Fourth of July

We had a pretty slow Fourth this year. Unfortunately, Peyton ended up getting Strep throat. He had to have a shot first thing Friday morning but shortly after his shot his fever broke and he was feeling a little better by the afternoon. We had a great time with Mimi, Papa, GG, Pops, Aunt Emily and Uncle Jared! Papa got The Big green Egg for his Birthday and Bryan got to test it out on all the fourth of July food. I must admit his Ribs were pretty dang good. He claims that if I get him one that he would do a lot more cooking at home! Sounds pretty good to me! What do ya'll think?

"Sissy" Aunt Emily in the back as the Catcher and Bryan is doing the Pitching. Peyton absolutely LOVES Baseball!

Yes, Lake Claiborne has a Floatilla where boats come by and throw beads before the fireworks.

Peach Festival

Even though the Ruston Peach Festival was very hot this year that didn't seem to bother Peyton. He started off on Friday by attending the rodeo and then headed out eagerly on Saturday to the Parade. He tried to catch as much candy as he could possibly get in his bucket. Then he headed downtown to the rest of the activities to enjoy the petting zoo, the rock wall and some good ole peach ice cream. Bailey Jack was a trouper through the whole festival!! He was very facinated by the motorcycles in the parade and then he just took his seat in the back of the stroller and cruised around watching every move his big brother made. I have to say I was very glad to see home after it was all over!
