Fourth Of July

This year we spent July 4th in Dallas. We weren't planning on it but we decided since we have not been to Dallas since before the wedding we would go. I'm glad we did. We had a GREAT time! I was nervous that Leslie would go into labor while we were gone and we were going to have to rush back to Conroe but she didn't!
We left after Shane got off of work on Thursday. He was able to get off a bit early so we made it in before Ava was in bed. We sat outside that evening with his parents watching Ava play with the water hose. She was having so much fun.
On Friday we met our friends Sammy and Julie and their kids for lunch. It was good seeing them since we haven't seen them since the wedding either.
On Saturday we hung out at his parents house and then that evening we went over to Courtney and Randy's house (Shane's sister and Brother-in-law) for dinner and fireworks. Ava did not care for the fire works too much because of all the loud noise but she did great overall!
The pictures below really are not that great because they are taken with my phone. I still don't have a camera. Hopefully I will get one for my birthday!

Time for a family picture!

Ava was able to come home with us for a week. Today we went to the fire stations (pictures to come) and tomorrow my friend Jordan is coming over with her kids Hallie and Ty. Hallie and Ava are only a month apart so they get along great! Jace is staying over tonight because Leslie is going to the hospital in the morning to get induced! Baby Brenley will be here soon! I'm not sure what other exciting things we will get to do this week with the baby coming but I'm sure we can think of something!
