A Fun Family Fourth

So our cute little cousin Rylee came out for a visit,

(she was suppose to come to Disney with us but stayed to try out for cheerleader,

which was a good thing, cuz she made it! g-o-r-y-l-e-e!)

So, she has a air ticket and needs to use it and she decides to use it here,

we couldn't have been happier, she's a great gal and we love anyone who likes to visit us here in the Lone Star State!

So, she was so excited to wear matching Old Navy shirts, it's a family tradition that everyone use to do in our extended family but we still do it in ours cuz traditions are so fun and hard to break...

we had a fun fourth, going to the Coppell Parade, and then going swimming and then the good ole' American barbecue, which Kurt out did himself yet again!

(a day full of family tradition.)someone got a new pair of "stud muffin" sunglasses !

(whoa baby!)
some of us where adventurous at the pool....







And some of us weren't!





We all started trying to cross the lillypads......
Lynzie and cousin Arik were the only ones to be able to get acrossed
and they made it look so easy!
I got a great little video of Kurt, after a few failed tries, he finally takes a running dive and hydroplanes all the way across the lillie pads!!!
It was awesome but of course my computer won't load it!?!

it's not as easy as it looks...

okay, so I'm just as adventurous as the next girl, right...

it's been hard to sit on the sidelines and watch

(laughing all the while)

while others have fun and look stupid, so I decided to partake, I knew if I held onto the rope that maybe, hopefully, I wouldn't screw up my already screwed up knee, and so with alittle determination and alot of rope burn, yours truly did it!

Oh,

and not to mention this

totally.adorable.funloving.conpassionate.

toa42yearoldwomen.withabrokenknee little kid,

sat on the sidelines and squirted me in the face the whole time, just for some extra fun!!!

A Fun Family Fourth!
