July 4th

Happy 4th! Well 5th actually, but we hope you all had a wonderful July 4th weekend. I couldn't believe it but we went to bed last night without seeing one firework--we did watch some on T.V. but did not see one outside. Crazy huh?! I guess that's a good thing though considering how dry everything is and the wind started blowing pretty hard right after dark. Hopefully there weren't too many fires last night. We had a great week and weekend. Boone had his 6 month checkup and shots on Wednesday. He did great--as always--there were some tears but he got over it pretty quick and was back to laughing. He is still in the 90% for weight and 75% for height. He is now 27" and weighs 20.7 lbs. That is just insane! This weekend we hung out at the house and had a really nice, relaxing weekend. Brian cooked out yesterday for the 4th and oh my gosh I can't even begin to tell you how good the ribs he made were. They were unbelievable--- best ribs I have ever had without a doubt----seriously good! He also cooked a brisket and turkey so we will be able to eat on that the rest of the week. That will be so nice! This was by far the best 4th of July I have ever had. We didn't do much and didn't get to see any fireworks but it was a beautiful day with really good food, cold drinks :) and my sweet little family-- I can't wait until next year when Boone will be able to really notice the fireworks, that will be really cute. Maybe we will actually see some next year! :) Hope you all had a great one too-- love you all








Boone Collier.....aka "Crazy Eyes"
Don't ya just love this face


I don't know if you can see this but he always wants to hold his own bottle but he ends up shooting milk all over his face....he could milk a cow with the best of them (it's a good thing I'm not breast feeding anymore! :) Was that too much information?)



He sat like this for 10 minutes just staring at me



Check out those legs!

Boone, you look like you had a good 4th of July! It sounds like you guys had fun, but we missed you. Your Dad and I were talking about how much fun we had last year with everyone here. Well... you might not have had as much fun as everyone else, you and Megan being pregnant, but we enjoyed having everyone. We had a pretty quite 4th also, some ribs too! A few fireworks with the neighborhood, you know how this block is. Road the mule over to Sadie's and saw Jake, and Laney! That was fun! Have a good week, we miss ya'll and we'll see you soon! Love, GiGi

Boone next year we MUST go to Lubbock so you can be in the July 4th parade!!!!! Laney can pull you and Jake around and you can get ALL dressed up! Glad you had a good 4th! Love ya-Grammy

Ooops, GiGi needs to learn how to spell rode correctly. Guess I won't be teaching you grammar, I guess your Mom and Grammy will be taking care of that department! Love, GiGi

I think Boone ate some of those ribs while ya'll weren't looking!! He is really reaching for his toys and will be holding that bottle by himself soon
