Happy Fourth of July!

This weekend we took a quick trip to Lubbock so that Brady could meet his Great Grandparents and our Aunts and Uncles!! We left at 2 a.m. on Friday morning and drove to Dickens, Texas where we stopped to feed Brady (and get a picture of Jeff and Brady by a John Deer Tractor). We got to Lubbock just in time for the parade! In Lubbock, the parade is an all-town affair! This was my first time to go, but Jeff grew up going every year.



Brady seemed to like the parade pretty well until the fire trucks came by and turned on their sirens.... he started wailing and it took forever to get him to settle back down... and once he settled back down, here came an ambulance with his sirens. Is it really necessary to turn on the sirens when we're standing right there? What if there really was an emergency? No one would move because they would think that it was just because of the parade!

Anyway, after we went to the parade with Jeff's side of the family, we went to my grandparents house for lunch. Brady had a great time playing with Megaw and Big Daddy and then he met my Aunt Carolyn and Uncle John too! We went over to Jeff's grandparents' house for dinner and had some good playtime after dinner as well (which is unusual for him, but he did pretty well!)

On Saturday, we all had breakfast together at Jeff's grandparents' house.... our grandparents actually go to church together and have Sunday School class across from each other. It was great fun and we sat out on the front porch chatting for a long time afterward! Brady had such fun visiting with his great grandparents!! On our way out of town, we stopped by Aunt Sharon's house (Jeff's aunt) and saw all of his cousins. We didn't get to stay for too long, but everyone got to see our little Bug.

It was a quick trip and it was a lot driving but it was such fun, and our little Brady Bug did so well. Today we missed church and have laid around the house as a family all day. I actually think that Georgia's more tired than any of us.... she's only left the bed a few times to go to the bathroom. Brady Bug has had a fun time playing on his boppy on our bed and watching movies with us all day.... Although having a little one means no sleeping late, it doesn't mean you don't get to nap all day long. Jeff and I have been taking turns feeding him so we get to nap in between. What teamwork! Here are some pics from this weekend!
