MaryMayes, mom and dad had a great time around La Mirada for the fourth of July weekend. In La Mirada the city puts on a fireworks display on July 3rd, and everyone comes out to the La Mirada park to picnic, play and then watch the firework display. On Friday night we got to hang out with our good friends Matt and Sarah Beth Getz before they move to South Bend, IN. We went to the park and then before the fireworks show we came home to give MayMae a bath and watch the fireworks from our apartment. MaryMayes loved watching the fireworks, though she didn't like the noise of the ones that some people were shooting around us. It was a fun night, and we will miss the Getz's as they leave for Indiana where Matt is going to pursue his Ph.D in philosophy from Notre Dame (He's smart). We are really bummed that they are leaving, but so excited for them and the little one on the way.
On July 4, Brian and Carole Hedrick came and had lunch with us to celebrate the fourth with us. We bbq'd (but I burnt the tri tip...boo!) and had way too much to eat, though it was all delicious ('cept the burnt stuff). We then went to the park to play for a bit, throw the football around, burn some calories, watch Nooni steal the football and run for a touchdown, and just enjoy our time with Brian and Carole. The Hedrick's are amazing people and we love hanging out with them.
It was a really fun July 4 weekend, though we did miss being around our family. Here are some pics for you to enjoy.
The princess was decked out in her blue and white stars with red bow. Yup, she's patriotic.
Such a princess...she loved being around everyone.
On the fourth, MaryMayes wanted to play football with Uncle Brian and Daddy.
She could...go...all...the...waaaayyyyy... touchdown!

Nooni loves her purse.
This picture cracks us up because when we bring the goldfish out, MaryMayes refuses to take her hand out of the container...she just keeps it in there with a big smile on her face.
"Dada, abeep poowow mana ooprah daw oop bah" she says as she plays with the camera.
