Star Spangled Kids

Happy almost 4th of July! It’s one of my most favorite holidays. Bring on the red, white, and blue!
These two. Always up to trouble. 

Hudson is so excited for 4th of July! He’s keeps explaining to me what fireworks are….he uses big hand gestures for the explosion and everything. It’s the best. 

Sadie took her first real steps this week! But will not do it on camera. I can’t wait to capture some photos of those legs walking…because trust me, it’s the best. 

Bathing suit brought to you by yours truly, circa 1985. Thank goodness my mom saved everything.  

And I’m dead from the cute.

Dead. 

Miss thing cannot be contained…even by one of her favorite people in the whole wide world. 

Cheers to a fun filled 4th of July!
