Monday craft we decided to have a patriotic bake off.

4th of July starting out right with a great group working out with me!  I may have bribe them with free festive sunglasses;)

Then we had our red and blue paint fight.  I bought something new to use this year. Little paint balls to throw at each other.  And although they said blue and red it was more green and pink.  And they hurt, haha.  Well I learned not to use them again but we still had fun.  We ended up squeezing them as we got close to people so they would just pop on their shirt.

The job got down, we were very colorful.

Then we headed over to a friends house to have dinner and hang out.  We bought an ice cream ball you can roll around to make ice cream.  

It worked and the ice cream was good, sadly it only made a small amount , but had candy to out in to make up for it.

Friends make life better!  Fun evening with the Fergoso's.

Then we headed to Trophy Club right next to our stake center for more fireworks.  Got to see more friends!  

A wonderful 4th of July.

This weeks adventure we headed to Frisco to the National Video Game.

Really fun place.  The kids had a blast checking ti out.  Then the Frisco library was right next door.  Its super impressive!  Huge and lots of free things to do.

And on the way home we stopped by the Cowboy's training center.

Taking a little scooter ride over to CVS to get some ice cream.

Love these little adventures.

Friday Clifton went with a friend to a water park.  We decided to go to Alley cats to play.

Of course Hazen wanted to do mini golf.

While McKay and Stanley wanted to do go carts.

Thank goodness for Groupon we were able to play some arcade games as well.

That night Alex and I got to sneak away for a date.  Fort Worth Rodeo 

Fun night.

We came home to McKay asleep with Hazen.  He was having a hard time going to bed and she laid with him and ended up falling asleep as well.  Cute!  Plus Captain Cuddles had to join in on all the snuggles.

Other things from the week.  Alex and I went for a walk after putting the younger kids to bed.  Alex spotted this huge spider.  And after further examination discovered those are her babies on her back. Oh my golly, it was soooooo gross.  We let it be but had a hard time falling asleep wondering if it followed me home and let all her babies take over my house ;)
