And READY!!!)

Week 27 Picture:

Happy 4th of July

We spent the day just Rocky, Me, and a very active belly :) 

We started off the day with Krispy Kreams donuts (until the ants attacked them), 

went to a parade, then grilled out at the NEW wonderful house (which I need to post pictures and do a blog on that), after grilling and eating a huge meal (brussel sprouts, corn on the cob, hamburgers, hot dogs wrapped in bacon YUMMINESS) we went into a food coma, to top off the perfect day we went to Biggs where there was a live band lots of people watching and some pretty decent fireworks!!!
