Our 4th of July

 We had a great 4th of July! I made these fun shirts for the boys and had to get some shots of them first thing in the morning, before they got to messy!

 My oh so cute Hayden!

 Tanner with those melt my heart dimples!

 fat chance trying to get a shot with all three of them smiling

 And my ever so handsome Mason!

 We had a BBQ at our house in the afternoon

 CUPCAKES!

 The kids enjoying lunch outside (adults ate inside where it was nice and cool)

 Tanner showing that it is indeed the 4th of July!

After lunch we went to the pool to cool off. Then headed over to a friends house for more swimming and a fireworks show!

 Can you tell the boys loved the fireworks!

It was a great day full of fun celebrating our country!

Playdough fun!

Making Playdough has been on our summer fun list and we decided to cross that off the list when we had some friends over! I love that playdough never gets old!

Miami Seaquarium

 A couple of weeks ago we headed to Miami (only about 30 minutes away) to check out the Miami Seaquarium. Its no Sea World, but they did have some fun shows and the boys loved it. We actually went on a great day that wasn't to hot and wasn't to crowded!

 

We walked in and a lady there let the boys hold these cool birds. The boys of course loved this and got the day started off in the right direction. 

 Here we are at the Sea Lion Show

 The Seaquarium sits right on the edge of the beach

 The Whale Show

 Touching the Sting Rays

Checking out the pretty birds

So Big!

Feeling so BIG in my BIG boy car seat! It's a whole different world from this view!

Key West with G & G Steel

 Grandma and Grandpa Steel came to visit us a couple of weeks ago and we had so much fun! We went to the science museum, played tennis, went to Key West, and enjoyed every day we had with them.

 At the Museum we had to check out the gift shop to see if any of Grandpas display cases were there, and sure enough there was a couple of them. He had figured that they were ones he had made over 10 years ago! We love finding these all over the country!

One our way to Key West we stopped at Islamorada and went to Robbies. We had a delish lunch (the shrimp tacos were fabulous) and also fed the tarpon. This was a definite highlight for the boys.

 Eating lunch right on the water. Tanner was a little ornery here because he was hungry!

 These Tarpon were huge. As you will see from the video I was a little scared to feed them. As the fish jumped up to get the food I saw my life flash before my eyes!

 Beautiful sunset in Key West

 While in Key West we rented Kayaks, rode jet skis, and went snorkeling.

 Grandma and Tanner went out on the Kayaks first and were gone for quite sometime (they got a little lost) but had a great time!

They also had a fun pirate ship playground for the kids to play on.

Drew and the boys also went out on the Kayak

Mason, Drew, and I got to go out on a wave runner and had an absolute blast. 

To say Mason loved it was an understatement. Tanner on the other hand wanted nothing to do with it. He gets nervous trying new things.

Last, we headed to the beach and did some snorkeling. My camera went dead at this point so this was the only picture I got there, but the boys loved it and got to see lots of fish.

 We really did have such a great time! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for the fun fun time! We love when you come to visit!
