God Bless America!

Happy 4th of July 2011!
Last year at this time we were waiting on pins and needles for Sawyer's arrival!
This year we celebrated in style with our almost little 1 year old!

It was a great weekend! We snuck in an awesome little reunion with some great high school buddies of mine...

(sorry it's a titch blurry, the hubbies were having too much fun with this photo shoot:)!)

Then onto the 4th of July MADNESS!!!

Every year Grand Beach has a golf cart parade and this year marked year #2 we decorated a cart and the boys cruised in style! This year we went with Americana because it was on sale at the party store, not super creative, but fun none the less!! Our friends the Mick's also have a special family connection to New Buffalo, as part of their family vacations up here every year! They were able to come for the parade and ride with kids and it was an absolute BLAST! Griffy just adores his buddy Charlie, so you can about imagine their enthusiasm!!

On the actual 4th we hit up the beach finally! It was a beautiful day!


They had a BLAST playing in the sand together and were covered from head to toe!

My little beach bum!

How blessed we feel to have friends and family, beaches and the lake house, things to celebrate, freedom and people who serve so we can have it, and a beautiful country for our kids to grow up in. God Bless America!
