We love a good three day weekend around here, and with our recent travels, we were really excited to be home and be together for the weekend! So, we put on our red, white, and blue and we had ourselves a very Americana Weekend!
We loaded up our tiny people and headed out to pick blueberries! Anna won the prize for most excited about our adventure! (It was her first time, after all!)
Turns out that she loves being strapped to her Daddy’s back!
Although this picture doesn’t show it, the boys were genuinely excited to be there!
They loved finding the berries and picking them . . . although, William preferred to pick the berries that were not yet ripe.
Hudson did not seem to have any trouble finding the big, blue berries . . . although not ONE of the berries he picked made it home with us. Rascal!
Can you guess whose hand this is going for the white berry?
Sister may have eaten a leaf or two while Daddy tried to guesstimate the number of pounds of berries we had in our buckets . . .
Good Job, William, RIPE BERRIES!
Another snack for Sister Suzie . . .
We had a great time picking berries, and we hope to go again before the season ends . . . but, we will go earlier in the morning when it is not hot and steamy! And, upon reflecting on our trip, we decided that the boys mis-understood the purpose of berry picking. Instead of picking-as-many-berries-as-possible-to-take-home, we think they thought it was a “see how many berries you can cram into your mouth in under an hour” contest. Fun times!
We had a great birthday party for our sweet Nana on Sunday night, but I have no pictures to show for it. Boo to that! We love our Nana dearly and are oh-so grateful for her! Happy Birthday to you, Nanny! We love you!
Then, to celebrate Independence Day, we drove way out to the country to what we call “Uncle Tommy’s Farm.” It was hot, but it felt like the 4th of July. At the Farm, we celebrated Mrs. Bailey’s 80th Birthday!
These two were in heaven on this tractor!
Lots of fun visiting with folks!
Sister loved being with Uncle J. He is just so much fun!
We enjoyed cooling off on the back porch before heading home. This picture is just to prove that I was actually there. Ha ha!
The Birthday lunch spread was on the trailor behind the tractor—I loved that!
And, I am obsessed with this red roof. I just love it! Thanks for having us, Uncle Tommy and Aunt Mary!
AND, THIS IS MY LIFE:
Sister has been a little sad lately, so it finally occurred to me to stick my finger in her mouth, and YES! SHE HAS A TOOTH COMING IN! Her very first one! While I was working hard to get this excellent picture of Sister’s teeny tiny tooth poking out of her gums . . .
I found her jaybird of a brother doing this . . . and he knows NOT to do this . . . especially without clothes on.
What I am going to do with these two? Seriously!?
RASCALS!

What is that shirt that my Sweet William is wearing? And don't feel alone in the male nudity obsession. H has taken to stripping in the middle of the night to sleep naked. And then he wakes us up by screaming, "Hey, Mom and Dad, I'm naked. Wanna cuddle?" Awesome.
