4th of July!

We were very busy this 4th of July. To begin our day we went to church where we had our VBS performace. After the performance, we had a 4th of July picnic at church. We had a great time and were very proud of Lauren!

We then headed home for a quick nap before we headed to the family reunion. Robbie's family always has a family reunion on the first sunday in July. The food and conversations were great. Lauren enjoyed playing on the playground! She also won a sand bucket with toys and a tiara with a wond from the raffle.

After the reunion, we went to my parents house to visit them and Uncle Adam. After our visit, we headed home for sparklers and a few fireworks. Lauren thought they were neat. I would ask her if they were "pretty" and she would shake her head yes and say, "pretty!" Then it was finally time for bed only to realize little bit was running a fever of 102.2...oh no...I thought she was just warm from the heat! She is better today so I am thinking it was caused from teething. She is teething up a storm. All in all, it was an eventful day! We hope you all had a safe and HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Pretty SPARKLERS!

Vacation Bible School

Lauren attended her first VBS this past week! She had a little hard time adjusting the first night in the nursery. She did not want to be away from me. Needless to say she hung around with me and her Uncle Dan. I wasn't sure if I should bring her back the next night but I really wanted her to get used to staying with other people and meeting new friends. The rest of the week went a lot better. She enjoyed playing with her new friends, singing, dancing and blowing bubbles! I was so proud of her on Sunday when she received her VBS certificate and having perfect attendance!
