Summertime!

We have finally been blessed with warm, consistent summer weather!  We have welcomed the weather as it has allowed us to spend a lot of time enjoying the outdoors!  We upgraded Lila's pool this year -- it has a slide and an arch that water comes out of --she calls it her "sprinkles."  This pool came with two blow up dinosaurs that she LOVES!  See for yourself!

We were so looking forward to the Fourth of July weekend!  We had a lot of fun plans with friends and traditions that we were excited to continue.  Unfortunately, I was terribly sick Wednesday - Sunday, so our weekend was shortened dramatically, but we were still able to meet up with our good friends the Holub's to take in the fireworks at Ellis.  We planned a picnic style dinner, packed up our chairs, blankets and toys and headed off to find the perfect place to view the fireworks.

Our little firework!

We found our spot on the backside of the river, it was perfect!  We were the first ones there, so we had first pick, we got our little spot all made up and waited patiently in anticipation for nightfall!

Prime Location!

Picking flowers!

Sparklers!





Worth the wait!

We have had a lot of people ask us how Lila does with the fireworks, she absolutely loves them.  This year she gave all sorts of commentary during the show, letting us know each of the colors as they lit up the sky! 

This Friday found us visiting Mike's hometown of Center Point.  The Booster Club was hosting an Alumni football game that the guys all wanted to watch.  The weather held out for them, but it was hot!  The Stormin' Pointers played the Vinton Vikings.  We heard that the players ranged from 20-50 years old!  I have to say, I was impressed with the turnout, both the amount of players and the amount of spectators.  (Center Point won the game 12-0).



Hangin' w/ Daddy on the field he used to play on!

The girls decided to head back to the Hahn house about halfway through the third quarter to spend some time in the air conditioning and let the little ones roam around a bit more freely!  Lila and Henley are so sweet together, it is too much fun to watch them play and communicate!

It is hard to believe that summer is half over already!  We are hoping the weather keeps treating us right and that we have a lot more fun in the sun ahead of us!
