We only have a week and a half until school starts, I really can't wait for school to start, its hard to keep Emma busy, and yet, the summer isn't over.

Independance Day

We had a lot going on for the big 4th of July weekend this year. We were going to go camping on top of it, but with the threat of thunderstorms, was just not gonna happen. We started out by going up to Nashville Shores on the 3rd, its this great waterpark located on Percy Priest Lake, its got the water park and all its glory of waterslides and pools, but also you get the beach, boating, jet skiing, ect. We also got an amazing deal too, our whole family got into the waterpark for only $5, we had a lot of fun swimming and enjoying the fireworks right on the beach. On the 4th we went to downtown Franklin for the festival, then walked over to Pinkerton Park (our favorite park) for a BBQ and dutch oven potatoes with friends and finished the night with more fireworks with a great view at the church. Take a look at all the fun!

Rick slept right through the fireworks!

Luau Birthday

Aloha, I am doing things a little out of order, but wanted to get to work on my blog. So on July 11th, I threw my friend Jenny a 30th birthday Luau. It was a lot of fun. Had 84 guests show up and just had so much fun. Lots of great food, games and Hula. Jenny has just been a great friend and just had to throw a party, any excuse really to party. So we had the party in her back yard. We had Roast pork, teriyaki chicken and rice, lots of fruit, and of coarse the Pina Coladas! Just take a look at how much fun we had with Limbo, Hula and great friends.

Here's me and Munni in the Kitchen cookin things up and makin the Pina Coladas.

Heres the birthday girl Jenny in the limbo! How low can you go.

Here I am in limbo, how low can I go? not that low apparently.

The men had their try at limbo, but just couldn't bend that way.

Girls Night!

Yes this is ladies night and the feelins right, this is ladies night, oh what a night! Girls night out at Shobnah's house, lots of food (all zero calories and zero fat on this night) and we played dress up in scarfs from India, did a little Zumba, played some games and just ate the night away. Once a month the girls get together for some fun without the family. We just have a blast! This night I got home around 2:30 am. Good Times. Me and Jenny in our matching scarfs

Here is Ivaan, Munni, and Alli. They got a little creative with their scarfs.

CMA Fest kick off parade.

After the Library, we were in down town Nashville for the CMA Fest Parade. Me and Jenny didn't know who most of the country stars were, so we had fun yelling out their names and being goofy. The kids had fun, lots of free stuff being passed around and then we went and got ice cream afterwards. Here are a few celebs I did know.
