Independence Day - God Bless the USA!

Today I am posting my first blog...yay! It is Independence Day 2011 and the Hayes boys couldn't be more excited. We started the festivities with the Cambridge neighborhood parade followed by games and shenanigans at the Cambridge park...then onto swimming at our house! 



We are headed for the line-up.  With Hunter on his scooter and Parker on his bicycle, we are ready to roll.  We tried to get the boys to sing Lee Greenwood's "God Bless America" in their loudest outside voices but they wouldn't go for it...not that they even know the song let alone the words!


You can see the look of determination on this lil guy's face. He is sooooo BIG if you know what I mean.  Precious...is what I say!


Nothing like scooter SWAG!  Hunter is warming up the wheels for the big parade. 



Two-thirds of the love of the my life! 




LET THE water GAMES BEGIN!



There's something about boys and water guns.  A perfect combination on a hot July day!




King of the Mountain!  Look closely and notice the lack of teeth in Hunter's smile.  The four front teeth now reside with the tooth fairy!  His smile may be worth eight dollars to him but it's worth a million bucks to me!




Hangin' with Parker Hayes.  Peace out!



Onto the pool...it was so inviting on a 100 degree day!



A tongue that matches the swim suit that matches the water!



The sun was blazing!  This has been one of the HOTTEST summers I can remember but also one of the BEST!  We have had a blessed summer.  I have really enjoyed the boys being home from school. 




Parker pouring pool water on Papa Tom (wow, that's a lot of P's)!  Papa Tom was such a good sport!




Beautiful petunia's.  We thank Him for the many blessings in our lives!





Boomer and Murphy...they turn 11 this July.  That's like 77 to you and me!




Mary brought her famous rum cake.  Jon's day has been made!
