Deason's Annual 4th Party

Ever since John and Laurie got their pool a few years back, they have had a 4th of July party and let us all come over to swim. There is always such a fun group of people there and the food everyone brings is great! I always look forward to their party and getting to spend time with friends and family!
The kids got into the cupcakes before dinner! Papa and Ruth
I was glad Isaiah got to come with us! He is as much of a fish as my own kiddos!
Eric, John and some Kendalyn (not sure if that is spelled right but I love that name)
Having fun in the pool
Teri and Granny
Laurie, Brooke and Matt
Sweet Mason...I always love getting to see him!
Notice how beautiful Laurie's grass is! Most of us in Falls Town have brown grass due to the 100+ temps for over a month now. Hers makes you want to take off you shoes and just walk through it :)
Dinner time
Briana is the BEST cook! She always makes the best food and this year she made these super cute jello thingy's. They were so yummy and also very pretty to look at!
Yummy deserts on this table
We had a very fun volleyball game where the over 30 team stomped the youger kids!
Briana and Dom (she's the great cook and Mom to sweet Mason) She also made this yummy Peach Sangria that was the perfect thirst quencher for a hot afternoon!
The kids were tracing each other and then dressing up the drawings! Kelby's turned out pretty cute.
Thanks for hosting such a great party John and Laurie!

Jumping and Tricks

This weekend Isaiah is staying with us so we wanted to go swimming at Kirky and Grandmas so that the kids could enjoy the divingboard! We had so much fun and the kids are so brave with their tricks these days! I love the expressions my camera can capture!
Isaiah was very good with his front flip Kelby has some crazy moves!
She really wants to fly! She asked me the other day that if dreams really do come try at Disney World because she has always wanted to fly! Well Kel, only some dreams come true there!
Rachel and her family were there too and the kids love playing with her
We were trying to relax and kept getting attacked!
Momma can still do a front flip! I know I look silly holding my nose but I really hate water sneaking up my nose!
The kids thought it was fun to fill coffee cans with water and then wear them like shoes?! Very strange children but they had fun none the less!
Since we are in a county wide no sale/no shoot fireworks ban this 4th, Grandma bought the kids some poppers (as seen all over the ground) and some of the paper shotty things. Hunter would never try them but Kel and Isaiah had fun pulling them apart.
Besides the fireworks we watched on TV, this was the prettiest firework I saw all weekend!

Bike Parade!

One of the highlights of the summer is the annual bike parade at Mrs. Connie's for the 4th of July celebration! Last night we went and bought our decorations and got the kids bikes all ready for the festivities!
All of the bikes, scooters and wagons looked so cute! Amber and Parks!
Connie was discussing the parade line-up!
The kids were so excited and ready to go!
Here they come and thanks to my Dad we got to hear some Lee Greenwood during the parade!
Isaiah is still here and it was fun to see him in the parade this year!
The three amigos - Hunter, Hayden and Jackson
Here are the make shift stands!
