4th of July

We had a fabulous weekend. We had Grant and Liz and Cristy and Nathaniel come to our house! We are so happy that they came, the kids were counting down the days until they arrived. We took lots of pictures, so here you go. We had so much fun! Da made a cornhole game so we could play with grant. It turned out pretty good, and we chose WSU colors, crimson and grey. Maddie with her uncle Nathaniel.

Our only big group shot


We took them to Millsaps to show them around. A cute picture of Jack


Cristy and Nathaniel with the girls sitting in front of Major Millsaps tomb. (good times)


We took them to the reservoir overlook. A brother shot, Grant and Da
Everyone walking down to the water.
Almost a full group shot. Grant,Liz, Sadie, Da, Jack, Maddie, Nikki, and cristy. (Nathaniel taking the picture)


We took them to the cabycyprus swamp. It was pretty cool, its the first time we have actually done the little hike.

Da took this cool picture.



The swamp



We saw a real alligator in the swamp too! Yikes!



On Friday night we went to the balloon show. That was pretty neat, they had 17 hot air balloons.



A picture of Sa standing in front of the balloons, she has chocolate on her face, thanks to uncle Grant. His strategy in winning over the kids is to give them candy many times a day. I think it worked!

A cute smile( does this smile remind anyone else of a hailey huisman smile?)

Madelynn with her cute friend Kayla


Madelynn and Kayla sure love each other!


On Saturday night we went to the fireworks, it wasn't as good as cda(but what could be?) yet it was quite good and fun!

Grant and Liz at the fireworks, maddie said that liz looks so cute in this picture with her smile.

Da and I

After the fireworks, we did some of our own at home, Sadie did not like them! Poor little Sa cried, and than ran in the house and watched a show while we finished up.

Maddie on the other hand had a great time.

Isn't this a cute picture of Liz? I love it!

On Sunday morning, Grant and Liz drove home ( so sad) but Cristy and Nathaniel came to church with us, and after lunch, I was looking for my girls and I found them tucked into bed with aunt Cristy reading stories. How precious!




We took this picture right before we took Cristy and Nathaniel to the airport.

What a great weekend! Thank you so much for coming, we love you all!!!!

It is correct to say that Grant won over the affection of the kids, but only if you mean in general, and not the title of favorite Aunt/Uncle. Al Contrare, I believe the big-gunned Moreiras have that title ;)

I will try and get through our pictures soon so we can post them in order!!!
