Hilton Head
















We just got back from our family beach trip and it was fabulous! This was my first trip to Hilton Head and I must say, I LOVED it. I just want to share a few of my favorite pics.

July 4th Celebration











Wow, what a busy and fun day we had. We went to Sunday School, grabbed some Chinese food for lunch and came home to prepare for our cookout & fireworks extravaganza! Paige & I made the Flag Cake from Ina Garten's cookbook and it was a huge hit! :)
As usual, my hubby put on quite the fireworks display. Some friends from our old neighborhood stopped by to watch with us, so it turned into a fabulous evening for us and especially, our kids!

She did it!!!







We had our POD delivered Thursday and with it came Paige's bicycle from storage. She wasn't ready to learn to ride her bike last summer but this year was totally different. She got on and with a little help from Daddy, she was riding all by herself in about 20 minutes. It was so thrilling to see her little face light up with her accomplishment. This morning she was up and dressed by 8:30 ready to hit the road. Way to go, big girl!! :)
