Yesterday we started our day off at the Webster Groves 4th of July Parade. In the rain. But who doesn't love a parade? Wet or not.
We had a great time, the girls especially, (thanks JoJo and Mr. Ian for hosting such a GREAT party!) and since today I woke up feeling like I never slept (what is with my complete and total exhaustion lately?) I'm not going to talk anymore and just show some photos (event he really bad quality ones b/c IN THE END this blog is to remember my life!)...
Ok, quick back story... JoAn and Ian (who hosted the parade party) are our best friend Kevin's parents. Kevin and Angie, along with JoAn and Ian plus my parents are going to Florida together in August. My parents and Jo and Ian are best friends. We all go to church together and at this point our kids are so intertwined it literally makes my heart swell every time we're all together. We couldn't be blessed with better friends.
It was POURING when we got to Jo's house and so we had the girls take off their boots and put them next to Kate and Lauren's shoes... JoAn, who is an INCREDIBLE painter, said I just had to take this shot and I am officially printing this BIG for somewhere in our house!!!
I about died when I saw this image! This is Gray's future wife, Kelsey... OMG this photo cracks me up! It's so stinkin cute!
Here's the Allen/MacBryde clan...
Kelsey 10 months, Grayson 12 months, Parker 2, Bailey 3 (she turns four on Wed!), Kate 4 and Lauren 6 (almost 7)
I've never written it out like that and it kind of freaks me out that we have three kids between two of theirs! HA!
When "Big Kelsey" walked by she was mobbed by all the kids she babysits! I LOVE Parker's face here! We love Kelsey!
We kept shoving candy at Gray to keep him in the stroller! Yes. We are AWESOME parents! HA!
Angie and her new Rebel!
It really was a fun morning!
TODAY: We are laying low. The kids weren't in bed until 11pm last night but RIGHT ON THE DOT they were up at 5:30am this morning. UGH! I can barely keep my eyes open this morning which means I either need to go beg C to let me nap or get up, get dressed and go get a Mnt Dew! We'll see. If the rain holds off I have a family session at their home today... I LOVE shoots at people's homes so I'm excited about this one. And just WAIT until you see where Fresh Art is heading tomorrow! I can't wait! OH, AND I have a SUPER fun family session in the morning too... can't wait to show you were we're shooting! SO much fun stuff coming up!
Have a great Sunday!
