4th of July in Lubbock

Jason's dad, Randy, and his step mom, Kathy, live in Lubbock. We decided since Jason's dad would not be able to come to us this summer we would take the kids to them. Also, Jason's brother, Brent, enlisted in the Army. He will be leaving in the fall sometime. So, we wanted to see him before he left for boot camp. We broke up the trip and stayed with Jason's brother Todd who lives in Ft. Worth on the way there and on the way back. The kids did so good riding in the car. We were very proud of them!!!

We finally made it to Lubbock. Now we were ready to swim.Grandy- We are so glad to see you!Jolie's 1st paradeIs that good baby?

Climb buddy climb....Jaelynn did not make it very far. :)

The kids really enjoyed sparklers this year. Since we were in Lubbock where you can see for miles and miles. We could see fireworks 20 miles away. It was very pretty coming from all directions. The kids enjoyed it more this year because it wasn't so loud. ;) This was our last night with Grandy and Grandmom. It was fun and we were glad we got go visit them at their house.

We got to travel back to Ft Worth on our anniversary.

( I will post about our anniversary later.) When we got to Ft. Worth we took them swimming with Uncle Todd and cousin Matt. They had a big time all together. When, we got back to Todd's house they took a BIG bubble bath.

Then, we woke up Monday and visited the Ft. Worth zoo. It was beautiful and very different than our home zoo.
