4th of July Fun

We had a great weekend celebrating the 4th of July! On Friday, the 3rd, we were invited by my friend Jill's sister, Julie and her husband, David to their church, Ellerbe Road Baptist to see their spectacular fireworks show! I was amazed at how wonderful it was! David does all the fireworks and Julie does the narration. It's all done to music and chorographed so beautifully!

I love this picture! Look at little Miss Claire all prim and propper and then look at those wild boys!
The fire truck came in case they were needed and it was so neat that they let all the kids get a tour. They gave out the cute hats!

David and Julie. They are my good friend Jill's sister and brother in law, but we consider them our friends now!
Watching all the wonderful fireworks!




On the night of the 4th, we had a block party...in perfect Grey Fox fashion! Well minus the karaoke machine this year, but it was still a blast!

Camille and our neighbors, the Hagar's friend...didn't catch his name sorry!

We have a very talented street! Glenn is playing the guitar and singing. They go to our church too and I'm recruiting him heavily for the choir! :)

Our neighbor Drew playing the guitar as well.

Our friends from 'up the neighborhood' came to join us. Their son, Caden joined in with the tamborine! He was pretty good too!
Firework time!


I also want to add that even though we get wrapped up in the parties and celebrations and all...I never want to forgot why we celebrate Independence Day in the first place. If it weren't for our veterans, serving past and present, freedom wouldn't be possible. Thanks seems so inadaquate for their amazing service and sacrifice (some the ultimate). I'm forever grateful to all of our servicemen and women, past and present and it gives me great pride to say that I have one of them as my husband. God bless the USA!

Camille's 40th Birthday Party

My next door neighbor and friend, Camille had her 40th birthday on June 6th. So in Grey Fox fashion, we had a block party to celebrate! We had a great time with lots of food, dancing, fun, and just hanging out!

End of Year School Sleepover

A couple weeks ago, Jonathan had an "End of 2nd Grade" sleepover with some of his friends. Seth also had his friend Matthew over so he didn't feel left out! We had a blast swimming, eating, playing games, watching movies, and just having fun. This is a great group of boys and I'm so glad Jonathan has them as good friends!

I love having a room upstairs where we can just shut the door!

Lego building fun!
