a lot happened this month!

I was super excited when my sister, Bree, offered to come out the weekend of Roy's funeral to help with the girls and give me some much needed support. She lives in Boston so it was quite the haul but I was really grateful. She was so much fun...Emma is still busting out little phrases and dance moves that make me question where she learned it and of course her answer almost every time has been Aunt Bree! I also loved having her around cause it was like having my own personal photographer. So with that being said, my first ever Guest Posting....or stolen posting:

I went to visit the Adcocks for a couple of days and it was fantastic. Thank you two for letting me crash on your couch. I had a great time. We had lots of fun, Emma style. Which includes but is not limited to: making princess jewelry, building Aunt Bree a house, playing the princess card game, climbing trees, etc. And of course..lots of dance parties (this particular one was a Snow White version, what you don’t see pictured here, is me with a Fancy Nancy feather boa)

Sort of a gypsy Snow White look

She did twirls for about...oh...40 minutes

Princess card games

She got tired of building me a house about 20 seconds in...

Glitter is always a great thing to give a child

She would have climbed it if she didn't keep getting pushed out of the way by some naughty boys!

And here are some of my favorite 4th of July moments:

Taylor showing her patriotism

Megan and Emma's AMAZING flag cake

Meg and Chris promising Emma six Cheetos if she would take a picture

Hot mama

This little one is so delicate. I love her cute little features

Emma's favorite moment...this crazy bike/car thing...

A bike/car full of patriotic Adcocks, and a very happy Emma

And then there were the fireworks:

Gorgeous California sky over the ocean

KA BLAM

My favorite Emma smiles:

And my favorite moment of the trip…when I accidently gave Emma Prune Juice instead of Apple Juice:

Isn't she awesome with the camera! She really captured a lot of great moments. Here are just a few more of my favorite pics from the annual Adcock 4th of July BBQ at the Park...

Chris with his oldest brother, Kenny, and his children below.

I was so happy to catch this picture of Emma as she reacted to accidently throwing the frisbee in the water. Whenever an accident happens, her response is always to cover her ears...same as mine.

Bree...we miss you!! Come back soon!
