July 4th Fun

We had a great time celebrating July 4 with 4/5 of our family. {Trent is a vampire and stays up all night and sleeps all day. Enjoy it while you can, I guess ha.}

We started our day riding in our neighborhood golf cart parade. It's such a small event, but we love it so much! The girls still really enjoy decorating our cart and driving around. We had to go to Target on July 3 to get new t-shirts as the girls had nothing festive, and we got some new decor from Wal-Mart.


Ready to roll out!

Love this view!

Love these peeps...just wish we could get our boy awake, ha.

You can see Paige's new hardware!

We had a little break after the parade and before we went to the pool. Brent played in a golf tournament, and the Gurley gurls came home and one of our neighbors came over for a little bit with her boys.

Drew's attempt at a flag made of fruit!


These girls have him wrapped!

After a few hours at the pool and a pizza dinner, we were all pooped! We have never made it to watch fireworks, and this year was no different - the girls were asleep by 9:30 and Brent and I weren't much further behind, ha.

Movie Review: Inside Out

We might be the last people on the planet to see Inside Out 2, but I finally took the girls over the July 4 weekend. My company gave us a 5-day weekend {GLORIOUS}, and we took full advantage!


Plot
: A sequel that features Riley entering puberty and experiencing brand new, more complex emotions as a result. As Riley tries to adapt to her teenage years, her old emotions try to adapt to the possibility of being replaced.

Review: Oh my gosh, we LOVED this! It was very funny {I laughed out loud so many times} but also so real with how our emotions change. I teared up numerous times thinking about my kids going through these changes - especially as 2/3 {so far} have some amount of anxiety. I just thought this was just about a perfect movie! And make sure to stay after the credits for a little secret scene!
