Happy 4th of July

We celebrated Independence Day by going to Jesus' House, spending a quite afternoon at home and of course making homemade ice cream...but this time we made chocolate ice cream!

Reagan and Cooper helped dad with the ice and the ice cream salt

This was the best picture of the two of them together all day

Chocolate ice cream with blue and red sprinkles

I think he liked it!

Usual Suspects

Most of the BAM group was able to get together to celebrate the July 4th holiday ~ with a pool party and cookout.

Cooper enjoyed his hamburger and beans

Reagan ate a cheese & ketchup sandwich

Into the hot tub they go
The gang's all here

Reagan loves her frog

Cooper and daddy swimming like fish

Reagan wanted to swim with daddy too

Cooper has become fond of his hat

As usual, the men played a game of Polish Frisbee

It was bath time when we got home ~ you'd think they'd have enough of the water

Cooper discovered he loved jumping in the pool

Friday Fotos

We began celebrating the 4th of July around here today. The kids wore their red/white/blue outfits to school/camp.

His smile lights up his entire face

Her smile will light up her entire face too ~ even if she's going through a silly smile phase now!
I tried and tried and tried to get a picture of the two of them together, but it wasn't happening. So, Reagan agreed to pose for "just 1 more" picture...

Water Works

I know, I know...how many pictures of the same two (cute~I might add) kids can I take in the same pool? Apparently lots. Reagan and Cooper got in the pool tonight ~ on a school night ~ and had the best time splashing around!

Reagan bought a new bathing suit with some of the money she got for graduation

Nothing like a Popsicle to top off a night of swimming

Reagan chose to stay in the pool a little longer

The lure of the Popsicle was just too much!
