Cutie patootie ready to throw her candy at her first parade.

The cutest little "Statue of Liberty" around!

Noelle and I have really been lovin’ on each other this summer.  She is such a ray of sunshine and hope!  Gotta love her!

I had to post this pic because it just makes me laugh.  Noelle is holding up both of Anna Kate’s cowlicks but they don’t need any help in that department – lol!

Noelle’s favorite parts of the trip were driving the boat and being "The Statue of Liberty" in the parade.

Dad gets thrown in the pool…

Uncle Andy is the next victim…

followed by Uncle Jim!

Love love love my family!

Just had to end the pool pics with an AK hair pic! 

Because of traffic and baby stops, it took us 5 hours to get to the lake.  The girls did great, but I was getting super claustrophobic.  Every stop Noelle requested to hold "Ja ja," which was that day’s nickname for Anna Kate.

Our girls give the best smiles!  This is a pic of Noelle Saturday morning all ready for the big parade.

We have SUCH a busy week ahead of us but will share weekend pics ASAP.  Horseshoe Bay was so much fun, and it was great being with family we don’t get to see very often.  Happy 4th everyone!
