Happy 4th of July Weekend

First of all we are going to back up and say Happy Birthday to Daddy on June 28.  We made him a cake, colored him a card, and he picked out his presents so he got exactly what he wanted.
We started the holiday weekend off with flash flooding in Houston.  Juliet was supposed to have a parade at school so I left work early, glad I did because it was flooding terrible and traffic was a nightmare.  Got to see her eat her cupcake and wear her cute hat so the traffic was worth it.  Craig came in among the floods to spend the weekend with us. 
I took Juliet to Little Gym in Kingwood on Saturday and she had a blast running around an climbing over everything she could find.  We also learned how to do a forward roll safely, but might I suggest not starting that unless you are prepared to stand there and flip her a couple dozen times.  We are going to look into the fall semester since it is every Saturday at 9:45 and we would miss a few weeks if we signed up now.  She needed new shoes so we went to Stride Rite and got her a pair then met Mama at Mommy to Bee and got a couple of dresses for Saturdays pics.  Hopefully the weather will cooperate.  We ate at Chick-Fil-A and Juliet was on her way to the Big L for some play time and Mommy was off for retail therapy at the fabric store.  I finished her photo album for her 1st year finally and am going to start filling it with pictures as soon as I get some printed. 
Sunday we went to church and picked up stinker for the 4th.  The Daigles came over and we had enchiladas and watched Star Wars because apparently since it was on, it was the thing to do.  Of course the neighbors started the fireworks about the time Juliet decided it was time to go to bed.  She did fine sleeping through them and they were over around 11.  Too bad the neighbors don't know how to clean up after themselves. 
Monday was a lazy day of playing and getting the water table out.  Juliet still loves water so that was a good investment.  She has started eating cake as long as there is no icing on it.  That's a start from crying every time she would see a piece. 
Juliet gives all out hugs.  She runs toward you and jumps in your lap throwing her arms around you.  I have to watch out or my chin gets clocked by her head.  They are awesome though.  Today is back to work and school and we all didn't want to this morning.  Pictures this Saturday, pray the rain goes away!  This is Texas, when has it rained in July??  Check out flickr, tons of new pics are up!
