Family and Fourth of July

Last week Jamie, Jason, Aria, and Kelly came out for a visit! They made the 14 hour drive to Nebraska and arrived at our place later Wednesday night. Hailey was just thrilled to see everyone and especially to play with Aria- she just adores her!

 Thursday morning we went to an inflatable jumping place, I'm not sure if the girls had more fun or Wes and Jason?! Haha.
 Then later that afternoon we went to the Henry Doorly Zoo...

 Friday was the Fourth of July! We went to a fun neighborhood parade near downtown Omaha.We spent the day playing outdoors, swimming, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, then later we had a BBQ that our friends the Olsen's were able to come to as well. Then of course we ended the night watching fireworks from our front yard. It was the perfect spot because we could see about 5 different shows from our yard!
Bubble Time!
Hailey and Aria in the matching dresses I had made.... and of course their awesome fourth gear from Jamie!
Waiting for the parade
Saturday we downtown and played on the big slides, walked around and did some shopping, went to Chuck E. Cheese, went out to Olive Garden for dinner, and managed to squeeze in some time for sparklers!!! Phew!

 
I just couldn't pass putting up this little gem :)




When Sunday rolled around we were sad to seem our friends leave us :( But we had such a BLAST over the Fourth of July Holiday and the rest of their stay! Hopefully we can make that a 4th tradition!! Knowing we are going out to Utah in four weeks, does make the parting a little easier. We are SO glad that they made the drive out to visit us!!!

Haircuts All Around

Austin had his first "official" hair cut today! I held him the whole time, but he did rather well. I forgot about getting any before pics of him :( and he was so ready for a nap by the end I could only snap one okay pic of him. Next time buddy!  But he looks rather dashing!


This was Hailey's first REAL haircut. The only previous ones she's had is when Aunt Jenny trimmed off her mullet :) I can't believe how long her hair was! But it was really thin at the ends, so it needed a good cut so it can grow in thick! But I love her short hair, it fits her :) She did so great while getting her haircut done!
Before
look how long!!

After :)
