Lucky #7!

 We went big with Jon's 7th bday and celebrated at the new LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Kansas City

 The fun continued with family a week later. Love this kid so dearly. It hardly seems possible he's alreay 7.

A Fourteen Inning Celebration..

...even though they lost. The kids made it past 1:30am...yes, 1:30 am. BUT, since we were there until midnight, Jon got some amazing fireworks for his birthday! (He did cry when the Royals lost...saying all he wanted for his birthday was a win....he aims too high!)

Boom!

It's a tradition to head to our hometown and celebrate Old Glory Days over the 4th of July.

The kids joined their grandparents for a pancake breakfast at the fire station.

Even though ridiculously HOT, I crawled my way to another finish of the Old Glory Days 5K

We made it through the entire loooooooooooong, hot parade.

We planted ourselves in our usual spot to view the local firework display

Just Dance!

Two routines this year...tap and tumbling! Super fun to watch this little gal on stage...no fear, just fun!

Weekend at Lake Ozark

 A super good time with family at the lake (Jason was on his own adventure this weekend), but we still managed to all sorts of fun things together!
