Fun Family Weekend

Well, we are a little behind on the 4th of July festivities, but unfortunately, this past week, we have had some "mysterious" stomach bug in our house :(. At least, that is what I am hoping it was. Lainey Hope became ill with what appeared to be the "stomach flu", and then seemed better for several days, but then another random episode of throwing up began. Palmer also had one small round that seemed to literally come out of nowhere. I am hoping that it is now officially gone!

So, since we have had quite the boring week at home, I thought I would update on our 4th of July weekend! As you can see, we had some very special visitors! We were so excited that Uncle Travis, Aunt Kelly and cousin Bennett decided to come up north for the holiday weekend!!!

The babies of 2007!

Oh what a run for your money these two little characters can give you!

Me and my precious sis-in-law Kelly




We went to see the fireworks display in our small little town. Can you say "Americana"?/"Mayberry"?
My son and I love to frequent the local "Frosty Boy", get slushies and drive around our one square block, blasting Justin Moores "Small Town USA" song.
Good times...right here in "Mayberry"!

Palmer and Abbey :)

The whole Speck clan
The weather was AWESOME that night, and I think we all enjoyed the fireworks!

Wakey-wakey, eggs and bacey!

Mornings come all to soon after a late night here in Small Town USA

Later in the day, Palmer and the neighbor girls had a grand ole time dressing Lainey Hope up, and putting on some big shows for us!

One can never get enough of Justin Bieber blasting throughout their house!

I'll say it again....Good times!

Thanks so much for coming to visit Uncle Trav, Aunt Kelly and Bennett! We had such a fun time with you!
