4th of July 2010

I'm finally getting around to posting about our 4th of July trip, which I should have done long ago! This year we went to Napa and celebrated the 4th of July with Ryan's family. We had such a fun time! I love that Addy is now old enough to know who her cousins are and to love playing with them! Addy, Payten and Riley were like the 3 musketeers while we were there. It was really cute to watch them follow each other around. Whenever we go there, it makes me sad that we don't live closer to family and especially that Addy doesn't live closer to cousins. Here are some pictures to document our fun trip and our very fun 4th!

Of all the pictures this was my favorite! It looks like Riley is telling Addy a secret, so adorable!

Don't you love Riley's beautiful red hair? So cute!

Don't they look like they're about to go make mischief?

Riley making some actual mischief, digging into the giant Boston cream pie!

Addy had a pretty nasty fall down the stairs the night before this picture, you can see her shiner!

Photobucket
A shiner doesn't stop her from sporting her favorite accessory, which happens to be goggles!

Taking a minute to stop and smell the flowers

This place in Napa had such delicious burgers!

Riley, Addy, Payten and Teagan "helping" Aunt Juli decorate her cupcakes (which I wish I would have gotten a picture of, they were so cute!)

Photobucket
I find this picture very funny, because clearly all the men were talking about something hilarious (and quite possibly dirty!) and Kristen was totally not interested in the conversation!

The 3 girls playing in the backyard

This gives you a good idea of how Addy feels about fireworks. She is not a fan of the loud noises!

Highlight of the day, Aunt Juli playing follow the leader with Addy and Riley. It was so cute!

We had that Boston Cream Pie when we were with family also! It looks like a fun time! How nice to have cousins her age!

I am usually not very good at seeing which parent babies look like, etc. But in those top two pics, she looks so much like your husband -- which is weird because in the past I would have guessed she looked more jonesish. Cute girl. That's for sure.

Addy looks like she's having the best time--such darling cousins!

Thank you times a million for cutting me out of the picures at the end. I'd have to have some serious words if I found a picture of me, in my bathing suit, on any blog. But that moment sure was sweet. I loved that those sweet girls thought I was something pretty wonderful for a few minutes. Loved you visit and looking forward the the next!

I loved watching the girls ramble through the bushes in the back of the yard as though they were on an adventure. A fun visit!

I love when you visit! In fact, it would be even better if you moved here...then the cousins would have even more fun. You should move, even if it's just for Addy's sake :)
