The 4th of July is always one of my most favorite Holiday's. The reason being is that ALL my family is together. My sister and brother-in-law from Alabama always come down to visit and this year was extra fun because now they have a son just 2 months younger than mine. We were excited to see how the boys would interact and we were all just looking forward to having all 6 of us kids (the 3 "former" Brett girls and our handsome hubbies) together at mom and dads. Plus all the fun activities we had planned for the weekend. Sunset at the beach on Friday night, The parade Saturday morning, family photos and dinner Saturday night, and ending with the the big 4th of July party on Sunday night.
This is my cutie pie nephew, Blake Casey.
The first morning they came over, Bryce went right over toward Blake with a rubber ball in his hand and Blake took it right out of his hands and right into his mouth. This picture Blake has the ball. Bryce didn't seam to care that Blake took the ball he was more like "who is this kid I've never seen him before?". It was fun to watch them play next to each other all weekend.
(also pictured, myself, Nessa, GG aka: Great Grandma, and my sister Krystal)
All 4 of the Brett Grandkids.
Bryce (11 months) Vanessa (2 1/2), Blake (9 months) Kristina (3 years...1 1/2 weeks before her 4th birthday).
Pool Time Fun. Reni is holding up Kristina, the two of them played so well together even tho Reni was 10 or 11 years old. Thanks Reni for all the fun memories! Also pictured, Blake with his daddy, Brian, My dad aka: Papa with Nessa.
Blake and his daddy. (my bro-in-law Brian) For some reason when I see this picture I think of that new pampers jean commercial. Blake looks like he's Mr. Cool here! I love it!
Blake all bundled up with mommy (my sister Krystal)
All the guys were running around the outside of the pool to create a whirlpool effect. If you can see my dad and Ben on the farther side and Brian in the front. Nessa was floating behind Brian in the current. It was so funny to watch the kids just float around the pool because the guys made such a strong current! But I should mention that they were EXHAUSTED after LOL
Ben still running with Nessa and my dad recovering from all the hard work of running!
Lots of water fun. (Look at Ben's face...too funny)
Nessa and Kristina are still on Ben and Brian's shoulders...they're just under the water.
Cannon ball contest. This was Kristina and Reni (Reni is my sisters Foster child. She's a sweet heart.)
Daddy won! I couldn't believe I caught this shot!! That was HIS splash.
Now Ben was making waves for the kids!
My sister Monica and Bro-in-law Casey.
Blake, my mom and my sister Krystal (Blakes mommy)
Nappy Nappy Time
All the cousins in the bath tub together (with the exception of Blake).
Nate, Jack, Kristina, Bryce and Nessa
Nessa after bath time getting ready for fireworks
Sitting out by the pool watching fireworks over the lake as a family.
(We were on the very corner edge of the pool and at one point Nessa was trying to walk by and actually fell in the pool, pajamas and all).
All our friends and family gathered around the pool.
Nessa with Aunt Kristi and Uncle Adam (they are Uncle Casey's sister and bro-in-law but we call them Auntie and Uncle)
Nessa just had a choc chip cookie. Can you see the ear plugs in Kristina's ears?! So funny, she doesn't like loud noisesbut wanted to watch the fire works.
They were afraid of the fireworks. So after we put them to bed I went to check on them and this is what I found. They were both scared of the noises so they crawlled in bed together.
The end of a super fun and busy weekend!
