4th of July...

We left for Asten's parents lake house (in Alabama) Thursday when Asten got off work. We arrived around 8:00 and the first thing Grady wanted to do was this: He LOVES "Papaws four-nenner"
He let Daddy ride him around when Papaw finished and they saw some fox and two deer running around!

Friday morning Asten and I got to sleep in until 10:00! Once we got up Ann made us homemade french toast. It was so yummy! We headed to Rome for a full day of shopping.

There were some really neat boutiques in dowtown Rome.

We found the cutest little bakery. It's name was "Honeymoon".

I think we had one of everything! It was so yummy!

Grady liked the icing the best! ha!

He loves his Nana and Papaw

When we got home Grady wanted to get in his alligator swimming pool.

We just stripped him down!

On Saturday morning, our BEST friends arrived!

Lee, Amy, & McCoy Kate came to visit along with Bryan, Brittney, & Myles.

Lee wasted no time getting the boys (Grady and Myles) on the jet-ski.
It was Grady's first time swimming in the lake. He's been down plenty of times and always rides the jet-skis, but we try to keep the lake water out of his ears (He's had enough ear infections!). He did good keeping his head above water.

McCoy's first time on a jet-ski, I think! =)

Lee's brother, Jason got to come and bring his sweet boys down to play.

Sweet Cousins

Uncle Bobo

Nana (Asten's mom) took care of McCoy Kate...

...and Grady while we enjoyed some fun and sun!

This precious baby is so good!

She was just happy to be here!

Amy and I had so much fun tubing...

..until we collided on our last go around. =)

We still had so much fun.

We could not stop laughing!

This is what a 1, 2, 3, and 5 year old look like in a blow up pool.

They had trouble staying out of trouble. =)

We watched Asten and Bryan shoot fireworks from the dock before heading home.

We had a great 4th of July weekend!

Hope all of your families did too!!!
